Price Drop before I put the top up in the rafters for a later time 3k.

on the non troopy 7x models all rear doors have the bracing for the spare tire carrier by default , only the troopies had the spare underneath in some cases

So here are my 2 cents . The truck came from the Netherlands originally and that top part is glued on top of the oem top . I have thrown several of these on the dump already . No idea why the guy has a Belgian license plate surround on the front...

couple of thing... Custom snorkel and installing the electrical on the EATON F/R lockers. I replaced the bulky, messy wiring with a 3 relay block (2 will serve the lockers and 1 the lights) and adding the OEM switches with potted connected...

I have 3 more lhd 7x ac kits available . 2 kits for 1HZ/HDT engines and 1 for the 1KZ engine models . These are the last ones available as my supplier did a hefty price increase and the tariffs top it off to make these to expensive to import ...

Bump , I will be around the shop for the next 2 weeks before heading out for another month again .

Installed my used I got carpet to replace my torn rubber / plastic floors. Much more refined now😂

I have some unused transmissions I have seemed to collect the past few years. I have two H151 transmissions with transfer cases rom HDJ81 or HDJ101s Bellhousing is for 1HZ/1HDT/1HDFT, 1HDFTE etc Includes transmission and Tcase shifters - also...

Greetings, I have two wide nose 70/79 series snorkels for sale. Though they are wide nose specific, some folks in this forum have installed these on 40’s, 55’s, 60’s and other cruisers. Asking $100 each. Also have all the interior trim pieces...

I loved looking in my rearview mirror only to see @Beastiethe70 “Hmmm, that kinda looks like a really narrow truck. Is it a 70 series?” “ Yes, that’s totally a 70… Wait, it’s silver, is that Maggie?!?!?” “YASSSSSSSSS!!!!”

hey @Beastiethe70 ! great to meet you in line up before the photo!!! so many cool 70 series. Of course, I could repeat the glowing descriptions of this area, the awesome people, the chill welcoming vibe...it was just plain great!!!! I gotta...

made it to ft morgan tonight. stopped off in denver for this: and this: looking forwards to a long shower, a soft bed, and a bathroom to poop in without the whole campground listening in. 8^) i jest. it's all part of the adventure right...

had a great time at SAS. wouldn't have made it if it weren't for @OlYellr. much gratitude. ok, some sleep would be good. --r

I see my old FJ73 there.....

Having a blast at Solid Axle Summit with some good friends , I do need to figure out where to send my invoice to for fumigating the mountains around Ouray 🤣

Also, I lost one of my nuts along the way. Don’t read into that. A replacement 94184-61001 is on the way.

I finally got an M10 nutsert mandrel, and put a couple of anchors into the B pillar. My moderately redneck tape measure and blue tape measurements were within a 16th of an inch either side. With a new set of rollbar pads from @joekatana we are...

Swap a 1HZ in it , you can get every part to make it look like it was always in there

These VM engines are horrible , don’t waste time or money trying to fix them but decide which engine you will replace it with instead .

And here we are in 2025. This truck lives outside and the soft top has taken a beating from the Texas sun. The vinyl windows have clouded and I’ve got a tear in the passenger side flap. It’s still my favorite thing I’ve ever done to a cruiser.

I absolutely love this thread — it’s a perfect challenge for my project! Hope it’s okay if I chime in with a small addition. Strangely enough, the roll bar was never offered for soft top models, so there are no factory nuts on the B-pillar for...

I have both of those
