Thats to Tarek Barakat my good friend who found this undisturbed FJ and was curious so he took the photos. It turned out its a FJ43 with no soft top or doors. Could be Post 75 from the square bezels. But the Toyota script on the grill looks older.
Bezel and steering wheel put it in that 79/80 model for me. Did you use something else? Always trying to see if there were other changes I missed.
No windshield washer nozzle in the top of the windshield

Yes, the fuel tank went under the tub in 1/'79
The 81 model besides the steering wheel it also started the split transfer case and two piece steering shaft.
You can't see that in the picture......

Some yes, some no and some I'm not sure. rear heater/ console (only models with rear heater), glove box door, springs, wheels all yes.
The pin switch on dome light was a 82 model change. That is if your talking about the H/O/A switch on the light and the two switches on the A pillar. More than one light? I sure know they could use more than one.
A/C and Power steering started with the 79 model.
Center panel in dash was a 83 model change.
Radiator changed in 79 (the reason there is no place to mount the pillow block bearing for the PTO. Did it cahnge again in 81?
Jump seat design changed to the folding leg in 78 stiil black. It seems the 79 seats I have are not padded as heavy as the 78 seats I have but not sure if they aren't just worn more but did switched to grey. I didn't realize they changed again.
77 and later spare tire carriers, I know have two different design hinges in my collection. But to be honest I have no idea of when they changed.
I have only seen a picture of the cover of the license plate light wire cover and again have no idea of when it started. But I would love to find one.
78 the seat belts moved to the roll bar at the bottom, 79 color changed from black to grey after I didn't know of any changes.
Carb, alt, voltage regulator and choke everything that happen once the 2F started I really haven't tried to research.
Head light buckets again I didn't realized they changed again after the 79 change.
I would love to see a picture of the handle above the passenger's head. I have never seen one. Was this a US market thing?
Not trying to get in a pissing match, just a honest quest for information
