1978 FJ40 frame off restore - Arkansas

[Pierps]

I've debated whether to change the color of my rig when I do my re-spray... But this confirms it- she's staying dune beige!

Very cool rig! I will also be going with Dune Beige........for now atleast.

It's apparent that you've taken your time to make sure everything is done correctly. The results are spectacular.

If you get a chance, could you take some measurements for me? I'm in the process of installing a tubular tire carrier on my '78 FJ40, but I don't know where to drill the holes for the mounting tabs (circled in red on your LC).

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Dave,

The green line measures 3 3/8"
The blue line measures 6 1/4"

Don't forget the bracket on the backside for the additional support of the tire and rack weight.
