Where it gets a little bumpy/squirrelly there at the bottom of the sweep on both sides is where the blade runs over the windshield rubber gasket. Im guessing a 12" blade VS the 13" currently on there would eliminate that . Maybe next time I'm in town an pass by the parts house I'll snag up a set...

Little visual for you.. I was half heartily talking about cutting the arm down 1/4" and TIG'n them back together before sticking them on and sure would be about perfect with the 13" blade..But I'm good to go with them as is and won't mess with them. Especially when didn't have any wipers prior...

Here's the part numbers..

Simple one here.. Had a bulb burnt out anyways and buddy at work had some 1157 red LED's. Had to take channel locks to the socket tighten it up abit but turn signals work like normal etc. Stupid bright over the bulbs.

The VW arms are longer then the factory FJ as well.. You'll need to order the left and right arms. It's a one number difference tween the two .

Cover it completely . I slapped a C-13 Rain X blade which is 13" as that was shortest they had in stock and it's just a hair to long. Each end rides up onto the windshield rubber at the bottom on the stroke and at the top, at rest. I could probably adjust the top out by moving over a spline or...

Thanks for the tip !! VW arms work like a charm and can't beat getting two arms for $18, that accept conventional c clip blades !! *edit Part numbers, year/model VW few post down.

one more off the checklist.. Posted pix earlier of my wiper motor that disassembled full of 46yr old tar like grease. Sandpapered points, cleaned , regreased , cut, drilled and tapped on wiper arm post to take a screw as it was blow'd out.. Took a chance on 1970 VW Beetle wiper arms 2 arms@$18...

s***can'd P.O's speaker "boards" an slapped these wakeboard speakers in that I've had laying around for last 5 years..TON better.. Fall/Winter is looming so figured might as well get drop the Mojave and zip tie on some defrost hose.

Bolted em on.. This weekend since have everything for the power steering minus the belt ( has Saginaw 3 bolt manual box currently) going to degrease and paint everything and see about tossing it on.

Slapped the race lines an Trepadors together today. Ready whip the FJ in an toss em on.. Went together like a dream come true. No tire spoons , just little soapy water and couple knee presses.

Like Xmas daily for the FJ lately.. 17" Race Line bead locks

The new pizza cutters showed up today. 40x13.5-17 Maxxis Trepadors. Will be slapped on some RaceLine beadlocks. Which should be on the stoop any day now. Over course a couple days at 10-15 mins here and there..Completely dissassemble the windshield wiper motor. Cleaned out the 46yr old tar like...

Thanks boss ! It's one those things I wonder why I waited so long to check off the "to do" list. They've been in the shed for about 6 months and kept putting them off. Recline, sliders, adjustable side bolsters, butt/seat cushion height adjusts. $47 for both. Actually I think they came out of a...

Yanked the crappy plastic seats out the P.O installed, and slapped in some smart car/Prius seats from the local pick and pull. Million times better.
