Just another JDM BJ74 in the U.S.

I meant to say front seats. I found the pic of the bracket with the corner cut off though, not sure how I missed that. Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion... But the front seats don't come with brackets, only mounting holes on the underneath side. I just adapted my current (non-original) front seat brackets to fit the new bestop front seats.

 

[Delirium]

Ohh I see. ok, thanks. I guess what I'm trying to find out is if any seats from a wrangler/cj that those bestop seats are for would be able to bolt onto my stock brackets.

 

[theferg]

I don't think it's gonna be a straight bolt on affair, but Ya, I dunno. I will try to get measurements of mine and then a stock set tomorrow.

 

[Delirium]

Don't go out of your way or anything, but, if you think about it the next time your down there and want to measure the distance between the bolts on the seat or something then it would surely be appreciated. Thanks man!

Sorry, the stock truck got sold before I could get the measurements. I can still get measurements from mine if you want. Let me know.

And got this bad boy in the mail yesterday. Hope to tackle the tcase clunk as well as a minor tcase output seal leak this weekend if possible.

Ironic.

I installed new folding arms today as well:

Funny! Though, unlike yours, mines not got the bumpers on the hood for the windshield to rest on...yet... I'll be adding those as well. Not sure I'll ever really have the windshield down much, but, the windshield came with hinges to do so, so why not have all the right rest of the pieces in place to do so....right?!?

Edit: And I also forgot to order the correct "caps" for the bolts for the wiper arms. So I cut down my old ones a bunch and they clipped right on. They'll work until the correct new ones arrive.

 

[Delirium]

No problem Ferg.

You guys wouldn't happen to have the part numbers handy for those wiper arms, caps, the bumper, and bolt knob things by any chance would you? Did you order those from Toyota or is there an aftermarket source?

 

[theferg]

I'll see if I can track them down. I got them through Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters. He usually gets an extra or two of anything I request from him so he may have some of this stuff in stock, or perhaps be able to get them again.

Worked on a little project this afternoon. One of my favorite additions to this rig. Awesome product. Thanks @wardharris ! I don't know how all this junk was staying in there before....

 

[theferg]

Actually, I installed the rear elocker diff this past weekend. Took a good bit of time to get it all done. Finished it all up yesterday with the help of @cruiseroutfit welding my upper shock mount on for me as I'm not too good with welding, especially in tight spaces like under the rig.

Got to now finish wiring both the front and rear all up to the computer and switch now and I'm good to go. I don't really like how the wiring harness worked out on the rear elocker motor either, so i'll try to route it a bit better later.

Looking really good, Ben!

What are you thinking to use as Locked/Unlocked indicator lights?

Keep up the good work,

I've been thinking about grabbing one of these tubs but I'm worried about it fitting in the glovebox with a fusebox mounted behind it. Is it a completely snug fit or is there a little play, say 1"? Thanks.

 

[cruiserdan]

The tub is snug all the way around. The only "space" available is directly above it from the moulded ridge about 3/4 of the way up the sides of the compartment.

Thanks. Maybe I can mount the fuse box on the top of the interior of the glove box.

 

[cruiserdan]

You could. If it fits above the ridge the tub will clear it.

 

[theferg]

Yup. What Dan said.
