Thanks man! They admitted this would be a loss for them but wanted to make it right, so definitely some respect for the dealership there. I'm happy with the rebate for sure, glad this is all behind me and also thinking -- I guess it's better the dealer took the loss now vs me getting a clean...

Just an update here! Thank you all again for the guidance and advice. Unfortunately the dealer was unable to get the title cleared and could only get a rebuilt title, SCDMV would not budge. While I was waiting for this, I did scout the classifieds, marketplace and some FB groups for comparable...

OP again - Thanks to everyone for the sincere feedback and advice here. I read every single one and really do appreciate the knowledge and value this community provides. When I was initially looking for the FJ and found this one, I have to admit that I was not and am currently not an FJ expert...

Nope, if you check out my build thread, there’s screenshots in there. Just want to keep this thread on topic.

Sorry I should say that when it was restored, they put a <‘71 body on it. The frame and engine are confirmed from a ‘78

So I wanted to get y’all’s opinion here. A little background: I bought a fully restored ‘78 FJ from a dealership here in South Carolina in cash about 2 months ago for about $30K. The dealership called because they’ve been trying to transfer the clean SC title over to me over the last 2...

Man I’d love to see a pic of this up close if you’ve got a chance. Currently in the process of figuring out the bracket situation in mine.

I know this is an old thread but see that you have a ‘69. I assume you did the bucket seat conversion? If so, how did you mount your console?

Hey man, I know this is an old post but did you end up mounting your console to the bench seat frame as well?

Hey man, finally got those Corbeaus and I'm looking to get the same brackets fabricated here. It might be a long shot but would you happen to have the measurements for the passenger side? what kind of metal did you end up using for this?

Gotcha, thanks! If you’ve got a sec, I’d love to see a pic of how it attaches.

Thanks! I think I’m going to end up copying your bracket design for the passenger side. Another question for you… Did you end up installing a center console between the seats? Trying to find a way to mount a Tuffy to a ‘71 body since they don’t make standard brackets for it. TIA

Looks great man! Thanks for the measurements. I’m running a 71 body on a 78 so I think I may have to get creative here. I just ordered my Corbeau Sport seats off of Summit since they were in stock (gets here in 2 days!) and brackets from Corbeau directly. Did you end up going with full black...

Oh also meant to ask - how’s the clearance between your knees and the steering wheel on the drivers side? I know some folks have some issues with it being so close.

Thanks man! Keep us posted. Sidenote: with this frame, were you able to mount a Tuffy console without any additional brackets from Tuffy?
