1981 FJ40 Restore Project

[KY Longhunter]

I bought some spacers from CCOT but not long enough with my aqualu bib. I'm looking for ideas as well. Not rocket science but always good to bounce off someone else.

Thanks guys : )

Some more pics

The new sear covers and foam turned out awesome! Huge huge difference and I can't wait to take a ling drive-in them. The old ones were murder on my back.

New windshield installed

With all new seals ( every single one brand new oem ) this cruiser is damn near drum tight. In fact the doors are a bit tough to close, but I expect the seals to seat in and crush down a bit.

It still has a ton of dust and crap on it from the color sanding. Once it's cleaned up it's going to look great.

Winch bumper painted.


Almost done

Cruiser is DONE : )

Wow! Looks great. Maybe there will be a nice, clean, salt-free day for you to cruise in it this winter.

Nice looking ride

Beautiful! Nice work. I'm hoping that mine will come together this week

Here's a bit of a highjack, but do you mind telling me about how you are insuring it? Thanks, Taro
