Thanks. It’s still got along way to go but I lucked out as it was mostly there to begin with.Great build, I have the same color fj! Unfortunately mine came without doors or a hard top, but everythings a work in progress.
My 79 also does not have the defrost horns. Believe it was originally purchased in Arizona. (CORRECTION Its California emissions model so it originally came from Cali but a some point was in sold in Az.) assumed thats why it didn't have them. Mine had the strips as well but no A/C or PS.View attachment 1666250 Also got this to replace the one that a PO removed sometime before I bought it.
Their were sun faded marks on the original console that match the mounting bracket perfectly.
I’m guessing it was originally dealer installed as the hard top has the dealer installed CB antenna mount and antenna still on it.
It’s odd that the original owner of my 40 got the AC, powersteering, top of the line CB and stripe graphics but not the optional defrost horns. It appears that many early ‘79 models, i.e. Jan and Feb as well as mid and late year 40’s got that option.
Maybe it was dealer installed by drilling the dash. Not sure. Anybody know?
How long did it take you to install the headlights? Any tips. I have a set and been putting it off....Oh, I removed the headlight guards too.
These Koitos combined with removing the wire guards made a HUGE difference. They have a nice cut off and great coverage
Thanks @Crush 4How long did it take you to install the headlights? Any tips. I have a set and been putting it off....
