Project FJ By 16 year old and Schmukster

One more. Amby doors waiting for their weatherstripping to be glued on before I do the final alignment they are close but not quite finished. The frame and running gear are 77 but the tub is from a 72. In order to use the passenger side spare tire carrier we moved the license plate mounting bracket from the pass door to the driver door. The license plate bracket itwelf was blasted and painted and new OEM lights and hoods installed. How about that classic Conferr bumper!

Well we stubbed our toe a bit on this one, check out this thread: Need help/direction with top and door fitment problem All is well and if there are no glitches I believe she'll be on the road and ready for state inspection tomorrow!

We have it done for now... I had to replace the fuel pump already. I have driven it daily for about a week. Already changed the look a little by spraying the wheels black with a plasti dip spray.

Does anyone know what brand of sliders/side rails those are?

You may want to take that rear mat out during the winter. One of mine had a mat and it was very rusty underneath.

Looks fantastic!

Does anyone know what brand of sliders/side rails those are?

They are made by White Knuckle Off Road. Here is a link to them. Toyota FJ40/BJ40 Rock Sliders

Thank you!

Those side rails are awesome and look way better installed than I would have thought. They are mounted to the frame with screws going into drilled and tapped holes, they are fully removable. They're both strong and good looking, very nice product.
