Congrats on the 100. I too have owned FJ40's since 1979 and still have my '77 total frame off restoration I drive regularly but absolutely love my '07 100. Looks like you are doing a fine job on base lining your 100.
I drove from Paris, TX to Sabine Pass. LA/TX Every two weeks (about10 hours each way) to fly a helicopter offshore for well over a year and a half. Bone stock '78 winter and summer with deep south humidity. Never had any problems and the comfort level was okay for me. Still have my '77...
If I get the awning room as I plan to do, then I need the 2500? I like the clean look of the 2000 but want a good fitting room for the grandkids to sleep in.

I have a 12-76 California originally purchased in CA in the spring of '77 and I rebuilt it per the drawings above. Not sure a photo will add anything to the above illustrations. Good luck!
