well $h!t !! i just figured out how to get the pics outta my phone n into the computer. now i’m havin’ trouble posting them up on here(bang head).
so for right now you fellas are going to have to view the first post in the “spotted” thread to see the new dragonship. as most of you know or have heard i bought an ’87 fj60 last spring. tomorrow it’s rollin’ into dry dock n under the knife. plan is to have it out to the may meet n greet in mississagua. yeah, go ahead, give it another turn, i work better under pressure!
some details:
-us truck, been in ontario about 11 yrs
-152k on the odometer
-interior looks about 8/10
-leaks oil like the middle east. you know, the auto rust proofing feature
-needs-both rear quarter rockers, getting chopped n capped
-rear shock crossmember , cut out old n burn in new tube
-fuel leak repaired, i believe i’ve located that to fuel sending line right at tank. my rad guy
believes he can rebuild the unit
that’s it in a nut shell n as soon as i can get pics up i’ll post em

Rear quarters definitely need some work!
Have you though about cutting off the rear quarters at the same height as the bottom of the tailgate? And just capping it off with sheet metal?
Two big upsides to that idea are simplicity and you can run a high clearance bumper similar to the one I built, that wraps around. I’ve never worked on a 60 so I dont know if there are setbacks or difficulties with doing this, but just a thought!
on it’s way into drydock
