[80seriespoptop]

Spector supplied rear window rubber ! Side mirrors I like as they have a much larger glass area for rear visual concerns and enhance the overall safety factor of the fj55

 

[80seriespoptop]

Side mirrors can be purchased through O,Rielly's Auto Parts

The mirrors do look good.

9 months to find the rear back up lights they came as new in the original tecko box all yellowed and the tape was a rusty color from a vendor in Tiawan

80series,

Did I miss the year of yours? I know on my 71, which has the smaller back up lights, you can get new state side. I can look it up, but I thought from a Toyota dealer. Really liking those mirrors.

1972 and wish the local folks had those back up lights. The mirrors are very affordable $29 ea. very well made !

Yeah those mirrors are great, what kind of reflectors did you use? You're rig is awesome btw

The reflectors are from O'Riellys Auto parts but need a little triming to be the same size as OEM cost $5 ea

Thanks for the comment Razilla which is named after one of my daughters was a super fun project. I have another project brewing which is a 1965 nissan patrol that will be rebadged as a Mercedes 550 with om617 turbo diesel my spare parts bin of toyota parts amazing enough fit the patrol. But enough said about that. There are still things I need to finish up the details on Razilla and will post more pictures as I get these details in place

Can you find part number for the Toyota dealer lights?
