Yeah the 2011 70 series come with indicators on the side view mirrors . Have got more pics to follow as I'm currently trying to fab a new front bumper .
if you look at the last page of the troopie build you will see the one the owner wanted used.
it also has a wire that goes through the outside lip to keep the profile ...
i made a SS profile to follow the body to keep the rubber tight to the lip.
then you heat the rubber so it is mouldable

Another New Zealand truck, some of the guys on here would have seen this before, 1985 FJ75 flatdeck truck, I've had it about 8-9 years. It started out pretty standard when I got it with a 3F petrol engine, ARB bar and 8274 highmount with twin batteries, it didnt take before I ripped the 3F out and put a 305 chev in it then 35" simexes on it and it ran out of power so we built up a 350 chev for it but that chewed out all the bearings a year later and I put another used 350 in it but that was nackered so that when back to the place I brought it from and it sat in the shed for about a year untill we started a resto on it as it was starting to get pretty rough, other mods up untill that point were rear disc brakes using front vented rotors and subaru leone callipers with parking brakes on them, second remote brake booster on the front brake circuit, captive engine mounts as I kept torquing the engine over and twisting up engine mounts, toyota pto winch with forward/reverse pto, 50mm body lift, Old man emu springs and shocks, side bars and rock sliders, 8" beadlock rims with flipped centres making an offset of about -76, ARB air lockers front and rear and longfield 30 spline superset axles and CV's but they have since come out and gone into my FJ40
So after it sat in my shed for a year with chewed out bearings it got sent out to my mates shed for a resto and tidy up where its been for the past 18 months, everything got dismantled other than leaving the diffs in the chassis, the body was pretty rusted out and packed with years of mud although the tub and back window panel turned out to be in pretty good rust free condition other than being pretty bashed and dented, I threw out all the other panels and got a new fibreglass windscreen frame and roof and some good rust free doors and front clip and had everything sandblasted out, rust treated, repaired and repainted, the chassis got cleaned up and a few repairs made and repainted in POR15 and chassiskote, we found a 6.0 litre LQ9 injected chev which turned out to be an LQ4 and stuck that in with a twin plate clutch, the bodys back on, most of the engine is wired and connected to a re-flashed GM computer we sourced from a guy in the states
once its finished this truck will become a daily driver and tow vehicle for my other truck and wont be getting a hard time off road and bashed around any more, I cant take much of the credit for the resto and fabrication work a couple of my mates have done the panel work and new engine conversion while I've done all the labouring and dirty work and putting everything back together, my FJ40 is simular spec, 350, H55F 5 speed, 4 wheel disc brakes, PTO, ARB airlockers etc etc and I've tried to keep everything matching as much as possible between both trucks so I have easy access to borrow emergency parts if I break something hence this truck starting to get called my parts truck coz I've borrowed a few bits off it lately to keep my broken FJ40 going
A few pics of my Quad cam 4.0 V8 FJ75 project. I have just completed the cooling system using the fluid driven fan from the donor Soarer.
I have to fabricate an exhaust and then it can be wired and run....
what kind of truck did that radiator fan come from? How is the fan controlled and what powers it (the power steering pump?)
Please please, more pics of the truck inside and out....
