I’m putting things in their place that I have here to make sure what I have here is right and to get what I need coming.
Cleaned up these perfect dash pads only to figure out I got the wrong passenger side pads
I tested the wiper unit and it works great. If you don’t have one of these you gotta get one

I’m done with everything I can do on this one until the motor comes in.
I’m headed off on a road trip tomorrow to take the seats to Cruiser Corps and do some shopping for hard to find items in Mike’s stash
Stay tuned

The day started with me dropping the fuel tank and some ubolts at Powder Keg and picking up the pallet with the seats.
Next I went to HQ and picked up a NOS front wire harness and the Sniper stuff

Somewhere in Oklahoma

It’s been a little over 3 weeks since @wngrog and I first saw the truck. I had not ordered any parts because I was not really sure what I had bought. Look at her now.

Provided my head gasket repair works, I’d like to get one of those bumpers for the faux 8274 someone gave me for my truck.
Wow. Is that the Dakota Digital Gauge Cluster? It really looks great!

Yes. Just do not get one with the GPS speedo.
Thanks for the heads up. I am going to have to put that into the FJ45. I like that style so much better than the others I have seen in the past.

This is my fourth. Big fan. They are really nice.
that is sweet
OK. I’ve got a little problem.
The Coolerman harness is for a pre - 72.
No problem. John bought a post 72 harness….brand new via Yemen that we thought was a 72….
Its not. Actually don’t really know what it is for.
The one that came with the truck is not terrible but there is no wiper harness or rear harness.
Soooooooo, I’m thinking the thing to do is use this brand new complete Coolerman harness and just modify it to work. For the most part pre-72 switches are still available where 72-73 are not.
The only real question would be the headlights. I’d need some guidance there since this harness is made for the 67 style headlight switch.
Pondering. Waiting for Coolerman to email me back
