That 60 belongs to Ian who works at Proffitt's Cruisers. It's a super clean rig and he has put a LOT of work into it. He is not a member of this forum but I'll tell him of the compliments tomorrow at work.

Stock FJ60
I have a stock 1983 FJ60 4 speed with 147K miles on it. The body is straight and it runs great. There is a small rust spot on the rear drivers side fender. It is for sale for $3900. You can contact me at longrider_1947@yahoo.com

My cruiser sits on 315/75 16 BFG mud terrains. I originally ran 15 in wheels but found the sidewalls on 16 in tires actually work better at lower air pressures in expeditionary applications. The roof rack is a combination of things both bought and fabricated. The rack is a pretty economical "safari rack" built for a jeep cherokee and ends up a 3/4 length rack w/ an inti light guard/bar added. The rig has a lot of mods I absolutely LOVE, but I dont feel it contends with that red 60 or w/ Henry Cubillons (former) green 60

I absolutely LOVE my 85 FJ60 with tbi350 and 700r4. The engine swap was a loabor of love that's for sure. It only took me 3 years to get it done but now that I drive it all the time it was worth the wait. Need to do some maintenace on her this week as it's time to re-torque everything and replace some wheel studs I broke the other day (actually I'll be replacing them all), but other than that she's been a great ride so far.

Hey Grease Cruiser,
Could you ask Ian with the red cruiser where he got that hood liner?
Thanks,
Dylan

Hi Dylan,
Not sure if it is the same stuff but Dynamat makes a hood liner, I had it installed on one of my old rigs..If I remember correctly it was around $50 and I got it off eBay..

Yes the rears are trimmed. I had the chance to check it out at the expo this year and it is done very well. They even have a nice roll to the edge, looks like it came from the factory.
I dig the 60 series. Especially when they have that extra touch like b-mans.
