Love your build! Does Toyota still have the wipers in stock?

Thanks, I’m not sure, we’ve had them for over a year.

The part number was still available a couple of weeks ago online. I need new blades on my 40 currently, I've had them open and in the cart on a tab on my laptop, I just haven't gotten around to paying for them yet.

Edit,

More things checked off the list.

Windshield washer bottle had to be relocated to rad support. @Coolerman sent an extension pigtail(none of the original harness has been cut). Squirter is operational and aside from the wire clamps on the inside of the windshield, wiper system is complete.

Rear heater is in place(not plumbed).

And getting ready to do an oil change.

Been a busy few months. FJ60 alt isn’t putting out enough power, even with a modified pulley or bumping idle up.

Thanks to @Coolerman and @FJ40Jim ‘s details on the 80 amp FJ80 alt, we now have high 13s at idle with headlights and blower on.

Also- we have a celebrity that’s joining us for April.

Only in the same sense that “Festus” was a celebrity. Same grizzled exterior, awkward gait and a “month on the trail“ lingering scent….

In fact, I may have just claimed that name for the Mule. Let it be written, let it be done…

Highjack over….

Amazing build. I know it is a lot of work to document something like this, but thanks for doing so. It makes for a great read!

Thank you. My goal with the thread is to be able to contribute back to the Mud community.

We punted on the clear wrap and went with Mossy Oak.

I‘ve got to see this before you ship it off to the Smithsonian.. Maybe get a picture standing next to it just to prove the “Legends” are true…

For the localish mudders, we are going to hit the Canton Cars and Coffee 4/22. Anyone else planning or able?
