I should have insisted we just cut that floppy part of the tub off, and tube out the rear. Would have made the H55 dealio much easier, too.
It's not too late,,, and the pink panty fitting is happening!

When removing the carrier tape it is good to first make sure the letters are really burnished down and then lightly spray the masking with windex. Rub it until the paper side of the mask is damp (you do not have to soak it). Wait a minute and then slowly peel it back on itself.
Big metal tools are usually of little help.

I want that top
my softtop decided to give in to the dry AZ heat last year before Cruise Moab: cracks developed in the windows (temporarily fixed with clear packing tape
I would really like a white top in Arizona (ever since after the 2012 Cruise Moab, I have been running my bikini top) - but the cost for custom was quoted at around $1500-$1800 even with the old top as the pattern
I do care much for the FST look; I am fine with the Bestop look - so I called them today to inquire about a white or grey top; but even a 10-top potential group buy (I just made it up for the inquiry), they wouldn't budge from their "only black, we don't do custom, and any other color would custom, which we don't do"
right now, my thinking is this: I have a white bikini top (homemade
My vote is for custom top. Black top on Landcruiser looks so Heep.

Likely the wrong forum for the subtlety that was intended!

Part of the 99 hole fillup program! This tailgate has had a hard life, most of the dents came out, but is slightly twisted, will solve that when it's on the rig. Does not have rust, but like the rest of the rig, will have some "texture" so, will match perfectly!

Ran the latches in the ultrasonic, cleaned nicely, before they were stiff, now move freely. Still have a date with the sandblaster before paint.
Need to look into one of those ultrasonic shakers sound handy

Did some tire/wheel test fitting, 315's, used a spacer to simulate the FJ60 axle. It's close, hoped to run the bushwacker flares (have a new set), but maybe not, especially if the axle is moved back?
