Nothing to sophisticated - installed a yaesu ftm400xd ham radio and a short trip to the mountains.

@TRAIL TAILOR the paint you applied cleans up nicely! :bounce: And tough as nails with tree branches brushing both sides of the rig!:clap:

I used the existing factory holes where the rear cargo hooks are located.placed plywood in place, crawled underneath the rig and used a ink pen through the holes to mark the plywood . Purchased longer M6 bolts

Rear storage platform with rubber mat top bolted to the body with refrigerator and slide.

Corbeau Sport Vinyl Seats. Only had these for a couple months , very comfortable and easy to clean up. Only complaint it the head rests sit back to far.

OEM will be stamped with TOYODA. IMO I would not trust EBAY purchase of an aftermarket steering box. Google image search shows the exact same gear box shown on EBAY as well as other vendors- meaning the image is a stock image and probably not a true representative of the item for sell.

FJ80 Power steering box upgrade. Hat Tip to @TRAIL TAILOR for the Power steering box and guidance. Scheduled an alignment to dial in toe in / out.

Confirmed - Honda door lock rod clips are the fix for the DS tailgate release.

Ordered- thanks @WSOPgold2012

Just can seemed to locate it either for the 60 series. I’m seeing a lot of these clips for Toyota Land Cruiser but not the same . The only thing I found online that resembles the clip that will allow the rod to pass through was an assortment pack from AutoZone

I will have to replace my leaky heater core in my 1988 FJ62. Did a web search , SOR has aftermarket heater cores for both the FJ60 and FJ62 ($134 each), however they have different part numbers. Also have seen where the search showed heater cores for model years 81-90 are the same part number ...

Replaced rear cargo carpet padding and started on the rear storage for the frig.
