Hey everyone. I just finished this seven month long restoration. The idea was to keep it mostly stock, but with a couple of tasteful add ons. I was toying with the idea of adding a hidden winch behind the bumper. Has anyone done this?
I don't have an answer to your question...but would like to know more about your restoration and what you did.
Great looking truck.

I bought this really solid 85' literally out of a barn in Washington back in June. It was original owner with only 160k. The truck was use by a carpenter and quite hammered. It was taken off the road in 2012. I always wanted a 60. This seemed like a very nice base to start from. The truck was (aside from some surface rust) fairly rust free. I just had one area behind the windshield wiper motor to address. I tore the truck down to just a body and frame. There isn't anything on this truck that I didn't either replace or refurbish. The motor had very strong compression so I just resealed, repainted, and rebuilt the cylinder head. The body was very good except for the usual dings. I stripped it completely down and resprayed it with the OEM Toyota silver. Anywhere I could, I used Toyota OEM parts. This truck now feels like a new vehicle. There isn't a single squeak or creak to be heard. I drives like new as well. Was thinking of selling it, but I think I'll dirve it for a while and have some fun. It was a lot of work. I should enjoy it at least for a little bit.

Looks great! Where’d you source the seat covers? Are you part of Seattle Cruiserheads? Big contingent over there.
That’s a slick kit from Trail Tailor. I ran a similar setup with a 8274 for years. I love the look.

Got those from Cruiser Corps. They’re actually the exact same material my couch has
I would so hide that contactor box. What’s the point of hidden winch? I like the way it’s done.Have the winch mounts in stock.

Tuffy console or?…
I’m debating going back to cloth seats (heated of course) and I’d like a higher console too.

To each their own on the controller. I've installed it both ways and customers have as well. Main point is that some want a stock look instead of a big steel offroad bumper, but still want a winch.

It’s a Quadratec console for a YJ Wrangler. Fits perfect!
