    TORFAB: The 1988 Gray Metallic FJ62

    Nice. I like the gauges. Out of curiosity, where's that usually parked? ;)

    Bowfin rack on 60 series

    FYI the Rhino Rack roller kit fits fine on the Bowfin. Wasn't able to get a kit from Patrick back when I got my rack, glad he's making that available now.

    Cruiser Head

    Like this a lot. Been meaning to get after this as a project using the previous approaches of bolting to the inner fender, but like your take on it with the mounts on the firewall. Can you post up some info on the kit/installation? Are you using a drill and mount rivnuts on the firewall, does...

    Daphne FJ62 R2.8

    No regrets after replacing the KO2s. Really like the ride and improved acceleration & braking. Great on wet roads and actually better in snow/ice by a good bit. No experience with them off road. I'm sure they're adequate, but you're never going to be able to safely air them down as much as a...

    Sun visor post

    I put LS400 visors in my 62. The angle is a bit wrong on them and they rub the headliner when set to shield the side windows. They extend out on the rods though. They're pretty much a direct bolt up. I recall having to make a minor modification, but it was so minor I don't even remember what it...

    Need a large screen for my FJ60 stereo

    Not sure you'd get the poster to reply, but here's an 'Mud Alpine "Halo" bench install someone did in a disembodied dash in Qatar. I can assure you the Alpine Halo decks are pretty stoutly mounted. I only used the top two, of four, screen mount screws in a sedan I used to own. This was so I...

    Builds "Falcor" the 1984 FJ60

    Read this thread though from Page 1 yesterday. Wow, that's a busy 6 months! Impressive work and congrats on finding such a low mileage rig for a starting point. Hope to see it in person when you get it back together. Really enjoyed the Bend travelogue posts too. That's an area we've only driven...

    Builds Bean! The Adventure Continues (1987 FJ60)

    Wow! Those aren't chips, those are chunks. Interesting that the windshield chrome is still available but not the gasket to accept it? Or at least that was my impression. I'd like to get my windshield chrome back but thought I'd convinced myself that neither OE or aftermarket were available.

    60 series Rear Bucket Seats

    Yeah, I hear you. I have them retrofitted in my 62 so we can have seating for three and remove one half to mount our fridge. I do miss the fold flat bench though.

    Daphne FJ62 R2.8

    Thanks. There's no visible difference between the parts with film and without. The film comes up to the bottom of the decals on the doors/rear quarter, and is cut around the decals on the fenders . Had originally though to do the whole sides, but was advised by the shop not to put film over the...

    Daphne FJ62 R2.8

    Tackled the hoodliner replacement and used @Bullzi suggestion (~post #211 or so) on adhesive-backed thermal insulator material. Added some foil tape around the edge of each piece. Also thanks to Lauren for saving my neck (literally) with the idea to template the old liner off the truck rather...

    60 series Rear Bucket Seats

    50/50 split bench out of the HJs are available occasionally. Just have to drill holes in the floor for the center brackets to mount to. Latches and everything else lines up. You lose the fold flat option of the single bench though since they fold then tilt up against the front seats.

    FJ62 ashtray RAM phone mount for a busy dash

    Combined @ChaserFJ60 FJ62 ashtray switch panel, @NLXTACY Wit's End DashHole Plug Mount, and a RAM ball/cradle to mount my phone. Challenge was where to mount a phone without blocking a bunch of other stuff and this did the trick for me. I had to notch the switch panel reinforcement rib to fit...

    Retro stripes

    Use a laser level. Lift the truck end(s) if needed and use the bottom of the windows as a reference to level the truck and then set your layout lines. Don't go nuts with a heat gun and stretch/warp your decals.

    Cruiser Head

    Congrats on the write-up and World Famous Land Cruiser Parts milestone. Never seen them called a "J6" before, but makes sense. Encompasses the HJ, BJ and FJ 6x series all in one. Just ordered your "J62" ;) ashtray switch panel.

    Builds Bean! The Adventure Continues (1987 FJ60)

    No need to check it, but thanks. Probably don't want something with that much directed light. The older one looks a bit more diffuse.

    Did your HVAC bulb look like the one below? SB LEDs lists the 3022-CW4 as discontinued and replaced by this 3022-CWHP4-V2 part. Have my doubts this will fit. Also what color temp did you get on this and the glovebox one? 6000K, 4500K or 3100K? Ordered up that dome light too, thanks. Hadn't seen...

    Daphne FJ62 R2.8

    Well I de-poseurfied it a bit with some TRD Pro wheels, 265/70/17 31.5" BFG Trail Terrain tires and put the rack back up in storage. Losing the the steelies and C-rated 33" BFG KO2s shaved ~37lbs per corner in rotational/unsprung weight -- 25lb Pros vs 46lb steelies and tires are 38lb vs 54lb...

    Builds Bean! The Adventure Continues (1987 FJ60)

    Timely post. I've got a new liner waiting for pickup and hope to get to that next week. The insulation I hadn't thought of but will definitely do. I probably would have tried tracing/cutting it in place lying on my back in the engine bay though -- rather than using the old liner as a template...

    Daphne FJ62 R2.8

    TL;DR "Dad lets me drive slow on the driveway." The R2.8 is awesome, the coil sprung (w/rear airbags) suspension is very good. My only regret is the loss of cruise control, but I'm hoping @TheNeek can pull something out of his wizard hat that I can copy. R2.8 w/6L80E: Plenty of grunt and no...
