AirTags aren't really that great, better than nothing, but the lag to update location is a thing and they alert phone users they are being tracked. Even if you hide it well and remove speaker. Not the hardest things to find. I like the Trak-4 tracker. Hardware is dirt cheap and the Subscription...

Shot OPMachine the CAD. Curious to see what he does with them. I have a Bumper from him and it's great. I originally only made 3 because they were pricey to get made. Outsourcing the machining on this part is a bit expensive. Its milled pretty much from a giant 100lb billet. They are...

If you need to plug that old port on the tank. I bought a fitting from Toyota 90402-13041 welded the end shut and installed it with some Permatex aviation #3 to seal it up. Threads here are M13x1.5.

MEKP or MEK? Ive seen MEK around. I've got some areas on the larger panels where the spray paint splattered and its left thick spots that the cleanstrip just isn't getting thru deep enough. So would like to find something to get those finals spots off easier. Door looks like this. Can get the...

Recently had my FJ40 stolen and returned. However it came back spraypainted. Been working thru removing spray paint. Here's what worked for me. To get the spraypaint removed. Brushed on Citristrip and let it sit for maybe 20 mins. (till most of the paint had reacted and orange peeled) Scraped...

Awesome to see this. I have a set from the original runs that are now yellowed and faded. I'll be in for a new pair in the updated resin.

Sorry been away from the forums for a bit. I do not have any extra wheels anymore. Had two extras and they were eventually sold and put on a pair of really nice FJ45's. The last one is on my cruiser. Being made of a solid billet made them pricey. Doubt I could even get them made for the same...

1979 has nothing there. On Diesel it was a glow plug switch

Poasthing this here for reference:

Using a Dakota Digital Box (STA-1000) plugged into the OB2 port for the Tach.

I used that tach set up for a few days. But had a few problems: It looks Tiny. Tach just feels comically small in the opening. The silver bezel may not help, but still small overall. Also the new gauge was LED and the old gauges are something else? EL? Guessing they are the past generation so...

One of the things that bugged me on this was the way the 2-5/8" Tach was installed. It was just sticking way too far forward. I wanted to replace it with something that looked better. Seems like the common choice is a 2 1/16" Tach. So I ordered a smaller one to match my current gauges. Upon...

The quality on the rear panels was so nice that I ended up ordering the center console to match. It's nice to be able to lock stuff in here and proper cup holders are great. Console bolted right up no problem there. Ill prob look for some black hardware, just to have them not stand out. I did...

Speaking of @orikawa The rear sliders leak a tiny bit and the limited rain we had here in Seattle while I've have the truck had started to make the rear panels warp a bit. I need to address the leak before the rainy season is here. Thinking I may just go back to stock and look at Gullwing...

I did the first part of the Power Door Locks Permanent Fix Added in relays to the passenger side. I did waterproof relays because why not, fit without problem in the door. Unknown Amazon option, but have used these before and haven't had any problems with them so far. Some doors don't always...
