Paint is standox I believe bumpers Have texture like bed liner standox also

Just in from paint man.. went darker one for wheels. Hard choice. also known as Caribou Brown for Audi

Odd they painted near the data plate under hood. Look for damage on that side. Rear bumper looks out of alignment, look for damage around the rear . Both could be nothing but look for damage in those areas.

there was older painted over damage on left rear, more than what I was led to believe. all fixed correctly now.

Closer to being done.

Mr. Defizer….job well planned, executed and by all accounts…will be well done! Barn doors are always cool, but split front seats are in the “coolest zone”! Metaphorically speaking, I’d give my left n_t for a pair of those!

One step closer. Wheels done spacers and lug nuts arrived yesterday tires are 265/70r17 yokohama at g015

Finishing touches then to interior.. windows tinted.. radiator rodded this week. Toyota emblem removed and being painted to match wheels.

..."haven't had a LC from middle east with manual hubs, so didn't pay attention. converted the 75 I had to manual".
No free wheeling hubs is common for 40/50/60 -Series trucks in the Middle East indeed. My FJ45 doesn't have too.

Does it have Power Steering? I couldn't see the typical Toyota P/S pump...

Yes, has power steering. Ac is not factory, but added late 80s

small update: should be done this week, finally, inshallah and all. from original 2 weeks. lol.

radiator rebuilt and some parts/components with water pump had to be fabricated due to non-available in Jordan. new choke is installed, carb rebuilt, other parts/pieces from cruiseroutfitters complete. new radio and speakers are in.

now to figure out shipping to US. company I used in past has seemed to ghotst me now on quote. may need to ship from KSA or Kuwait..

 

[Defuzer1]

Inch by inch.... have to replace AC hoses and piping.. pfft. Someday lol

 

[Defuzer1]

And it needs a thorough cleaning...

 

[Defuzer1]

1 step forward 2 steps back. Ac plumbing replaced hard lines and hoses. . Now this lol.

Will see if I can find info tomorrow. Ac is add on so not original.

 

[Defuzer1]

Compressor repaired.. then ..hcv needs replaced. One piece at a time. While getting compressor fixed they said lights in dash were dim, so replaced those. Will go led if/when I get back to US. Have to find shipping company. @cruiseroutfit came through again with hcv.

 

[Defuzer1]

Clearing up some more issues with thermostat housing. Had to get one from dealer. Improvised hcv till new one comes in.

Power steering filter after 5 days in diesel. Not quite sure what po used as oil, bit all taken care of now....

Ac system finally completed. Aftermarket from 80s.. guy who solved, fixed, rebuilt it said this was his family's work. His grandfather installed the ac system years ago. That family owned and operated business goes back a way.. haha.

Still needs a few things, but driving as of today runs like a champ. Can't thank @cruiseroutfit enough with the parts i couldnt get in jordan.

now on to touring and shipping.
