GAH!!! You suck, now I am all antsy to get mine...
Couple quick questions (I believe I know the answers but want to be sure)...
1. mirrors - are those 72s or 62s?
2. Antenna is the wagongear one yes?
3. Dashcap - to glue or not to glue?
4. Rear slide windows - NOS that you had laying around right?

1. FJ62 Toyota OEM mirrors
2. WagonGear antenna mount kit. Antenna and all accessories are all Firestik.
3. I've read not to glue it down because it will crack. I'll probably go the double-sided tape path just to be safe. I'll research a bit more though.
4. CL Laurence aftermarket sliders. These are the flat style and modification to the pinch weld is required in order to get them to fit up nicely.

Not to be a hard ass, but the front springs look like they need some love :D

She looks great man!!
 
Yeah Johnny, It's a heavy/heavy OME kit. So I'll give it a little for the stink bug to go away and then I'll look about doing something about it. My other 60 settled down after a month or so. This rig might have a mile on it with the new suspension. Also, I'll be adding the rear drawers and pull a trailer so I want it a little higher in the back end anyway. Driveway slope doesn't help either. Need a road pic.

Here are my ground to fender well measurements as it sits right now.

RR- 38.5"
LR- 39.25"
RF- 35.75"
LF- 36.0"

I got almost 1 1/2" settling on my last cruiser without this much rear armor on heavies. So, I agree with you right now that it looks in need of some spring BUT.. I might not in a month or so.

Windows!
I hate putting things on bumpers... at least with windows you can scrape off without issue unlike body or bumper.

So where does someone find stickers like this???? And don't say ih8mud.com
 
Got a call from the 55 owner. He's had something come up and won't be able to meet with me. So, I'll try and reschedule with him for next weekend I hope. I passed at looking at the 4BT as well for now. I can't justify spending that much to look at the one thing. Hopefully everything is good and I can look at them both next week.....

Good thing is I get to spend some more time with Marley...

Haha, I have always fallen back on this analogy...in regards to doing what you love as a job...

No matter what...Marley is a fine piece.
