Make PSILOCYBIN legal for TBI/PTSD/TRA&D
Just left my interior shop - spent the better part of 3 hours talking about FJ60's. I"ll skip the majority of the talk and get straight to what I think some of you might be interested in: DOOR Panels.
The original discussion revolved around this concept:
https://forum.ih8mud.com/60-series-wagons/141773-almost-done-pix-2.html
We discussed many different materials/options but to keep things relatively simple, I narrowed it down to this:
1. Material choice: HDPE (or similar material, can be decided closer to production); Aluminum. Finish, furniture, etc. can be individualized per order (see below).
2. Options:
Using your existing hardware/furniture (e.g., door handles, arm rest, window crank)
OR
Custom hardware/furniture:
Armrest: custom built or if you have a specific armrest from another vehicle you want, he can mount it (or you can, really - just depends on how 'finished' of a card you want).
window cranks (if you want cnc'd or otherwise but there's no spline match, he can do a custom spline attachment (basically welds flat bar into a square so that the male part now becomes universal for the square kits). I'm probably doing to do with a set of anodized handles, something similar to this:

Adding width to the top of the card (where your arm rest against the window if you drive like me) - this is a personal option I'm going to do simply b/c that's where I like to rest my arm and it's a little too narrow at present).
Fixed or adjustable map pockets
Either material can be covered/customized at little/much as you desire
Speaker hole (standard vent will be incorporated) but if you want a custom design (larger, spacer already installed, clips, tweeter hole, etc.)
Costs:
Basic door panel (set of 4)
HDPE: Approximately $400-$450
Aluminium: $400-$550 (depends on sheet measurement, how many doors can be cut per sheet, etc.). Note: I was surprised that the aluminum would be about the same as the HDPE - it was explained like this: Aluminum per sheet is often cheaper but the labor to create the finished product is more (man hours, blades, etc.).
Options:
It's hard to say b/c it really depends on how many people purchase.
Example:
I'm going to do the HDPE with:
custom arm rests
billet handles
extended top of card
speaker hold with spacer already installed
tweeter hole
door light hole
So, a set of cards like I want may go up to 1200 (give or take, maybe more - I'll post final build price).
We need a minimum of 10 ppl to get on board if we want to get the above prices. Granted, they are not set in stone but the basic design will not vary much if any.
If you're interested, I'll front the 'whatever it takes' to get started regarding materials, shop despot, etc. but each person will need to put 50% down (non-refundable).
There are a few other ideas we talked about tonight - I'll start a new thread and await feedback from members bf pushing other ideas any further.
Thanks-
Shane
