Day 193

I literary cashed in my piggy bank. I had an old water cooler bottle that I have been saving my left over change in for the past 20 plus years, luckily my bank counts change for free. I ended up with a few hundred pounds of change that I converted to rims and tires.

I went with 17 X 9 Mickey Thompson Classic Lock wheels wrapped in 37 X 12.5 X 17 Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Absolutely sick!!

 

[Senor Aguas]

Wow nice build!

Where can I get one of those 12V/USB receptacles like you have in your console? I need one!!!

 

[Mcgyver24]

Thanks everybody for all the support!

@Senor Aguas, I got mine either from Ebay or Aliexpress. I think it was $5-6 shipped.

Day 194

I removed the key ignition system in my tilt column and installed a push button. I then wired the push button to a Toyota Prius control module for ACC, start and stop. Next I installed a wood grain steering wheel from Grant. Then I finished mounting and hooking up the rear heater.

Been a while since I commented on your build...This is freaking exellent!!!! The truck is beautiful. Makes me want to restore my 78 40 just to this type of exellence, but I don't think I have that kind of talent..or imagination...just freakin' beautiful...

I started on my gauges, my plan is to replace each gauge with an electric one that will work with my current application. The first one I tackled was a GM fuel gauge. OldàNewàCompleted

great build, just wondering where did you get the gauges you used in the cluster, I know you had to mod them to fit, just wondering where you got them??

 

[Mcgyver24]

Fellow Mudders….Thank you very much for all the support, it keeps me going!!!

@RAYJON, thanks, I picked up the gauges at the following places below. Let me know if you have any other questions.

This build is truly the eighth wonder of the world. Your attention to detail is amazing, I thought I had a bad case of OCD, not anymore. I love how you are quick to answer members questions, thanks for the informative posts and raising the perfection bar another notch!

Great work, very nice build.
Every time I read your post I get pissed, cause the bar keeps moving up.

Keep up the great work, gives us all ideas to add to our builds. I already bought my 3x5x1/4" tube to shamelessly copy your bumper design.

Yer getting close to that magic day you start it and go cruising. I have been watching you building this for close to 2 years now I think... been a very nice journey. I am a purest and at first was kind of turned off by your complete overhaul - but your quality of work and infusion of your own personal touch has really inspired me and you have done the FJ-40 well. I thank you sir.

Day 201

Thank you for all the kind words!

I found some cheap floor mats from Costco and thought I would give them a try. After trimming them down they seem to be a great fit, not bad for $13.
