you could check with RK's parts warehouse.....he has tons of stuff laying around and he's real easy to work with. He works alot though so don't expect a quick response.

Only mods are DeMello sliders but have a DeMello front bumper being built and OME 3" lift coming. Hope to get out with you guys sometime...

Finally got the OME lift and Demello front bumper installed. Still waiting for the winch to go in the bumper but couldn't wait any longer to install the bumper. Jason did a great job with the design and workmanship. It was well worth the wait.

I have been craving to get it out but I'm working every weekend through Thanksgiving. The only chance I have is next weekend, hoping to get at least a day at Uwharrie.

Is the person who built the bumper and sliders local to Cary? I need slider steps for my 99 100 series and the slee sliders are just a bit much at $835 plus 125 shipping.
That is an awesome looking FJ.
Thanks again,
uzj100

Thanks...No, Demello Off-Road is in CA. Since I couldn't find anything local, I took a chance on Demello on the recommendation of many Toyota off-roaders. I'm very pleased with the choice. Their welds are tight and solid and everything has fit perfectly on my FJ. The downside is buying something only seen on a web page and paying for shipping. Otherwise, good stuff. My sliders were $400 and the bumper was $800.

Nice 80.
Is your dd a twin turbo?
What are the details on the 62 for sale - mileage, condition, price?

Nope, NA... Note the lack of intercooler ducts in the lower bumper!
The 62 has 202K, NO RUST, lots of pics here.
Got a couple guys seriously looking at it already so won't post on mud 'for sale' for another week or so...

Good looking 62, you shouldn't have any problems selling it.
Yeah, I wouldn't have known about the lower bumper and ducts on the TT; my buddy who had one was always too far in the rear view to notice they were there.
Cruisers are great that way, speeding tickets and insurance costs are WAY down.

Last weekend we had to take down a tree for Eric's mom. Afterwards, we just could not resist the urge to play a little. We had to use the 40 to steady the tree while cutting since it was about 40 ft tall so we thought it deserved a break.

That is one of the best looking 80s I have ever seen. Great looking wheel/tire combo.

bezel
no trouble at all. when you look at the bezel, one side is wider than the other. the wide portion goes on top. at least that is the popular opinion.  And remember, we are all new at some point. I made many, many mistakes while learning. It's all part of the process.

And if you are new like I was to all this Cruiser stuff. The Bezel is the piece that goes around the head lights. In your case it is Black. Ours is Grey, they come in a variety of colors. Oh, and they also come in different shapes Yours is oval and ours is rectangular.
P.S.
Erymer thought I should mention; I'm his wife..
