I'm trying to find a Tuffy 023-03 center console for my FJ40. The gray one seems to be out of stock at the moment. If anyone has one available, I would love to buy it.
The rear heater pipes cleaned up well. The foam had some scuff marks after nearly 50 years so I used some heavy duty heat shrink to spruce them up a bit.
On my 09/77, the 3 point belt anchor point just moves from the hard top side to the roll bar when top is removed. It has the bigger 11mm bolt in that spot. I would assume yours does as well.
You're not far off. In my line of work I deal with allegedly smart people (engineers) making stupid decisions on various military systems. I have to be nice to them. This situation is similar in that they also do not have real world experience. We have a running joke in the office of a...

* If you were to find the parts (essentially a whole engine) the cost to import it and build it would far exceed the cost of a 15bft.
All of your ideas are terrible. Sorry if your feelings are hurt. Listen to the more experienced members here and install a direct injected engine if you want more power from your van. The idea of making a DI out of your engine is not realistic. I'm not sure how your price comparisons are...

These heater pipes were looking a little ragged, so I cleaned them in my solution and refinished the insulation with heat shrink.
I loaded up the car seats this afternoon and...

The megacruiser only has an oil pressure switch here, so I removed it and installed a new 12volt sender.
With the ACSD removed, I swapped out this block drain plug which was previously also the ACSD coolant return. The new plug also has a barb but, this one is for catching the coolant when you drain the block. I had a hard time finding this part number and even ordered the incorrect plug first...
