I have never been a 'car guy' but I bought an INCREDIBLE '89 FJ62, which I ended needing to sell to pay for our child's birth.... Since I have caught the bug for all things Land Cruisers and someday hope to get a 62 back in the stable!... Someday... Until then, this is my exploration rig.

Better photos to come... someday

I've owned my 1996 80 Series about 6 (maybe 7) years. It has a lot of mods and additional equipment. Bought at 110,000 miles, currently at 165,000. I drive it when I feel like it, but it is not a DD.

Among the various mods I made it I most value the 44 gallon Long Ranger aux tank, allowing 69 gallons total and over 850 miles range. It is locked with factory lockers, dual batteries, OME 2.5" lift, Hannah Quality sliders, ARB front and Kaymar rear with dual swing away (ladder/water and spare tire) carriers. I am running 265/85/R16 Toyo M55s on stock, powder coated rims. AutoHome Carbon Fiber Air Top roof tent, ARB awning. Engel MT45 on Kwickee slide. I am currently contemplating Slee's tundra V8 and 5 speed transplant - awesome performance in the best cruiser ever made.
