    Those do look promising...I needed those about a year ago. 🙃 I'll be curious to see what "spec" they matched - the South American doors used a "newer" style weatherstrip for the glass.

    I don't have any of it on the rig, and it's all apart now - but it was basically one of these hourglass shock bushings. I think the shocks shipped with 1/2" ID holes, which were too small for the rears, so you had to press out those bushings and press in the 5/8" ones to match the rear shock...

    I made mine out of some extra shock bushings leftover from my OME kit...one of the pairs (rear?) ships with the wrong bushing, and OME just ships the correct ones to swap in. They were sitting there in the parts bucket, so I used the ones that I pressed out - I just cut it in half to have the...

    Ha, that's the plan with some 255/85/17s, but I'm sure it could still use a smidge more. 😆

    If only they made an orion with an overdrive... I'd take that over crawler gears, but I've got a '76 with the 4.11s.

    I don't have mine apart, but it looks like it's just a pretty typical momentary push switch...hopefully they help a little. My main wiring loom needs the same clean-n-rewrap treatment though, I'll be feeling your pains shortly...at least my rear harness is all patched up and rewrapped.

    Sharp! Definitely on the home stretch. Looking forward to that day myself...soon, soon.

    Can't speak for the OP, but with the more modern materials and equipment (and info out there), it's much more approachable than it ever was. I started dabbling last year - redid a salvage motorcycle to start small and learn...then did a full redo on my '98 Ram, and hoping/planning to paint my...

    Good to know on the Raptor, thanks for the info. Guessing I'll only do the underside, but still nice to color match. And I forgot, it was the new Lunar Rock color that I was sleuthing - similar to concrete but a tiny touch of green, kind of harkening back to the old light green color, but a...

    Very curious to see your final product - I'm midway through my frame-off, and I've been eyeing up that new Toyota Concrete color as well. Mine was originally *all* Cygnus White...I'm tempted to go back to the white since that's original, but the two-tone color schemes tend to just look nicer...
