    '72 front seat re-cover/ foam

    That came out nice man! Are you happy with the Spector material, color, craftsmanship? Also, the pink poly material you used between the foam and the springs…was that included or did you need to add? I assume that serves as a material to keep the springs from eventually eating thru the foam...

    Toyota Pewter colour match!

    Hi All! Circling back on this topic since I move slow. I thought 5208 was my choice BUT after receiving the Shimmer Gold 2062, it is soooooo….close and the winner for me. I compared my dash pieces and heater with garage light, natural light and a spot light and thought wow, that’s spot on. I...

    Pertronix install questions

    Thanks PigHead! I did notice that diameter issue on another thread and figured I'd discreetly put a sleeve or need to improvise something... Looking at Brians pic I think it looks like he may have bypassed the ballast resistor. Maybe before I dissemble my stock set up, i can check the ohms in...

    Pertronix install questions

    Oh! Nice! Should I wire direct to the positive and negative post on the coil? no bypassing the ballast or anything? If thats the case, This will be simple! (Thanks for the quick reply also:))

    Pertronix install questions

    Hi There! I don't know if i can resurrect this topic but want to dive in with similar questions. Here's my scenario... I also have a 76 with all of the OEM wiring in place including the starter and its original wiring. My rig has 10k original miles. I recently got it back on the road and wanted...

    Naw, up in Star…. Good eye! Yep, 76. I got her from the original family. All papers, booklets, window stickers. 10k miles. With a little more time, I’ll keep improving just as you’ve done with yours. Some tlc on the bumper/bumperettes is next… It’s pretty rewarding!

    Build Hi, My name is..……………….(yellow 76 FJ40)

    I’ve been a long time read, joined recently and have learned a lot since joining. This has been a cool thread to follow along. I’m also in Idaho. I’ve been tinkering on my rig slowly gettting her road worthy from sitting a bunch of years. The usual stuff, gummed up carb, seized brakes rotted...

    Toyota Pewter colour match!

    hah! You have a couple colors I took a look at as well. I’ll order your choice and have a closer look! Here’s the color I referenced on my bumper and heater that doesn’t get much sunlight and it’s pretty close. In the back of my mind, I’ve always thought, heck, anything new and fresh is...

    Toyota Pewter colour match!

    That does look spot on! Quick question by chance in all of the other swatches you tried was Prismatic "Steel Silver- PMB-5208" one of your choices? If so, was it similar? I'm going to be powder coating my bumper and a couple of other pieces very soon and your color looks great!

    33x10.50-15 tires ..... what all to choose from in 2019?

    Hey Everyone! I’m a newbie to this forum and thread. Working on an all original 76 FJ40 and doing my research. It looks like the vibe is the 33x10.5x15 BFG is slightly smaller than 33” dia. With that said, can the group chime in if the tires will rub with a bone stock suspension? I don’t want...

    Who else is buying a new or even used when available (last of the mohicans!) 2021 LC 200 series as last model year?

    I’ve wanted one of these iconic vehicles for years. Sat in a new one back in 2012. Test drove one in 2016 and FINALLY ordered one from Eric at Ed Martin. (Grey HE 3Row). I simply love each year for what it is. I am a fan of the reliable v8 and I do believe that chapter in automotive history is...
