I had my '74 detailed by Brian at Unfilthify UNFILTHIFY Detailing + Protection - https://share.google/9xkpcnarmIHlPfkN1

Yes, I really like the kickout windows, on mine, the closer brushes against my rollbar, a tight fit. A hatch would be nice, my upper doors have a mind of their own on a slope or in the wind!

Oops sorry, yes it's a strap type.

Food for thought, thanks. Here's the process to open all four doors, you get good at it!: 1. Swing the spare out. 2. Pull down the lever, open the top right. 3. Reach in, pull up the lever, open the upper left. 4. Unhook and swing out the lower left. 5. Reach in, lift the little barrel bolt and...

Niiice!

I never gave any thought (or forgot!) that my Nov. '74 FJ wasn't a 100% '74 until Gary @Mudrak pointed out that my roof was not original. He pointed out that the pop-out side vents didn't show up until later (08/76 I believe). Also the upper two doors should be a single lift door. So I figured...

I picked up my '74 from @Mudrak who did a great job transforming it into a reliable capable cruiser. I had already installed a header, power steering and disc brakes, and now the upgrade from a weber carb to efi is worth every penny. It now rides 2" higher than before thanks to the new...

Not what I've done, but what Gary and crew at @Mudrak has done. I got my '74 in the queue about 20 months ago, but it was worth the wait. I went to his shop in Napa this morning for a test ride and a meet up. He's almost done with the work I asked for, sniper, 2" lift, gaskets, a bunch of other...

#963 1974, disc brakes, power steering, town cruiser.

Installed this super bright led festoon light as the dome light replacement. It's easily twice as bright as the OEM bulb.

I've always wanted to see this, maybe next time. Have fun. The Racetrack
