We took project 2 out for its first on road test run and everything checked out just great with some adjustments needed to the brakes . The 3F + H55 combination has changed the whole drive and feel of the vehicle.

We are now down to final finishing and touches after which the truck will be going to its new owner.

Here are some updated photos from last week. The soft top is new from our stock but is temporary the final top will be of a different color.

Enjoy

Hi Moriarty, Did you make the soft top yourself, or buy from Ehsan in Pakistan, or another source? Just curious, thanks.

TLC FJ40 Project 2 Fully Restored

It took us a good four months and 25 days but here it is all ready for its new owner! One of the highlights of this vehicle are the sweet VDO gauge cluster shown in the picture. They were expensive but worth each cent.

Mutt Drops in at a TLC Garage

We had a visitor while we were finishing up with project 2 and its not a TLC. This Mutt belongs to a close friend who wanted us to do a quick detailing job. These vehicles have a charm of their own.

Email sent. There is quite the market for Fj4x OEM replica soft tops in the US if you're interested in putting together a group-buy.

All that said, I have been subscribed to your build for a while and appreciate the attention to detail.
