I would love to see one that would allow a shorter shift throw. With a Tuffy console that has the radio opening and front cup holders, the H55F shifter has to be bent so far forward to clear a large cup when in 2nd and 4th gears that it's a long reach putting it into 1st 3rd and 5th gears; and I have long arms!

@ToyotaMatt you laugh but them Big Gulps take up some space!

I have a few projects in the works that im exited to release soon!
In the meantime, Is there anything that anyone wishes their fj60 had? Like a feature that would improve your driving experience? I'm always looking for new ideas!
Also, I cant believe that I've sold almost 100 radio brackets! (90 to be exact) Thank-you to everyone thats purchased one! Its really cool to have made something that was able to make an improvement on other peoples vehicles!

Any plans to print sun visor swivel mounts? Mine (FJ60) are cracked causing the sun visor to droop down when not in it's clip. Thank you!

I'd have to check to see how avalible they are. I try to make parts that are already really hard to find that many people need. Thats something I think I could manage.

Couple of those just in front of a center console in a 60 series....

I appreciate the research. It seems that FJ60/FJ62 owners have been adapting 70 series visors to their trucks.


I think the availability of the swivel mounts would be an excellent solution for keeping the original visors on the 60 series. If you do print them, I'll buy some right away. In fact, I'll put in a pre-order, if it helps :)
 
Im test 3D printing my first entire whole FJ60's. Im still working out the overheating and the oil leaks and the rusting plastic. Will report progress soon.
If you need a guinea pig truck to model oil leaks from, feel free to use mine! Mine stays cool though, so you’ll have to model that from another truck.

I would pre-order a set.

I went ahead and made a model of the sun visor clip. Its not 100% exact but pretty dang close. Printed out of my UV resistant ASA plastic ofcourse. The should be posted up tomorrow on my etsy shop.

I just re-read your post @garfieldthecat ... I made the sunvisor clips not the swivel mounts.... Back to the drawing board.
 
My bezel showed up last week while I was away babysitting my grandkids. Great work Chase! I'm really looking forward to getting it prepped, painted and installed.
 
Yes, that's it. How's it fit? Looks great in black by the way.

@garfieldthecat So far it fits good. Im going to include some internal locking star washers in the kit as they need to be bent significantly to remove the spring. The spring will need to be preserved. I'm doing some final field testing to ensure proper strength before I post these up for-sale. I actually found that my passenger side had a pretty bad crack that was spreading when I used it for a template.

These will be 3D printed out of ASA, a UV resistant, tough plastic.
