Build 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 Build

[arnak]

looking really good! I like the red grille. I think it would look even better if the trim around the headlights was black also.

I was thinking about it too glossy black with black handles and air vents ?

Steaming the carpet to make it sit in place, I found a place that will redo the seatbelts owned by veterans $500 for all 5 seat belts they’ll remanufacture it in ivory color for me if they’re good I’ll share the contact here once I get them

Leaks everywhere coolant trans etc now I gotta see what happened lol
Ordered a Noco charger too will install soon like a trickle charger to keep the battery alive

 

[arnak]

Leather seats coming in, i’m doing perforated seats because I might order a heating and cooling set to build under it later

 

[arnak]

So I made a boo-boo but hopefully it’s a good lesson for those who don’t know

I installed the torque converter on the flex plate then mated the transmission

Good thing I haven’t started it or cranked it or else I would destroy the transmission pump inside

First install the torque converter on the trans and spin it until the notches line up and it’s seated in correctly then put it on the flex plate and torque it down in a star pattern

Now I gotta take the trans off oops

Your truck is going to be incredible.

Just a heads up, but those mud flaps are for 60s with the OEM fender flares.. Did you get the OEM fender flares?

Why do you always have to say something so accurate that I haven’t thought of

Lmao

I guess now we need fender flares

I've got a set I pulled off my 62. They are likely the Aussie repros. Pretty good condition. Holler via PM if you want
