Looking good. Is that a leather steering wheel cover? Where'd you find it?

 

[SSCR]

Thanks. ..
Bought it on Amazon. I like the old school look and feel. The steering wheel wasn't perfect so it's an upgrade.

I have put the same leather steering wheel covers on both my cruisers and love them. Definite improvement over the thin stock wheel.

The truck looks great. Keep up the good work!

Yep. Waiting for a set to show up. Also waiting on the side mirrors.
2.5" unknown lift, running 31 x 10.50 x 15.

Those are original to the doors and unobtainium. These are in fair shape and still usable. Otherwise you would have to make your own.
Maybe someone is making them?

 

[antFJ]

nice! Yeah - dave at genesis4x4 gets them made. I think he was having trouble with the current batch... I waited over 3 months for my gaskets and he ended up giving me my money back while he waits for them to arrive.

I just had to stop by and say hi after seeing the BaT post on this rig.

I miss use guise.

Some day I'll get another FJ and restore it identically to this one. Always been my favorite original color.

beautiful build, really nice work man, have you found a source for the stock acorn nuts that go on the wiper blades? I have one but need a 2nd.

Those are very hard to find. I do have one but went with a set of stainless steel ones instead.
Thanks for the compliments.

Yes, I enquired about a set but was told they may be months away from getting a set made. So I'm going with the original ones. They are in fair shape and should last a good while before being replaced. Again, unobtainium for the most part.
