    One of the best looking 60s I've seen in a while. That front bumper looks very similar to the ARB style bull bar on the front of my Toyotas. Always wanted a 60 myself, for the same reasons Dave said it's really that in between model, still rugged, but with modern updates. Same reason I still want to add a 85 pickup to my collection. Last of the solid axle and first of the fuel injection.

    I love it! The '87 FJ60 was the last carbureted Toyota to come to the states. Also the last with manual trans and windows. The only circuit board is the AC control module. This particular one is in astonishing shape.

    That is an awesome baja truck, the more i travel deep into trails in the baja peninsula the more my idea of an ideal baja suv changes, the trails get narrow and rocky and that changes every season with the heavy rains and hurricanes, that would be great of remote camping and exploring, good luck with the build, its going to end up better that you tought.
