Got a little dusty? Where’s the mud? (This is IH8MUD 😝)

Perfection.

Question - do the SWBs only have one reflector in the tail? Or is this a removable top vs. fixed top, maybe a year thing?

Mud?? You're going to give me nightmares Paul :eek:

As for the SWBs to the best of my knowledge they all had 3 reflectors, one on each bed side and the a singular on the drivers rear. Which makes since with the fixed tops as the tire carrier would have been in the way. On the R/T it certainly would have balanced things out visually to have two on the rear.

It doesn’t get any better! Another masterpiece JP! Hope you can enjoy it for a while! Too bad you can’t get your hands on some rk3’s! That would complete this otherwise perfect restoration!🍺🍺👍 fix that high/low grommet at the firewall, it’s bothering me!!!
 
(Duh, spare tire would block a reflector on that side.)

The top shelf in the restoration world just got a fair bit higher.

Stupid question - what’s your helper (dad lol) think of it?
 
This might be the shortest build thread in Mud history.
 
Phenomenal 👋

Do you take your shoes off when you step inside 😄

I dream that my FJ45 may one day look that nice.
 
I find myself with impure thoughts and feelings, entirely inappropriate towards an inanimate object...

Thanks Paul! Dad is very much enjoying retirement and the stress free life of not running a firm anymore but he has been bugging me for a raise and A/C in the barn :grinpimp:

Yes not my best efforts on a build thread this time. I took more of the "A picture is worth a 1,000 words" approach :D

Beautiful! Love the white vinyl floor mats... though they will be murder to keep clean.
What a stunner.

Thanks guys! Ya'll might already know this but the funny thing is Toyota actually used that pyramid white vinyl for their interior floor mats until like 1966. My dad's '63 LV had them. I have a very limited knowledge of Japanese culture but it is obvious they must be much tidier than us Americans :lol:
