The rear corners are ready for production. Just waiting for you people to group up?

My corners are OK but I'll be needing the part under the tailgate. Specifically the one under the truck if they are two separate pieces.

Let me know on cost and if that specific peice is going to be made.

I'll look closely at my LV today and see how the rear corners are but I think they are good still.

Not dead at all.. As dead as the interest is, I would say. .. I am ready to start production pending on orders.

I'm in on the rear part under the tailgate but the ribbed sides seem to be OK. When I have my LV in the shop where I can start beating on the metal I'll know better.

I'll need to know within a few months if this is going to happen because if not I'll need to fab it up myself. I'd need to be able to pick it up in the summer of '08.

I would like at least 1 set of QTR. panels and 1 rear. Who do I pay?

Status? I've started the process of getting rid of the bondo so I can see what's left behind. The ribbed sides look OK but someone has tried patching the lower corner and I definitely need the part below the tailgate.

I'm hoping to be doing this in the next little while so I'd like to know what's happening. If it's not going anywhere I'll need to get this made up here in Guatemala, if it's in process I'll get on board.

I'll post some pics of my truck a little later today and you can see what I'm facing.

Eshan, what happens for shipping outside of the USA (my FJ45LV is in Guatemala)?

The first two pictures are of the part under the tailgate which definitely needs to be replaced. The third photo is the left hand rear quarter where it has been patched. The patch will need to be redone or the quarter replaced.

 

[cruiser_guy]

Here's some more photos. First from the left side quarter panel. It looks good until the ribs end but there is not the step that Eshan has on his that I'm thinking may have been trimmed off.

The last photo is the right side rear quarter and by the looks of the backside I think it has been replaced at some point in the past. The red arrows are where there are joints that do not appear on the left side. I have not removed the bondo from this side yet.

So Eshan, do you have a set of 1/4's and the rear sill that you could send to me in Guatemala and if so PM me the price and method of payment. Our nearest airport is La Aurora in Guatemala City. I'll be either getting these from you or making them up in the next few weeks. My truck has a tailgate rather than barn doors so the rear sill needs to accomodate that. If you need more photos I can provide whatever you need.

I'm looking to get moving on this either as part of a group or on my own. I've PM'd folks who've posted up here, except for Mikesta, since he's getting out of LV's, to see who's in and who's out. I want to be getting something in motion by the end of this month or I'll be going solo and there'll be one less guy for a group buy then.

If you're interested PM me NOW!!

 

[crosscreekjoe]

I am going to want a set also, just let me know. thanks

 

[cruiser_guy]

There seems to be a rather underwhelming response to folks who are interested. I'm going to gather together all who have responded to my PM's and see if Eshan is willing to cut a deal for the few of us interested.

 

[cruiser_guy]

Eshan, can you let me know if we can get these? I definitely want a set and it seems as others do to. PM me with contact info as I'd like to get this moving now (at least for me).

If necessary I may get in of a group buy and figure out how to get these down here later.

 

[mderrick]

lets start this up again, what repro part do people need?
i ma hearing rear quaters, and rear sill, i also am in need of rockers who if any has thes in good shape and what would we want reproduced?

 

[DomSmith]

Is it just me or does Ehsan need a welders helmet?! Hopefully he's just squinting for a quick tac, but damn, I'd like to see those guys with some protection... For all the nice stuff I hear about coming this way maybe a good Miller would be nice to send there, eh?

 

[cruiser_guy]

There seems to be a little interest this time. Anyone on the West Coast able to receive and distribute these? I DESPERATELY need a set as well as the entire sill piece as shown in my photos.

Anybody??

I really cannot see ten folks ordering these but possibly five folks. Mikesta and ColoCruiserJeff are out of LV's so that's three potential buyers gone.

Merbesfield, mderrick and I sound like we're in. Anyone else? Let's see if we can make this happen PLEASE!

 

[merbesfield]

CCJeff is in the shipping business. Maybe he could help us get a cheap shipping rate?

 

[ehsankiani]

Ok. I am still willing to go ahead with this but I will need at least 5 sets ordered. I can take individual orders but shipping costs would mean that all have to be shipped to one place and then redistributed. This has, however been said before as well. I wish I had warehousing facility in the states where I could store and distribute our products myself.

[cruiser_guy]

Eshan, can this include the sill pieces as well for the tailgate model? If so, and you need measurements, just ask! I can even completely remove that section from my truck and give you cross sections, whatever you need.


So, merbesfield, mderrick are you in?? If so we need at least two more! Maybe Gene "landcruiserjunkie" or??? I've PM'd 3-4 folks that I know of that might be interested. We're going to have to "sell" these if we want them ourselves!

Charles, I emailed you. I'm almost on the west coast and could recieve and re-ship.
