2 years on and a bit of time and effort she looked like this. Just before she was replaced 2 years ago for my current 80 series
What bar is this off? 80 series?

Mate its a The Dakar deluxe winch bar for the 60. It has adjustable mounting heights to suit HJ/FJ60 from standard to 2" body lift........And Hj61/FJ62 from standard to 2" body lift. Only thing is if you fit it to a standard 61/62 it will cover the stock factory indicators...... Im not sure if they have changed that but mine had a 2" body lift and the bar was on the lowest holes. Beautiful bar.........by far my favorite. It fitted my 240 XGT's without any mods

aaaah ok. I've got an old-school ARB winch bar for mine and its slightly different to your old one. Time for an upgrade I think! The centre upright on mine are a lot closer together, and its a tight squeeze for spotties.
Cheers

Mine as it sits today with the new rims. Not quite up to vSAHARAx's level, but slowly upgrading.....
Sorry, but I really like this pic of the new rims.....

Yep, in my opinion all 60's should be wearing that bar. Gives it a nice shape at the front.

very straight NQcalais! been resprayed or just in good nick? Time for some new springs by the look of it lol

Mate, it's just in good nick. I paid $4K for it 12 months ago off a farm worker's wife in Dalby. Only 2 owners previous to me. There may have been a slight respray on the gutters after rustproofing, but otherwise it is clean and straight.
As for the springs, they are the next major purchase to be built into the budget.
Picture this with white sunnies, and that's how I bought it....

Nice rig Jason, beige rocks!!! Jealous of that 12HT though....
I had that same decal on my 75 Series ute years ago. Never got around to taking it off, and it did make it a fraction easier to identify my ute out in a carpark full of white 75 utes.....
