Hey Came up with a tie Idea for my FJ thought I would share with everybody, basically I fab up a thick rectangular sheet metal boxes and flush mounted in the bed of the FJ and put airline cargo tracks with pear links in the boxes what'cha think

I mounted mine on the side of the fenderwells. I think they are a great idea.

Heater Install

Alright got the heater in. I put it in similar location of oem heater (core). Here are some pics which shows my heater location and how routed my heater hose (I chose to use -10 line, -10 bulk head fittings, and matching an fittings) The back is attached with a sheet metal bracket to the original top mounting holes for oem heater, and front is bolt to the front edge of the dash I'm so glad the good cars are made of steel.

Soft Top Solution

Alright so I know STC tops is out of business and I was missing the tailgate channel (Didn't get it from the po) so I came up with a solution. Sew on webbing straps and attach it in the same manor as the oem soft tops; works really well. I finished sewing it up last night check it out, I think I'll also bond some weather stripping back there to help further with water leaks/spray and heat loss. Time for a break.
