Well, after having sold the 81 due to serious rust issues, and having been away from it for almost 6 months, I realized that I just couldn't stay away from the 60 series, so when I saw this guy on the market, I couldn't resist. It's a 1986 FJ60 that's been swapped to a 13B-T engine. So far I've had to swap the batteries and put in a new preheating timer, and it starts perfectly now. Immediate needs are a brake job and some new tires, as the current ones are pretty old and dry rotted. However, it's already been lifted about 2-3 inches and is sitting on 305/70r16s (one of the previous owners swapped in 80 series wheels), so it's sitting about where I want it to be sitting long term. Aside from the obvious mods (the engine, lift, tires, bumper, and roof bars), the interior has a bunch of extra gauges, 80 series leather seats, an H55F transmission, and a few other extras. I made a quick walk through video with some of those details, but I'll do a more in depth one later when I'm not up super late (for me, as I'm working nights right now). Almost everything seems to either be working, or have a work around (hence the extra gauges), so it should be a relatively simple matter to get it ready to daily drive.
Here's the walkthrough video, for those interested
