I will send you the secret part number you need for this ;)

@SNLC NICE, I’ll start looking.

You can still get the whole internal key set, from Toyota. Cheers

@ToyotaMatt unfortunately they are the center cut Lexus keys…with a transponder. But thank you for your generous offer. This is currently an unsolved problem… I was able to find someone with an appropriate Lexus key blank and had a copy made...

Half done. Two pull throughs on this section which makes me unhappy. It’s somewhat annoying to me that they laid this stitching out on a machine, and the variability of the stitches is pretty high. A millimeter off here or there can really...

Family history here: When I was a little kid, my dad was into collecting Case pocket knives. Being from Pennsylvania, it seemed like he had one of every model that Case ever produced. I have always loved this little pair of sewing...

Back to work on the steering wheel: Anybody want 10,000 feet of gray thread? Turns out the stuff I bought was way too thin. So much for consulting the Internet. I dropped by my local Tandy leather shop today and picked up a roll of waxed...

I forgot to mention in ad but have had a few ask in PM's, YES I am including the complete OEM shifter with this. I will get some pics posted up of it.

I’ll take the steering wheel cover assembly please

OGB speakers the truth, you need a brand new r151 for that thang.

@fl4031003 here it is. It links up to the transmission harness, I think.

Nope, I didn’t build it. I did the FST conversion and I’m adding a/c. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1989-hdj74-frp-to-fst-conversion.1274273/

@cruisermatt JINX

sure, you'll need a longer rear driveshaft

@azngarage you’ll have to change driveshafts or have existing modified, but yes. You’ll need to source a proper shifter. You can assemble them from parts.

That is HOT.

@nogo in Australia successfully reproduced a copy that worked/ran/drove/shifted, but has had machine shop difficulties with quality control. He’s still working on it.

Sold. Going to a great cruiser enthusiasts in CA. Thank you everyone for your input and questions.

I only got out to the barn for a minute but YES the subtank switch plugs in and the dash harness plugs into the main cowl harness.

Appropriate beverage for the occasion as well :beer:

@sr5pickup l will check for you. I got back from a few days away and a part of the puzzle looks like it has come together. The instrument panel harness arrived from Australia. I’ll try to hook it up and check fitment tomorrow.

I sponsored the FT sticker run a few years ago, from a graphic designer I found via Facebook. I won’t step on Matt’s toes here.

@Lo2aY like this? Not quite stock, but I got the soft top parts from Yemen.

Fresh from the powder coater! Rear brakes on. Worked on the front 3rd a bit today too. Bearings and races swapped out along with ring gear. Cheers
