destins 1964 fj40 FST restore thread

yeah...mine does that...but its pretty far below and in the center of the bumper...if it can get centered on the side and have the bracket that mike makes around it and its placed in front of the shackle IMO it shouldnt be all that bad...just a thought

mike could also munkey around with the hieght and probably not have it too far down at all

I dont want to derail destins thread...but...heres a pic ...it does seem like it would fit just above the bumper and below the fog light if a bracket was created to fit it like this (sorry LITP I didnt have an AZ plate to copy over LOL ):

mike is good at building the rear bracket...maybe he can wipup something that will look stock and hold the plate over the front of the bumper?

Where can I get one of those klaxon sirens?
I want one.

That would be really easy for anyone to do

 

[JohnnyC]

easy yes...make it look stock...not really....a nice bracket to hold the plate matching the rear plate hanger would make for a more oem look

Fox has the tools

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

easy to look stock as well...just need a little patience

 

[destin]

Would take Fluid Film® | Corrosion Preventative, Lubricant and Rust Inhibitor
that`s what you can get in the USA.

btw. would`t drive to often on a wet salty beach,
It`s fun but the salt kills your truck.

I do not plan on making beach driving a regular thing The sand gets everywhere

I will look into getting the rig prayed down in the frame and underneath soon.
