Poppy's new bumpers are coming along as I have time. I know I said no more 60 production bumpers, but these may come to market....

Plus I have one of my South Africa vendors that wants 25 of each.

I usually link my new items appropriately... HA! I've spent the last 2 months going back and forth with Frans in Capetown and the design has morphed quite a bit from the original thoughts.

If I decide to release them, I will share Poppy's prior, but not until.

I thought about just a standard rear bumper for Poppy like I just built for @Jaric00n, but decided I wanted a little more.

Here is T's rear.

Shewwwwww those welds are pretty. Nice work!

Since the wrong tires were sent, I had them refund my order. Just had a bad feeling after that mix up.

So now I'm looking at the SCS Stealth 6 rims. 16 x 8 w/ 3.5" BS. They will have to machine off 2mm of the center bore. I know @Major Nelson has the SCS F5 on his rig. How do you like them K?

But I'm thinking the Stealth 6 may be my next buy for Poppy in gunmetal matte. Andrea says NO! but she hates aftermarket wheels... So even if they looked great she'd make the FACE!

Nice looking wheel (IMO) and opens up a better tire offering too.



J, love the F5's...haven't regretted them for one min (plus happy to go to 16's). I personally felt only the 5's looked right on the FJ60....but as they say opinions are like @$$holes....we all have them and they all stink.

Fuel door release and rear 3-point belts are a nice upgrade. Do you plan on adding rear head rests? I had my local upholstery shop switch the fabric from my '86 FJ60 to my '89 FJ62 rear seat back, turned out great. For the fuel door, there's a spring clip that pops the fuel door out when the latch is released, less than $3: 77366-12010

I have a couple of 62 seat backs w/headrests. I will more than likely add the headrests. But 95% of the time its just me and Andrea. So, not sure why I'm really doing this mod..... Just in case someone needs a ride I guess........

Just hope it's not the guy from the old Twilight Zone Episode "The Hitch-Hiker".

Think they only came on the 62 but were something that could be swapped over to the 60.. is that right J (@reevesci)

Here's some '89 FJ62 removal photos before the installation into my '86 FJ60:

The cable runs across the floor, attached under folding tabs, behind the stiffener at the front of the front seat frames.
