D’animal’s 1991 FJ 80

[dallen341]

Shock bushing does not look right

 

[D'Animal]

I see what you mean.

I’ll double check the upper washer.

 

[dallen341]

I don’t think there is need for a washer against the axle (lowest washer pictured). If I recall the bushing registers into the hole in the tab.

 

[dallen341]

Maybe I’m wrong here

 

[D'Animal]

New mirrors installed.

 

[D'Animal]

New weather guard floor mats.
Should have installed these in my rigs years ago.

 

[D'Animal]

Replaced the bent front bumper with one from my 96.
Didn’t fit so installed the home made one from my 1992.

 

[D'Animal]

Installed new out weatherstrip in on the windows.

 

[D'Animal]

Cannot believe how much dirt is trapped under the old weather stripping.

 

[D'Animal]

All the outer weather stripping is replaced.

 

[D'Animal]

Cleaned the grooves in the gasket for the slider windows.

Next step is Silica spray to lubricant them.

 

[D'Animal]

Pleasantly surprised how little amount of crap was in the blower motor.

 

[D'Animal]

Removing the fender flairs in order to buff the paint.
Undecided if I will be putting them back on.

 

[D'Animal]

Found the drivers side front door latch was actually broken. Replaced it with a Dorman metal assembly.

 

[D'Animal]

A little off roading tonight after work.
CalFire spotter planes were flying over the ranch I manage. Had to make sure the fire wasn’t on the ranch.

 

[D'Animal]

The 1991 with 33’s next to my 1996 on 35’s.

 

[Ragnaroek]

Do you know where the front bar on your '96 came from?

 

[D'Animal]

It’s a TJM bumper I took off my FJ 60.

 

[Ragnaroek]

Looks perfect imo.

 

[D'Animal]

Had the crappy tint removed and the rig cleaned and detailed.
I’m surprised how the shine came back on everything but the roof and hood.
