sofj45 replied to the thread Bandi 4 door pickup.Today was front axle day, knew when I bought it one hub was broken. Well one hub was broken as in had a plastic cap covering the end and all the guts missing which means that the axle just floated around inside and destroyed all the splines. No... -

That’s a nice looking rig. I’m not that familiar with Brandi’s, so please pardon my ignorance, can you replace the bezel with a standard LC bezel? Also you might consider naming it “The Great Pumpkin”. 🤷🏻♂️

sofj45 replied to the thread Bandi 4 door pickup.Yeah the kick vents are there you just can't see them on the outside. But all good on the inside just skim coat the hole side and call it good. I knew the hood was garbage and didn't care as it was getting replaced with a early split hood...

sofj45 replied to the thread Bandi 4 door pickup.Not sure who did the conversion, I passed on probably 20 of these before purchasing this one. been looking for about 3 years. Here's what I can say, it's a south American rig. Positives are.. 1 I like the look of it. 2 it started (motor sounds...

Went for a drive today, no pics - too boring 🥱 - but first drive with closed windows and the heater on - it was 25-deg F outside! Nice and toasty after the rig warmed up, and I can’t hear my tailgate rattle now 👏. Thanks @Racer65 and @Ndisgyz...

sofj45 replied to the thread For Sale SWB Fixed Cab Rear Split Window Rubber Extrusion Group Buy.I'll take a lock with me like I said this coming week and see what I can come up with from a buddy with a fab shop.

Just thinking out loud on that marine sliding door lock @sofj45, it or the install wouldn’t be OEM-like for sure. If used without modifying (aka bending like you suggested) it would have to be mounted further to the side than the original(s) so...

sofj45 replied to the thread For Sale SWB Fixed Cab Rear Split Window Rubber Extrusion Group Buy.If anyone out there wants to recreate the factory lock I will forfeit one of mine to be replicated. Don't think it would be all that hard but beyond my skills of making it look oem, I'll take one with me this next week when I head to Oregon and...

sofj45 replied to the thread For Sale SWB Fixed Cab Rear Split Window Rubber Extrusion Group Buy.@middlecalf I believe you would have to put a bend in the tab with the rubber on it as you would need to mount the hinge section lower on the frame than what that would allow by the look, the factory ones mount down below the rubber and then...

Anything other than those tincup masters on this rig isn’t an upgrade 😝. yeah, I know….

It’s yours and you can do whatever you want to it. Personally, I prefer the earlier 45’s over later models.

I rather have a solid base I can build upon versus getting something that appears to be good. Like many here I work on my cars and that makes you realize how many corners can be cut if one wanted to. I don’t mean to bash on others, and don’t want...

sofj45 replied to the thread Question for the group '67 FJ45 LWB.Earlier models are better built in my opinion and cleaner more classic lines. It's your truck build what you want cause your the one who is going to be driving it. Not a fan of square bezels and outside bump wiper motors, lift up door handles...

The edges are rounded a bit. He's made sliders before for other old US brand restos but each one is unique so it's always a crap shoot unless they're doing the whole install and can check fit, pull, redo, etc.
-
sofj45 replied to the thread For Sale SWB Fixed Cab Rear Split Window Rubber Extrusion Group Buy.@middlecalf did they ease the edges at all on the slider piece? To where it's not just a square cut edge to help with the smoothness of sliding. Here's some photos of the locks., Haveing trouble getting photos to load will try again or send you...
