that non skid looks like the color will match good with the color you want the rest of the rig.

Nice-It's funny, but you basically cannot get nice upholstery work in the USA, at least not for a reasonable price.

I was just looking at your pictures and all. Very interesting!
Where exactly are you in San Jose? We might come down over Semana Santa this year so it would be neat to meet up if that works for you. I might even drive the '55 down http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pi...guatemala.html.
The wheel problem you had up front is the fact you have drum brake wheels instead of disc brake wheels. See if you can find wheels that do not have the rivets inside. I can take a picture of mine if you don't quite understand.

Hi cruiser guy, yes I am from San Jose, and I am not sure if going to be here for Semana Santa, but if I am here I will be happy to meet you here, and about the issue with the wheels when I did the front disc convertions the wheels that i Have where the OEM wheels and the steering arms and the caliper that I use (1993 fj80) calipers there are a little bigger than the normal, and the wheels did not fit so my solution was move the center hub of the OEM wheels 20mm far inside and that really works, now i have plenty of space for the caliper and the steering arm, Will make some pictures to explain

The OEM drum brake wheels have rivets to hold the center and the rim, OEM disc brake wheels are welded and that small difference makes all the difference. I'll take a few pics later.

Yes, I did actually that is a FJ60 axle that I cut to the lenght of the fj55 (or FJ40 which is the same) I turn the alxe like 3 degrees positive, but what best, at least to me, is do the cuts for turn, assambly the housing in the car and set the pinion angle tac weld the spring pads, and afther that set tha caster angle to 0 degreess and tac weld the rest take the housing off the car and complete the welding on a nice table like this one

hey Victor/papá del animal
¡Se vé lindo! ¿Cuál es tu experiencia con las llantas Adventura? Son chinas, ¿no? Creo que hay un distribuidor de marca allí en Santa Cruz. ¿De que medida son?
