Hi All- the rig sold Aug 2017 after 6 weeks on the market. Thanks for the massive amount of inquiries. And yes, I built it for my tastes and the new owner wanted it this way too. Purist need not apply, but nonetheless you are welcome- your 155 HP, rusty, leaking, 8 mpg wagons are now worth more.
I have had this FJ62 for over three years and it was a "total transformative project" going beyond any FJ62 I had ever seen. Unfortunately, I have to make room in the garage, so its now time to send it on down the road for another owner to enjoy.
The truck had 146K~ miles on the clock when I...

I used a pop rivet to secure the resistor to the body after drilling a...
I had a set of led board lights from a few years ago (bought from another vendor here on MUD) in stalled prior to ordering these from 1978HJ45.
That original set had a very distinct blue-ish color (6000k-10,000k temperature range) that i disliked from the moment installed. But they where...
Please let us all know what it looks like when you get back. I too am looking for a new headliner and plan on changing the color slightly. Preferring a grey or light charcoal color versus the ivory felt.
