You should do an actual budget build that most of us views could afford. I'd say no more than 30k for the entire build car included. No sponsors no extreme DIY.. just a down to earth budget build that we can relate and aspire to :)

All a 60 really needs for off-roading is a decent 2 inch lift, some good 33's and lockers. They go just about anywhere. Have had 5 of them now. Drove my 61 around Australia last year without a worry the whole trip. Epic cars really.

I had a 60 2h. Braught it defected on the side of the road. Had 820 thou on the clock and not a panel was without rust. I stripped it, bogged it, primed it, sold it to a mate who painted it and put it back together then my dad braught it and owned it for a few years, got it up to 890 thousand ks and sold it again to another mate and is still running to this day.

I bought a 1985 FJ70 SWB in Taliban tan back in about 2005 for 4 grand. No rust, she was beautiful - wish I didn’t sell her! Anyway, I was driving down the highway one night and found the hand throttle… not being able to see what it was or what it did, I fucked around and twisted it as far as it would go… not really realising the accelerator pedal was slowly winding down lower and lower… as my exit came up I took my foot off the accelerator and panicked when the car didn’t slow even a bit! It took about 4 exits for me to figure out which way to unwind and then finally turn off my hand throttle. Super scary but hilarious once I knew I was safe!

Welcome to the 60 family Mac. This video right here is proof that random people will come up to you and tell you how cool your 60 is (the guy on the bike), how they used to own one xx years ago and they miss their old 60, how reliable they are, how getting rid of their 60 was the biggest mistake that they ever made, etc etc. I don't know if this happens with other 4WD's, but it's happens to me all time with my 60. I was once driving through outback SA in the middle of nowhere when a police car drove past in the opposite direction. A few minutes later, I looked in my rearview mirror to see the police car with their lights flashing to pull me over. I stopped and asked if everything was alright to which he replied "yeah, it's all good, I just wanted to check your 60 out" 🤣

Keep it Dad wagon spec inside with retro mods. Ie. Rear platforn and engel (old school green if you can find one on mktplc) lockers and 33s maybe a 1hz + turbo down the road if it lags behind the LN.

This thing's got huge tyres on it 35x12.50-15s with stock gearing(its a dog in my hills) and a SPOA lift. Tyres have to go.. Just scored some rims and I had 4 -32x9.50-16's from a Ford Diesel F250 i had as spares. I never thought I would be back into Yotas as there so pricey here bought this rig in Melbourne...
