Since you have the template for the ''paki'' soft top can you make more and what can be the price ?
I realy like the look !This fj45 will be on ebay soon? Just let me know..LOL!
Nice work !

Now that is one awesome job markieboy1! That is the exact color that I will be going with on my rig.

Do you plan on making those tops available here on mud?

Hey Markieboy1 the soft top turned out great---to bad there isn't a diesel under the hood So are you glad that you kept it instead of selling it? Now I have some motivation to start mine.

 

[markieboy1]

Thanks Scott. Glad you feel inspired. I see you have a 130 enroute. Take a look at my garage!

Seats are installed. I think it need black carpet, or black mats instead of grey. I purchased a brand new front OEM Toyota fitted mat, but it does not fit with the FJ60FWD shifter.

I used Toyota 4Runner Front seats as they slide and fold forward allowing access to rear. Sidekick rear seats. They fold and tumble.

I used Toyota 4Runner Front seats as they slide and fold forward allowing access to rear. Sidekick rear seats. They fold and tumble.

Those are the seats I used in my troopy (though not covered in leather, sadly). They are the most comfy seats I've ever found.

Your troopy looks absolutely amazing.

Cheers,

So are you planning to sell the old soft top & the old rear soft top ambulance doors, keep as possible back ups? I have an oem troopy soft top (frame bows & top) coming from Australia, but I have only seen pics of the soft top part, so it could be in horrible shape as far as I know, so I'm still looking for a different possible replacement for it. If your going to sell yours, please keep me in the, "line" for it.
Thanks,
Abe

Keeping the doors for future. Don't have the old top any more. If someone finds out who has it, please let me know because it disappeared.

 

[markieboy1]

All thats left is exhaust, bezel, glass and the emblems. Hope to have it on the road this week.

It looks great! Nice job. Any chance that the split rims are available? I could do a quick local pick up if so. Please pm if this is possible. Thanks.
