Here is a pic of me getting the license plate light figured out… had to cut a hole to make it fit, I also had an old license plate laying around so I had to drill that out to make it fit… think I will weld some tabs so I can drop plate down and inch or so before this goes to powder coating… that is if I ever get a welder… (hint hint dad!!! I got beer…. )

light not done... just blasted and has some primer on it...

Jim... can we talk about drinking, girls and guns now... please... this FJ40 stuff is really dull....

 

[ATC.Alasmari]

nice job

 

[FJ40Jim]

OK, you've done enough work for now.

Well hell man, the problem with that snow blower is the COLOR! Get off your ass and paint that thing to match the Cruiser. THEN it will do right!

Man, your truck is looking fine!

oh yea... forgot to say... picked up a new glove box door from Steve also... mine is got a bunch of little dents in it... so I will be painting that and putting that on... pretty low on the priority list for now however..

Got some more stuff done with weekend. Furball and I extended that seat bracket so it would not have to use that cheesy extension tube that they give you with the alum. Tub. We discussed it earlier in this thread if you don’t know what I mean. Furball was nice enough to let me use his welder and had a piece of square tubing laying around…. I did all the welding myself, first time since my 10th grade welding class.. haha.. and I am old so that was a long time ago.

cleaned up, painted and sitting in place...

Took the rest of the seats apart, blasted the remaining brackets and got primer and paint on them Saturday evening. sunday morning got up early got 2 more coats on. was able to carefully put everything back together and get the seats in last night. I was really glad I pre fit all the seats but they still took a little work to get in, I did not drill any holes for the front brackets until yesterday and I was really glad I did it that way, I was able to get everything in there loose and then figure out exactly where to place those brackets then drill the hole.

a few more...
