Finally getting off my a$$ to post this.
I've been working on a replacement glove box for the FJ60's for way too long. I know Wits End has discontinued his aluminum glove boxes so I thought I would see if there is any interest in a 18ga powder coated steel version.
Details of progress:
I have made a few prototypes and tested them locally on 2 other 60's (thanks to @NookShneer and @Skreddy). I would need to do some more test fitting before I would offer them for sale. From the the 2 vehicles I have tried them on there has been an issue with each. On Skreddys 87 the opening top to bottom was a bit larger than my 60 (mine was produced Sept 85). I have no idea if this was a change Toyota made sometime after mine was produced or if there is a discrepancy with the openings. Hopefully someone can enlighten me.
On Nooksheers (don't remember year) there was a large wire bundle at the back of the opening near the heater duct, again I have no idea why this was different from my cruiser. The proto box did hit the bundle some but not enough to prevent installation, I would probably reduce the depth of the box design if this was a common theme.
Fortunately I have all the tools and a large powder coat oven to fabricate these all in house, this in turn will keep the cost down.
In the meantime I would like to find a few 60 owners that would be interested in fitting these into their rigs. I would supply the finished glove box, as long as you agree to provide feedback about the installation and fitment. For your time you will get to keep the glove box if you like it of course. The only thing I ask is that those interested pay for shipping to their location.
