[mr2m1]

I would be interested for a late 62. the Wits End one does not fit due to a wire harness location.

PM sent.

Ditto™.

PM sent.

I showed my guy in Wimberley this box and told him I wanted one in my rebuild. He said he was going to order a few from you for some of his other builds.

Thanks for spreading the word, I appreciate it.

Quick update.
I had to get a full time job so glove box production is reserved for the weekends. There are a few MUD members that have asked for a replacement glove box, your parts in process. I am also making a few extra to fit 12.75" openings. I will keep those on the shelf for quick dispatch.

Moving forward I will be offering these with the cutout for an LED plug and the stock 33mm light hole. The light hole will come with a rubber plug if you decide not to use it. This way I can keep a common size on the shelf.

For those interested I have 2 glove boxes ready to ship that fit a 12.75" opening. Message if you would like one.

Glove box update. I was able to get the parts bent this last weekend. Next is assembly , welding and powder coating. I hope to get them welded after work during the week and powder coated this weekend.....stay tuned.

Looking good. I'm flying to Austin next week to pick up my 60. If one of the first ones could be shipped to Danny, that would be great.

for my 88 fj62 do you still need a measurement for fitment? I am interested in this still.

I did some ac work and been debating on putting my glovebox back in. I think I might just wait for one of these.

Lucky you still have your original...mine was nearly dust 10 years ago, lol.

I ran them all as a batch order (12 in total). I will powder coat them next weekend.

Last measurement you gave me was 12 3/4" wide, that was back in Oct. I was waiting on you to send a photo of the glove box opening.

One of these is yours, please don't put your stock one back in.

Are you thinking it might not fit in there now?

UPDATE.....

Glove boxes are ready for powder coat next weekend. I worked Sat and Sun do get this batch ready for powder coating. My plan was to coat them today, but ran out of time. So if your waiting for one, I'll get them after next weekend.

Got mine installed today - Really pleased with the quality and fit. Excellent product.

I ended up shimming the striker with a couple of washers (and using some slightly longer OEM screws) to get it to latch properly. I guess the original cardboard insert pushed the striker down a little bit, and the glovebox cutout understandably eliminates it. Hope that helps someone.

Thank you for posting photos, it looks good in your cruiser. Ive had another person need a spacer under the latch also. Do you know the thickness that you had to add to get the latch to the right height? It would be easy to make something out of aluminum or UHMW to send with the glove boxes in case they are needed.

Of course - I measure the thickness at 3.6mm / 0.14” - it would’ve worked with slightly less, so I imagine a 1/8” spacer would do it.

Perfect, thanks.

I have a few glove boxes in stock if anyone is interested in one. These are CNC cut 18ga powder coated steel. Currently I'm selling these for $120 each plus shipping.

The glove box is great, and worth every penny.

If you have inquired about a glove box recently check your PM's. I am almost out of my current stock and I want to get parts to those who are currently interested. I will be making more, they wont be available for about 3 weeks.
