Build Clifford is home again- a 1965 FJ40 FST

Fun update. Finally got this battery hold down done with help from my buddy @TheNeek. I wasn’t a huge fan of the generic Chevy unit I was running. This one is stainless steel and has added bracing underneath so it’s pretty darn stiff. With the large wing-nuts, I think the battery area is sorted.

Step forward and back again. Got rid of the hardware store bolts and put on fresh OEM goodness. I was hoping the thicker 1/2” spacer I put on the tire holder would push the tire out enough to not hit the hinges but no dice. Thicker it is!

Awesome. Good to know. I’ll shoot for that.

1” square steel tube (vertical) works well.
