Looks great! Where did you find the OEM Dash Pad?
I don't have an answer, but that looks great as it is. How about Diamond Clear from Eastwood to keep it from oxidizing? And.. I can only imagine your pain not having that half sandwich tray in your dash.
Found that on Partsouq. $400 after shipping to the Pacific Northwest from Dubai. Got here in two days after it shipped, too, which blew my mind.
Drum brakes suck! On another note I did the brakes on a friends Prius a couple of weeks ago and it’s the exact same design scaled down. I guess when Toyota has a good idea in the 60s they stick with it.
Did the Toyota headlight upgrade. Super simple since I had an ARB headlight harness in place. These lenses replaced a set of Bosch that were better than the stock FJ60 lights but not as good as these Kiotos or IPFs.
Had the rig down at Cape San Blas, FL for the week. Been working on it a bit here and there since December. Got the windows tinted right bf the trip. Def the longest trip since I got her. A couple leaks that I need to chase down but all in all handled the trip pretty well.

Several have been asking for this kit. 60 axles for a 40/55 and 60 series. This uses a 60 axle with 80 coils and shocks, radius arms and panhard bar. Kit includes ALL brackets to convert your front to a 60 axle and 80 series components.
As with our 80 conversion kit... this is a 1:1 ratio kit. Want a 2" lift , order a 2" lift coil, etc.
Currently ONLY offering to Trail Tailor Customs customers. 1750.00 for the front bracket kit plus install.

Toyota, Ford Dodge, Chevy etc etc. Drum brakes are super simple and aside from the ones with dual wheel cylinders they are all pretty much the same.
Sold it!

After over fifteen years of ownership, I finally did my first steering knuckle this weekend! Took most of the weekend to do the driver side - expecting the passenger side to now go a bit quicker.... to quote a friend who knew me and this rig in high school, there’s nothing like seeing new parts on an old friend...
Took the canoe out for a quick paddle. You can see smoke from the Hog fire in California hanging around.

Drilled enlarged holes in side and bottom of box frame to clear out the crud from many years of cruising, then I will mix up a custom batch of waxoyl to coat the interior of the box frame. Messy job, but must be done for the long haul.

Been a bit, but @Idaho Savage I'll just leave the IG link here and all can read the punchlist.
Enjoy your HOTROD 62 brother!

Finished the planned audio upgrades on the rig with some speakers. Went pretty low budget as mobile audio goes but ended up with a decent sounding setup. With all 5 1/4" speakers it lacks in the low end. Might play around with a separate amp and sub if it bugs me, the deck has a sub output.
The truck came with a Kenwood mid-range 1-DIN deck, I had a Kenwood compact "400W" amp installed some time ago and have just had placeholder Pyle speakers since. All the doors and floors have Cascade Audio Engineering sound dampening installed.
Focal ICU130 5.25" in the front doors & PC 130F 5.25" in the rear. Replaced some Pyle marine speakers.
The ICUs are Focal's universal integration shallow-depth speakers, but the windows still glanced the magnets on the way down. Had to shim them out with some 3/8" rigid foam rings. The fall back plan for the front speakers were tried-and-true Kicker CSC5, which for the money sounded pretty good but they had to overcome a diesel and got kind of shaggy at higher volume with the mini amp. The Focals seem to be a bit more efficient, but I wouldn't say they're double-the-money better. Picture is from before I shimmed them out. The fit fine behind stock grilles with a good 1/2" between the tweeter and grille.
The rears are in Wagon Gear panels with the factory mount bolt pattern and I didn't want to drill them, so I created some spacer rings out of PVC with both hole patterns. They're a bit boomy in the the cavernous rear quarter cavities. I'll pack some foam behind them to cut that down and keep storage items out of the back of the speakers.

What vapor barrier product are you using in the doors?
