Gossamer- '87 FJ60 aka "The Red Monster"

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I'm thinking another shifter would do the trick...

Tore all the old door material off the donor/template panels. I'll be headed out of town for anniversary Friday.. SO... JOANNS or HANCOCK FABRIC HERE I COME.. Need some headliner material for padding.. Also some 3/16" hardboard and 1/4" MDF..

Gonna try and knock out this customers rear bumper tomorrow and get all my door handles sandblasted and painted.

My front prototype bumoer is sold as of today. Will be building a new one for Goss in the next week or so...

Material arrived for the new slider boards too.. Lots to do fellas....

I was going to just buy a steel painters pole for my rear bumper to put the 2-18W LEDs on... But will NOT use that and have come up with a way to extend the lights when camping...

Should have this mod completed SOON along with the hammock poles into the bumpers..

I really want to get going on the 40 and the armor...

Dang Jason, wish I woulda known you were looking for a 55. Passed on a running 74 for 1500 when I was in Wyo last summer...

I am definitely in squirrel mode to score some your excellent armor. Sigh, maybe next year.

No worries... I'll find one again one day.. The 40 will keep me busy for a while..

Finished up work early this morning and got a few items off the TO DO list.. Door latches are installed and got the door handles and locks sand blasted and painted. Will get these installed tomorrow and hopefully get all the glass back in the doors.

Also got my Wet Okole covers.. SO NICE!

Is that a boot print on the new cover?

 

[Shebamacalla]

those covers look great, can't wait to see them installed!

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

The covers fell out of the bag onto the shop floor when I opened the box. There are a few places with dirt on them.

Thanks S, hopefully end of next week.

Do the rear wet okoles cover the backside of the back seat? Can you take a pic after the install looking into the back of your 60? Appreciated.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I'm pretty sure it covers the back just like the fronts..

Not as much done as I wanted today... Finished up a customers rear and rack, welded out the trailer frame and got the locks and door handles on Goss.

@MACFJ60 @reevesci

The Wet Okoles do cover the back of the rear seat. Full coverage. With nicely crafted cut-outs for the seat stay latches (where it clips into the seat bottom when folded).
