Had a few minutes this morning, programmed my "real" mileage, per the above instructions...very easy. Went from 70 miles to 248K 🤣
Also filled up the tank, so I was able to calibrate the fuel gauge. I did actually add the Tanks Inc floatless sender...so I used the pre-programmed setting...
I believe you can have your current mileage pre-programmed by Speed Hut, @FJ60Cam?
Adding my electrical wizard @gnintz for some details on install.
Re: calibration, still playing with the fuel gauge. More to come there!
Installed my new Speedhut gauges, courtesy of @FJ60Cam - love how they came out. I prefer the vintage look of the 60's cluster, so this was perfect. I went with the GPS speedo and so far, so good. The placed the receiver on the very front of the dash. Also went with the floatless fuel...
Installed the Brown carpet in my 1988 FJ62 - looks amazing! Installed by myself (zero previous experience) over 1 weekend. Front section took the majority of the time, center and rear were very easy. Thanks @dnp
@sschruff Did you ever land on a color? I'm thinking about Anvil for my '88 - I was inspired by this Icon build from last year:
I also found a guy in Japan who used Anvil for his 60:

Both of these look awesome - hoping to do this...
The Weekend Chief didn't come with a tool set/jack tools. Aside from the bragging rights of owning an original tool set, the lack of tools also made lowering/removing the spare very annoying. PS - Bragging rights are ALWAYS more important....form over function over here!
Finding jack tools at...
Looks great!
I can't take credit for the visor mod, big thanks to @Beams37 and this Sun Visors thread!
Here's mine! Took less than 10 mins - very easy mod!
Thanks @Skniper !
Agreed - we were definitely stumped by the hole and I couldn't really find similar stories on here. We found the hole during a coolant flush - suspected it dislodged years of dirt, oil, and rust etc. that may have been holding the hole together. The POs didn't seem to ever...
Picked up a 2021 Trail Edition in Army Green over the weekend - love how tough this thing looks.
Also, looks good next to his geriatric friend (FJ62 Build Thread).
The Weekend Chief only came with one mud flap - minor issue but these things drive me nuts! As most of you know, it's near impossible to find replacement mud flaps. I've been relentlessly trying to track one down - I've lost out on eBay a few different times. The prices have been outrageous -...
Day off boredom - created a logo for the truck based off this Long Island Rail Road logo from the 1960s - not exactly PC these days, but really interesting. Non-COVID days I spend 4 hours a day on the LIRR, commuting to NYC from Eastern LI.
Branding and logos REALLY get me going. Stickers...
On the exterior: late night internet rabbit hole boredom and research + impatience on a paint job, led for some lipstick on a pig upgrades.
I installed @trailtailor vents in the rear and fender. Love getting rid of plastic when I can.
I also installed the Icon 4x4 side view mirrors – love the...
