K-

I tried to buy the entire door inner workings but most of that stuff has been d/c'd, damn it. I didn't get the inside door handles b/c decided to go with a custom setup - which, thankfully, will come mounted to a wire-pulley thing-a-ma-gig, hehe. And speaking of gaskets - I wonder if just the gaskets are available? It would be good to have a spare set or two vacuum sealed. . .you know, on the ready. And yes - full w/s, inside & out, including the upper & lower tailgate mofo's.

I thought about installing this myself - but only for a brief moment. No garage, no lift, no experience = I've been down that road before and spent 2x what it would have initially cost me...just to put back together what I took apart, lol. Just bought a rear axle housing from one of our MUD members and looking for a front. Once I have the two of them - I'll get them powder coated. Once powder coated, truck goes to suspension shop for axle housing swap with all new goodies, new lift, new hubs, new brakes, and new steering stuff.

It sucks not have the space/time/experience - as I'd love to learn more than I am at the moment. But. . .I am selling my white fj60 to a friend of mine and hopefully will have the chance to experiment...I mean, help him work on that one, lol.

Hope all is well and an early Happy New Year-

I missed this...did you install LED headlights?!?!?! If so which ones. I need to do the same...i think I'd get more lumens from attaching two candles to my front bumper vs. the stock headlights.

Oops. . .missed yrs while typing the above reply, lol.

Installed SLCfj62's harness & relay, and the JW Speaker headlights a while ago - maybe Apr/May of this year? Hmm. . .I'll have to ck the pics.

Love them . I commented under the 'lights' forum - think there's a thread about the JW Evolutions - but gave my .02 regarding my install (yes, all by myself) and thoughts on light performance. I'll find the thread and come back to post it for you. . .

damn, 44 is too young to go senile....i remember your posts now. :bang: the JW's are pricey, but i don't think I can keep driving around with the stock lights, i'm too used to HID's now.
 
I did confirm with Toyota that I got the last set in the US for Shane.

Woooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo! Yiiiiiiiiiiippeeeeeeeeeeeee!
