Incorrect, because they are right-hand drive. The 1990-1996 Land Cruiser entry on the November 2013 eligibility list (from this page) is for left-hand drive vehicles. NHTSA specifically calls this out on the first page of that list:
Also, your interpretation that NHTSA prohibits importation...
How bright are these in daylight? That seems to be a common complaint on the site's product reviews. Also, which kit did you get? Inquiring first responders want to know! :)
The Chassis and Body manual shows how to do it. I think it's basically just remove that center bar, then pull up on the frame a bit and drop the glass on the floor. Saves weight when you ship them. :D
There's a PDF scan of the manual in the tech links section. If you can't find it, hit me up...
I have black Line-X on the roof of my brown 60. Ludicrously hot in the summer sun. Lining inside the roof with Reflectix (foil bubble wrap stuff) has helped a lot.
If you're going to coat the roof, any color but black is my vote, and the lighter the better.
Looks fantastic!
Please edit your original post to include the name of the shop you used. It sounds like they did a great job, and they deserve a link.
Grab the service manual(s) from the tech section ("Tech Links" at the very top of the page). Is it the tube, or a connection from the tube to a hose?
(I hate hate hate dealing with cooling system leaks. I have several right now!)
Newer panels don't include that adapter strip. So you have to figure out your own mounting, and just drill some holes in the dash support. Do the lower holes line up anyway?
Hey Mark, what did you do for mounting? I still have some cutting to do inside my dash before mine will fit, but wondering what those upper holes in particular have behind them.
My '82 does this once in a while, too, along with occasionally refusing to start the wipers on interval mode. I'm thinking the problem is actually in the wiper relay box up under the dash. There's a wheel that spins in there, and I bet the mechanism needs to be cleaned. High-tech stuff. :)
calphi27, the law in Colorado is no longer 25 years; it's 1976 or older.
So no, nobody with a recently-acquired FJ60 is going to be putting collector plates on it.
I've got narrow 33s on there now (33x10.5 BFG KM2), and on stock steel wheels. Everything is a lot quieter and less jumpy now, so I'm betting that next year's emissions will be less fun to watch. ;)
Installed the Reid ones the other day on my 1982 FJ60. They are definitely slightly too long, and push the tailgate all the way up into the rain gutter, as someone mentioned earlier in the thread. The LSD ones might be a better bet if they're a bit shorter.
That said, my tailgate definitely...
I hear you on the appeal of the total redo. This would be a really clean way to accomplish that if you were doing a frame-off or something. Off to find pics now. :)
