FJ60 interior - cosmetic and lighting upgrade / fixes

What’s the lightbulb for the dome light

I used a 31mm festoon LED bulb from SuperBright LEDs. I had to bend the contacts some to get it in place. But it works well.

Next on the list was radio upgrade. While I had it apart, i cleaned and added sound insulation. I went with a 10" floating single DIN head unit with wireless apple car play. I used the 60 series radio bracket from CruiserHead. (works great). I replaced the 5.25" speakers in the front and added some in the back to try and look as factory as possible. I used the 3D templates I found on a thread here. My rear panels were not the same, so I had to improvise a bit, but it all worked out ok.

I wonder if my high beam indicator module works on the retro bright kits

I put an LED bulb in the high beam indicator location. Works great.

How do you like that amazon sound deadener?

I was happily surprised at the quality. It is a heavy product. i used that as the first layer and then added the Siless 4MM closed cell foam sound deadening and heat insulation on top. both from amazon

Thanks so much for the order and thanks for posting up pics. Hood struts make life a lot easier on these trucks

One step forward then one step back — guess what type of hood support the new 2024 LC 250 uses? Yep, the good ole trusty support rod.
