They fit you like a glove, I feel like I could drive all day in them and still be comfortable. Made the driving position just right.

planemech · 06-30-08, 08:57 PM

Those are some sexy seats fella.
Where did you get them from?
Rig looks great.

FZJ80ismybaby · 07-01-08, 06:58 AM

i got mine from iron pig off road, but you can look them up on google, the company that makes them is Scat, you cant go wrong

smkymntn · 07-01-08, 09:19 AM

x2 for iron pig offroad.

Wile E Coyote · 07-02-08, 12:18 AM

Good lookin cruiser you're buildin. Eleventy-billionth vote on a full de-chrome.

smkymntn · 07-27-08, 05:47 PM

Here are a few of the most recent pics

Got it home and got to work cleaning undercarriage.

Din gauges

Should have went stock - it gets in the way of stock guages- didnt realize until after I already bought it

GLTHFJ60 · 07-27-08, 06:04 PM

GRRRR. That is beautiful.

Where'd you get the HJ60 mirrors?

smkymntn · 07-27-08, 06:22 PM

They are SOR knockoffs- I may have to replace with aussie or 62;s eventually

Do they vibrate at speed or something? They look pretty good as is.

smkymntn · 07-27-08, 06:59 PM

yeah - passengar is really bad- almost useless. driver is only slighlty better.

Joe_E · 07-27-08, 08:42 PM

Man , that rig is looking fantastical.

jp_waltz · 07-27-08, 09:26 PM

WOW!!!!!! very very nice rig. the body looks perfect.

Trapper50cal · 07-28-08, 10:02 AM

Never thought of that! What a nice bonus!
Maybe sometimes read it in a Stewie voice too

bergerob · 09-11-08, 07:43 AM

Smkymtn,
You have one of the best looking rigs on here.
You have just described everything I want to do to my 87.
Where did you get your 5-speed?

smkymntn · 09-11-08, 10:17 AM

Tranny was from cruiserparts 1995.00 delivered. My advice is get the 5 speed shifter when you get it- thanks for the compliments- I am having to get an alarm installed as someone in asheville thought is was real nice too and tried to steal it.

IndianDoc · 09-11-08, 11:55 AM

Shotgun and pit bull time.

Watch out for your baby. Luck with putting in the alarm. Hope it automatically causes grieff for the thief, as well as keeps the rig safe. LOL

bergerob · 09-11-08, 12:19 PM

How about a top secret kill switch?

smkymntn · 09-11-08, 01:43 PM

I am doing both- I was pretty freaked out after that. I am real careful now about where I leave it. Its a damn shame- I dont think any self respecting cruiserfan would try to take it, so I am thinking kids looking for a joyride or stereo- The tuffy box is a great stereo saver, I give it all thumbs up. If you want to keep your shit safe get one. I think they saw there was no stereo and left- even though it is in the tuffy. The fron speakers are hidden behind stock grills.

Trapper50cal · 09-14-08, 11:49 AM

get a lo-jack

that way it gets retrieved and guys get arrested

TLCAddict · 09-15-08, 12:24 AM

nice rig smky...time for some added protection - kill switch, lo-jack, the club, 357 magnum, ball python on the front seat

on another note: what was your paint process for de-chroming the windshield frame & rain gutters? love the black! I have a white FJ62, so I'm going for the absolutely, no chrome look, including the chrome strips down below the doors. btw, did you remove yours or paint it black too? can't tell in the pics.

90FJ62 · 09-15-08, 05:17 AM

He removed them and had the holes filled before he painted the truck. Its in his other thread i think.

Dave

90FJ62 · 09-15-08, 05:19 AM

Smkymntn
You may want to also look into a shifter lock. I saw them in another thread. could mount to the front of your tuffy and then lock the truck in gear. Just a nother added security measure.

Dave

smkymntn · 09-15-08, 08:02 AM

not a bad idea- lojack is pricey- I think they were just after stereo stuff, but I am getting alarm done this week and will look at kill switches, removing wires, pitt bulls- never leaving the car.

fusionworks1 · 09-22-08, 10:38 PM

Where did you get the steering wheels and shocks

smkymntn · 09-23-08, 04:30 AM

steering wheel is a lecarra- suspension is OME heavy
