Yes the inspector recommended to stamp the number under the tongue in case the sticker he put on falls off or is removed. I put two rivets to make it more secure.

I took my homemade teardrop trailer to California DMV in Ventura today and got it registered and received the plates. Since detailed information is not easy to find on the process, I’m posting it for reference. Fill out forms and take to DMV Application for Title REG 343 PTI Application form...

Swapped out the wheels and tires from white to black. I actually like the looks of both so sort of a toss up.

Yes I really like the look. They are 33x10.5. The other black wheels I replaced were 32x11.5

Back to original wheels. Before and after pics…

Set of 4 Pro Comp Wheels and 32x11.5x15 BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 tires. Lots of life left. More info on Craigslist: https://ventura.craigslist.org/pts/d/oxnard-fj60-fj40-tires-and-wheels/7620253495.html $500

I cut the pipe underneath right after the bend. Then I pushed it up with a wire. Then use a gas hose and 2 worm clamps to connect it back. First try using a wire and put a small hook on the end and try to fish it out.

From my searching, I don’t believe there were any OEM gaskets for the 60 mirrors. I made my own gaskets out of silicon rubber sheets.

Here is mine. 5x8.

Very close. This is actually off Apache Canyon Road at Nettle Springs Campground. No other people so it was nice and quiet.

Went camping in Los Padres National Forest, Lockwood Valley in California.

I’m going back to stock OEM side mirrors on my 1983 FJ60. I got the mirrors but having a hard time finding gaskets. Question - Does the OEM mirrors have gaskets? If so, where can I get some? I just cut some out of a rubber sheet in the meantime.
