Looking for assistance rewiring a 1972 Toyota FJ40 - jeep like convertible. Pretty straight forward - have new harness ready to go - lighting etc is shot. Takes time and experience pays on this. Looking for one to two days work - heated garage in Vienna Virginia. Name your price. Thanks

If only I had the time...

Mac -

Have your friend Nick give Ryan a call at OTRAMM (see banner ad above). He might like a day or two working in a heated garage and he is The FJ40 guru in these parts. Vienna's a bit far for him, but a full day's work might be worth fighting the traffic from Warrenton.

Jon,

It's a CL ad, I don't think Mac knows this guy. I found the ad on CL as well.

 

[Stumpalama]

@Belowdeckfab I sent Nick, the CL ad poster @macattack_ga is referring to, an email recommending your services. If he contacts you about this job and you decide to do it, you have to make your willingness to travel to Vienna on his promising to join the club.

If he does there may be a in it for you...

 

[OTRAMM]

He'd have to get the truck to me. A rewire is way too involved to do on site. The only way I can see someone doing one in a day or two is if they're chained to the cruiser and whipped every fifteen minutes. But I do appreciate the referral.

 

[Stumpalama]

At least if he calls you can recalibrate his expectations. I know it took me about a month of after work and weekend time to rewire mine, which probably equated to a solid week to 10 days of straight work.

 

[OTRAMM]

The last one I did I logged 34 hours. That was repinning all of the factory plugs though instead of butt connecting them. It's one of those jobs you can only do a few hours at a time before your brain goes numb.

saw taht 40th anniversary but entering the VIN on google brought up this
http://www.mercedessalvagecars.com/...97_TOYOTA_LANDCRUISR_22059113/c-1/g-22059113/

does anyone have a current carfax?

 

[iptman]

I don't think those are the same 40th. The CL ad doesn't have a roof rack or the dents in the bumper. I wonder what the rust sitro is on that thing coming from WV.

 

[chudly]

wouldn't the rack and bumper be easily removed? I've contacted the CL seller but haven't heard back

 

[iptman]

Bumpers, yes. Roof rack, not so much. To do it right requires headliner removal, welding and paint. The CL 80 doesn't have the rear spoiler/dust deflector or evidence of its prior existence and usually that came with trucks that got the pet installed roof rack.

 

[dbug]

The title looks clean to me...

So I'm looking for a sand blaster and came across this. Had to share because it's so funny. Points for creativity though.

[emorth]

Fantastic! Inexpensive, functional, easy to make. What's not to like? I'm going to build one.
I agree Yellow Jacket, lots of points for creativity.

 

[Stumpalama]

I'd get tired of kneeling design limits you to small parts.. now lay it sideways and your getting somewhere.

 

[Von Hayek]

Put it on your workbench! I think that would fit on mine.
