FJ60 Diesel Campteq Camper Build

[ProwlerDriver]

This is a cross post from my IH8mud thread but I wanted to post here since this is 100% an expo build.
After seeing the Campteq on the 80 I knew I had to have one. Well 5 years after sending my first email to Eric at Campteq patience and persistence have paid off, because he developed a 60 series version !!

Its been in the works for awhile now and got some completion pics yesterday so it thought I would share and start documenting this build.
I told him I really wanted to match the lines of the 60 and the prototype (below) he showed me really hit the nail on the head:

So that is just the bottom portion. It will be taller as seen on this 75:

Annnnnnd here is mine all finished up and in his shop:

The roof is getting chopped. I want to be able to stand in the back

I have a few other goodies I've been saving up for in the works too. Speedhut help me get these gauges perfect. I wanted them as close to OEM as possible and they helped nail it:

I will eventually be putting the EGT and Boost Gauge in a custom bezel. They will go where the ash tray currently resides.

The cruiser has been off the road for a bit because I have basically have gone into full "radiator leak build" (see my signature for this) mode. I saw my buddies Cummins 2.8 after torfab fabulous job and I wanted my engine bay to look that beautiful. My cummins was spray painted all the same color so I used my covid time to take it ALL apart.
-Turbo hot side, exhaust manifold and down pipe all ceramic coated
-EVERYTHING else powder coated, including making the fuel lines look pretty
-New dual odyssey batteries with stainless trays
-New HPS silicone hoses around turbo
-Hood Lift Shock Conversion
-High strength stainless fasteners everywhere
-Most hoses switched to black braided, Black aluminum AN style clamps on literally every hose.
-All wire loom switched from plastic to painless power braid. heat shrunk on all ends as applicable
-New Dual electric fan setup attached to a new mishimoto aluminum radiator filled with Evans waterless coolant so hopefully no electrolysis issues
This took forever but my engine bay now feels like a work of art (note: this is a 90% finished pic, more will come upon completion, waiting on some odds/ends):

A few other goodies heading my way...
16" with 255/86/r16 toyo M55s going on

and I could only read the reviews (especially the one on this site) on these so long before I had to finally splurge. I will hook the seat heaters up to factory defog switches with custom stickers

Im also going back to the fold flat bench for this build. That means I will be selling my newly recovered hj61 seats with the split rear bench... PM if interested!

So I asked this on mud and still looking for opinions. Curious on what the group would think looks best for the top. I thought black would look cool but the heat would be bad (I don't have A/C either). So thinking white or color matched, found this 80 which is all color matched and I think it looks good. Or maybe base color match and top white? Any thoughts?

Outstanding work! Congrats on getting the first 60 Series Campteq I've drooled over his system for years. I maybe interested in rear split seat. Are you located in Colorado?

 

[ProwlerDriver]

I'm up north of Seattle. I'm selling the set of seats for 850. Which is basically half the recovering cost! PM if interested

When is the install happening?

On color choice, I think black would look good as well. I'm considering doing black around the outside and white on top. I think it would look good driving around. Maybe not so much with the tent deployed. Interested to see what direction you take.

Just got to Aspen for the install. Took my time on the way down through Montana and Wyoming, I can't wait for this the top.
Averaged 30 mpg the whole way. So awesome.
