    My 36 year old 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60, well she's a beaut. I don't really know why I bought her, but I do my best to explain my newfound love for Land Cruisers, 60 series, 80 series, yeah. I picked up an FJ80 (really an FZJ80) awhile back and every since, have been drooling over FJ60s. Well, I finally decided to quit drooling and start wrenching, so I found a decent one for sale, and now it's mine.

    What a beautiful machine!!!! Absolutely love how this thing looks. Being a toyota guy for life, Mike has the best taste in rigs. His tacoma, 80 series land cruiser, and this FJ60 are all perfectly beautiful. The 80 is still my favorite land cruiser but can’t go wrong with any of his rigs. The wheels and tire choices look amazing on all his rigs.

    I had an fj60 a couple of yrs ago and loved it. I put bigger tires on it and it was great but did not use it much. Sadly, I sold it to my brother. He still has it and also does not use it at all. I am considering buying it back from him again and this time utilizing it the way it should have been in the first place. Not much better out there today to go overlanding in and they are dependable as all get out. Nothing you can't do in them if they are kitted out right. Good luck with yours and put some vids out of you using in in the mountains and such.

    Tuffy makes a slightly narrower box I have in my 1983 FJ60 with which I wheel the rubicon trail by me and use the brake no problem.
    Wagon gear makes great cargo area storage panels to access unused space inside quarter panels and tailgate. My 4x4labs rear bumper is super durable, tucks in tight and functional with multiple modular swing out options. Have fun with the 60.

    You can never have too many overlanding rigs! Toyotas rock! I had a 60 series (1984 BJ60, diesel Canadian spec, 4 cyl 5 speed and incredibly gutless). I liked the 60 series best, nice blend of retro/safari looking rig, then the 80 series grew on me (I like the brown you painted it, though I'd have gone more of a smokey brown, maybe satin finish). Maybe one day I'll get an 80 series. Though hard to justify, my 5.7 V8 Tundra CrewMax Off-Road rocks, got a Diamondback tonneau cover for it too, after seeing yours on your Taco.

    To me, white is such a great color. Especially white vehicle with black wheels. My 2020 Runner TRDORP is that same color and no matter how many I see I still think mine is the best. I would go the extra mile on the insides of the vehicle. Make it more comfortable for you since it’s kinda gonna be your “daily” driver. In a way. Kinda like you explained. Your gonna be getting groceries and maybe going to stores in it. So you wanna be comfy in it.
