3d printer ftw! looking awesome! does that cap leave enough room for your fingers to get in there and unscrew it?

 

[TremecElectricGT]

Slide in / out cap snug fit over the J1772 Socket... with latch/retention mechanism TBD......

Have you tried Acetone vapor smoothing for your printer parts?

Have you tried Acetone vapor smoothing for your printer parts?

Certainly after we do rough print and fitment runs...

Very Cool project! Sounds like an RC car, but I guess it is only larger!

It would be a lot cooler if you utilized the non-US 80 series Denso AC fan in place of the SPAL. At least keep something Toyota!

88590-60010 Available from your local Toyota dealer.

It's a very robust and nice Denso unit.

Happy to see a customer interested in a DIY FJ build is going to be receiving an entire build list batteries (50 kWh Tesla S modules) included. Someone will be busy during home isolation!

Road & Track June 2020 did a nice article on the FJ project....

Great work and exposure guys. Between The NY Times article and this one, it’s going to be quite a growth spurt for you guys...

I can just see Jay Leno knocking at the door wanting one of his vehicles converted.

Very cool of the “angel investor”... all great ideas have some angel at their wings.

Kudos!

Now this one is coming in next level.L with what will be a repeatable production version of the eCrate swap. Things are really heating up....

Any good suggestions on a slightly downsized steering wheel for the early 70 FJ40 here?

I’ve always had good luck with the Grant wheels with an adapter but they don’t look anything like stock.
