Thanks! Ya I recommend them. It's nice not to worry about rust. A guy at work has a fj40. It's a 1980 and fairly rusty. I just ran into him, he saw my cruiser and he asked if I got aqualu or the cool cruisers tub. Made me feel good that the aqualu really doesn't stick out too bad from a steel tub.

I ordered some auto carpet off eBay and cut it out to make new floor mats. I get rubber diamond plate from harbor freight and put Velcro on the back and place it in high wear areas on the mat. This will look nicer than my crusty floor mat. I use carpet because it grabs dirt n small rocks rather than let them roll away underneath the fuel tank. The carpet also makes it even tougher to tell if the tub is aqualu. I'll get some more diamond plate for this one.

Are you going to finish the edges of the carpet?

I'll see how it looks without once in the truck. If it looks bad I'll add some trim edging.

Well I took the top off, flares emblems etc. I also ordered a nicer tail gate from real steel. Cruiser is off to the body shop for paint!

So as i dropped off my ctuiser at the body shop i saw a turbo 22re truck, a diesel 60, and a red 40 getting worked on. He also had a absolutely sick chevelle that was black with ghost stripes.

I also bought a more original looking tail gate. I mounted it up and it looks much better. Took a little time to tweak it to fit. I will raptor the back side then drop it off at the body shop.

Back from paint...

I'm pretty happy with the paint for the price I paid. I didn't want a maaco job, and I didn't want a show car job. I was hoping for right about in between and I think that's what I got.
