Quality indeed…bought a few for my dual Optima’s many moons ago. These FJ60/62 14ga. SS baby’s are built to last way beyond your Land Cruiser’s last breath!

Absolutely incredible…job well done!

I read in a recent post about a highly qualified one man FJ repair specialist and used parts supplier in the Dallas area. His name was mentioned and came highly recommended by quite a few local owners but I failed to record his name or location…I just can’t find the post but would recognize the...

ALLRIGHT! -ALLRIGHT!…go ahead and curl-up laughing your a..es off, but after almost 38 years of ownership, it’s the only non-operating item on my bucket list and the replacement search is a death defying, mind blowing event. The entire unit is obviously NLA but used lighter units (light emitting...

Thanx, Ollie…what a great ingenious hookup! Sooner or later we all become “unhinged”! Nice job,!

At the risk of offending the site police…I’d just like to also say…”You got balls”! Well done, preplanned and thought-out frame restoration. Enjoying your pictorial rehabilitation!

Is everyone using a small, minimum application of liquid thread sealer when installing new sensors without losing the grounding contact with the housing?

A functional headlight washer is a…QUIRKY, ONE-of-a-kind, and totally UNIQUE part of the “60’s” Land Cruiser lore but certainly not in the same category as “snake blinders”. The term “usefulness” conjures up an endless debate of maintenance and repair. If only a headlight WIPER ( think...

Very, very interesting!! Birth defect or birth anomaly from Bikini Bottom?

Pretty darn cool…very nice job!

Perhaps a simple & modest hard or soft rubber o-ring or vulcanized rigid fibre flat gasket of an appropriate inner/outer diameter without impeding locking depth requirements would suffice? Any local hardware store of merit or web search should be able to supply an adequate facsimile. Could be...

Well…all I can say is “a sight to Behold” and “pretty darn COOL”!

Mike…the stock wheel and tire combination looks perfect… you certainly made the right decision in terms of aesthetics. So what size BFG-TA’s on stock 15x5.5 rims did you finally decide on and who mounted them for you? I’ve always considered using this option but remain curious when guys decide...

I’d stick with CRUISER OUTFITTERS OEM (Complete Kit Japanese style). Quite expensive (Fromt $550) but really the best. Then again, if O’Reillys have a FULL LIFETIME WARRANTY, it’s very tempting if you know their definition of “FULL”….pay your money and make your choice. I haven’t even touched...

At the risk of being labeled a “lazy bum” and if you guys possess the patience and the time, would love to see a detailed pictorial on this small but innovative install. Also, the correct OEM grab handle part number and color code.
