One of my biggest pet peeves is that North America got such a *lame* selection of colors in the 60 series. They're more suited for a minivan than a real 4x4! Check these out, wouldn't it be *much* nicer to have colors like these???

Here's another one. I apologize for the poor quality.

One more. Not a 60 series, but a 70 series of the same vintage.

One more...another 70 series, stock color.

I was thinking of painting my 60 irange but that yellow 60 looks great.:D Several people had suggested yellow here and I :barf: but the application looks good. Hmmmm Earl Scheib has a taxicab yellow color and for...

Holy exo, Batman:eek: :eek:

:D :D

I like yellow 60's a LOT, I wanted to paint mine AA Yellow (LR D90 color) but my wife vetoed. At the time she was paying for the paint job, so there wasn't much arguing...

Orange is really cool, too. Anything but the blah gray (like mine used to be), silver. I guess I just don't like metallic paints much...

ya they sure do like their exos over there!:eek:

--- i like the yellow too. very sweet! i get sik of only seeing brown and more brown fj60 series'. i cant think of one 60 ive seen around town besides jeffs white one...thats not brown! we need some crazy 60s man!:rasta:

At the time I painted mine white, it was the logical choice (living in AZ at the time), but I sort of regret it, it looks bland, and there are TOO many big white 60's -Tom Boyd, Tim Coffey, Brian Sullivan, Bill Love, Patman's (RIP), that big diesel one from Norcal (forgot the owner's name), mine, and I'm sure I'm missing half a dozen others...

Next time it's going to be yellow or orange, or a cool green.

when i painted my cruiser blue...i made a paintshop drawing first to see how it would look...and since we are on the subject of painting stuff...your gonna laugh.....:rasta:

I did that with a 40 I saw on eBay last summer to see if the colors I was thinking about would look alright!!:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Careful Dustin--I hear Wolly Mammoths can be real mean when teased:D :D LOL, I know the two of you have a special relationship.

hey wtf is that supposed to meen?!:rolleyes: makes it sound :rainbow: ! lol:flipoff2: :rasta:

is that a factory 70 series snorkel fitted to a 60?

its definitely the factory (rubbish) snorkel they put on looks ok, just its a 2 piece snorkel and doesnt seal real well and is renowned for cracking and letting water in, thereby becoming useless

:idea:
But we do come in Blue.

Aww, his doesn't count. That POS isn't even on the road! :flipoff2:

Hiya Timbo! :D

I think im going with the same TYPE of paint job as dustin--except my blue will be sharper :D, and my orange will be brighter.

whadda ya think?

You wouldn't happen to have some more pics of that yellow or any other yellow 60s would you? Thanks as always for some cool pics.:D Hey is that an OzzFest sticker on the back of the yellow 60?

theres a yellow 60 cruising (get it) around here. its got black acc. like roof rack ARB bar rear bumper with ladder, but i dont think it spends much time off road, looks way to clean.

Ok, we pretty much got this color... one of my personal favorite colors for FJ60s.

<img src="http://www.nwcruisers.com/rigs/ken1.jpg">

Here's another yellow FJ62. I got tons of pictures, the biggest problem is having to convert them to less than 60 kb for view here, so bear with me.

Here's one that has a coil suspension conversion in the rear. I'm pretty sure it's an 80 series axle swap.

I have realy thought about Orange for my wagon but i was never much or normal colors
I was looking into doing that orangeish bronze color that chysler and ford has on the trucks and sport utes
how do you guys think that would look??

---enough said :rasta:

You mean something like this???

That's it I'm moving to Venezuela.;) Is there somewhere here I can get one of those roof racks?:)

So what are the names of those roof racks again?

Most of those are INTI racks. INTI is one of Venezuela's foremost expedition outfitters, but they don't do overseas shipping, and their service is positively Third World style.

It's too bad, they are, IMNSHO, the best possible roof rack you can buy for a Toyota Land Cruiser anywhere in the world.

Where would I be able to find them in Venezuela? Is this a compnay that distributes them or they manufacture them? Thanks for the info BTW.:)

INTI is located in Caracas, specifically in Boleita, on the northern part of the city at the foot of the Avila mountain, towards the west end of the COTA MIL. I can get you a phone number and an address, but the *only* way to get an INTI roof rack is to buy it yourself RIGHT THERE, or getting yourself a really reliable contact in Caracas who can go pick one up, take it apart for you (they only sell them as complete units, but taking them apart is a cinch), then bundle it up. They pack into two big bundles and a small box and you can actually bring them with you as luggage, my dad did that with mine, but he was NOT happy about it! :)

How's the political climate there as far as Americans are concerned? Oh yeah and what do they cost?

thanks 60seriesguy
but i was thinking a little more orange
i will try to find the color i want on the net tonight

i hate that it is a Heep color but i like it
what you guys think??

But the US colors can be brightened up a bit. I found some vinyl US flag flames I'd love to put down the side but since it is getting painted this summer that is out of the question.

Here's what color it is going to be, hopefully in July. I'm thinking about retaining the flag on the hood.

Thanks Ken for putting up the photos for me.

look so friggin metalic... more bright and orange... like the
yellow above ^^^....
