Installed some Falken 285/70’s on some steelies today.
Welcome! Great to see another 81 around here. Just a tip, when you decide to paint, be mindful of your primer color, especially if you're going blue. I chose to paint my 81 the older 77-80 sky blue instead, but my painter used a yellow tint primer and yes, yellow and blue do make green

Thanks man. Those primary colors get you all the timeWelcome! Great to see another 81 around here.

Currently only putting primer on things that need covered up. Like the pink and the purple that were there when I got it.
Upholstery by Gucci. You don’t see that every day.

Seats are actually tolerable. Will need to re-cushion the driver though. Feels like I’m sitting the floor lol

Installed the hard top back and primer painting in my driveway. Keeping with the 100' truck approach. Picked up some Cygnus white for the hard top. That will be next. Been replacing hardware everytime I remove and put back something. Swapped out the old headlights for the Koito's a while back. Man they sure help seeing at night

When installing the hard top I was missing the rear kick vent window hardware, well just for one side. I have checked several sites for just the hardware ie rubber bits and screws. Only thing I turned up was some ebay stuff out of Malaysia I think. Anyone have a good lead on those parts?
I wouldn't do any more to the paint now. I like that 2 tone but it is your rig. good call getting rid of the pink

Post a wanted (WTB) add in parts classifieds here.
Usually a very fair price and plenty of folks have parts boxes in the garage, I know I do.
Any chance the bezel is going white?

You can not swap square and round bezel , only way to do it is by swaping a bib from a 78 and older

I have this thought often and contemplate going to the early round....
Personal choice, but I kind of dig it on that paint scheme. Thank you for changing the color, two many flash backs with the old colors.

My theory is that Toyota went to a square bezel to prepare Land Cruiser customers for the very angular 70 series trucks, which were almost certainly in development when the 40s went square bezel.
(I have a similar theory regarding the square headlights on the 62: they did it to soften the transition to the 80 series.)
I probably think about these things too much...
