I heated the glass and metal up with a heat gun to release the hot glue holding the glass, twisted the s clockwise and counterclockwise until it came free, then peeled the metal lip holding the glass back as much as I dared and stuck a pointy tool under the mirror and slowly...
New shoes last night.
Have some opportunities with passenger side rear cylinders.
Rusted and had to adjust with a hammer. Eventually got moving, but not great.
Lots of gunk, rust and dark brown fluid came out when bleeding.
Ordering new. Should arrive Wednesday.
Drivers rear looked about...
Then was able to add new door seals the PO had purchased.
They went on great and fit exactly as they should.
Used 3M 8001 adhesive and had no issues. well except maybe one part got a little sloppy.
But for all the issues I’ve read about, fortunately I didn’t have any.
Did all doors except the...
Added a few more touches to the FJ over the last couple weekends.
Hexagon sound deadener for the firewall.
Thought is would look a bit more interesting than it actually turned out to be.
Also the glue on the back of them wasn’t as strong as it needs to be.
3M super 90 helped out.
I’m...

I used Klean Strip metal and concrete etch.
Rust Reformer is the rattle can from Rustoleum.
For interior sealer I’ve used Titebond aluminum gutter and seam sealer.
Was able to work on the driver rear wheel well this weekend.
This side was in much worse shape than the other.
Found the paint scraper to be the tool for most of this work.
Scrape, degrease, brake clean, acid wash, rust reformer, seam seal, primer, black matte.
Still need to finish the all the...
Got in there with some acid, then cleaned it all up.
Rust reformer throughout, then seam seal later in the week.
Paint scraper worked 10x better than heat gun.
Got under the rear passenger wheel this morning.
Started with the heat gun to remove undercoating.
Super fun…Nope.
Only found a couple surprises under the seam sealer.
Earlier in the week removed the trim from the rear seat and painted it black to match the latches.
Today added canvas to the back of the rear seat to touch it up a bit.
I’m optimistic the glue showing through will dry as expected and mot look like a stain.
I like the look. A little later I’ll...
Also spent a little time making a center console.
It’s far from done. Things are tacked in place until I get the desired goodies added.
Bought the insides from Amazon. The storage area was for a Bronco. It’s two pieces which is nice.
Top will be waxed cotton like I have on other parts of the...
Working on the other side of the cargo area.
Added dedicated light switch, 12V, USB ports and a cigarette lighter.
Nice to have the lights without the truck on.
Wires dangling from the pillar are for lights.
Not sure where or how I will be mounting them yet.
Need to add the vapor barrier and cut...
