My FJ60 Project (1 Viewer)

Wow, really nice truck. I like your inner panels. Could you post a couple of pics and a bit more information on the material you used.
As a segway, have you ever heard of 'Boomershoot'?
I'm up for the 4X4 Labs rear bumper and sliders, they really look good.

That is a pretty neat little switch panel!! Is the "In/Out" switch a momentary rocker or is it an "On-Off-On" style switch? Also, what sort of hardware are you using to attach your rear panels to the body? Nutcerts etc? They look sweet anyway!! Also, what is the little "TEQ" thingy in the dash - looks like a coin holder or beer opener - I'm really hoping for the latter!!!!

Gents,

Thanks for the kind comments.

Hey I'm in the process of building some rear panels like yours an I was wondering, it looks like your panel lids are a separate piece... Did you make them or buy them?

Made them myself.

Used 1/8" ABS Plastic.

In/Out switch is momentary.

Hardware used to attach cargo panels:

Auveco 15752 U Nuts
#10 Screw Size Spring Type U Nuts Qty (50) [15752] - $10.12 : NutsandBolts.com
#10 x 1" Oval Head Phillips Stainless Sheet Metal Screws (Home Depot)
#10 Stainless Finishing Washers (Home Depot)
Screw grommets. Used just one of these for each side. They can be seen in the next pics near the hole for the cable harness. Had to square the round hole using a hand file.
Screw Grommet 18mm Head 17mm Length

Here are some pics of the area prepared before panel installation…

Passenger side.

Driver side. Note only removed (drilled) one of the cross bars.

Bomar Inspection Hatch- inside view.

Very Sweet...
I think the utilitarian, minimalist panels give it more of a safari feel, like an old 110 Rover...something you can jump into covered in mud and elk blood and not even worry. Looks great.

Sweet truck!

I may have missed it in the write up, but what does the vent/air filter go to by your gas tank fill tube?

 

[AKcruiserfreak]

Great looking rig man! I love my Yeasu 7900! I ran a Diamond antenna on my rear bumper due to garage clearance. Keep up the good work.

thank you so much for your detail and pics! I just recently received a 87 land cruiser and the mods you are making are fantastic thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! I hope to do half as good a job on mine! Thanks for setting the bar!!!!

 

[cruiserpilot]

What did you use for inside window sweepers? Cause you have no upper piece to the door panel. Some guys use them from other Toyota''s, what did you do?

Your kind words are much appreciated. Good luck with your build. The most important part of it is to have fun as you build...

I have not figure it out yet. The front passenger window glass rattles a bit in the up position... But I have no A/C, so most of the time it rides down.

Congratulations!!!

Got more pics!

A few pics of the truck just before the paint job.

New hood heat/sound liner. Got the material at PepBoys and used the old liner as a template. Used new retainer clips (Auveco, sorry dont have the number). The new clips are almost identical to OEM, but a bit wider in diameter.

New 555 TRE's and DIY aligment job (toe in). Painted the bars and used new grade 8 hardware. One of the best mods ever!

 

[TacDoc]

New WARN M8000

I understand that the feet screws are just to hold the winch in place... but I cant conceive why WARN uses grade 5 hardware... Easily fixed with a trip to the local bolt and fasteners store...

Electrical rat nest... 12V Guy Dual Batt & Winch Control.

De-chrome job

[robustbambi]

this thing is looking soooo good

DiamondRax

Can you say beefy?

Ax & Shovel mount is old school ConFerr style.

The ammo can holds the recovery gear.

De-Chrome Job.

Windshield seal is SOR one piece/no chrome. I have to admit I was skeptical at first when I got it. No leaks as of today. Now Im a believer.

Cargo windows have the OEM seal with new welt. Precision WLS466.

Removed the hideous chrome from the doors and replaced the outside window weather strips.
