Goebs.........brief hijack.........the 69 has the holes in place for the shoulder seat belt attachment....as does the 74; what you have to do is drill for the retractable portion low down on the "B" pillar if you want to use original pig retractables like I did........check out posts 40 to 50 on the Shoulder Seat Belts thread..........HTH; hijack over!

Lou, are you that old?
So I spent the day finishing the Firewall Ceramic coating and then shot the first coat of the Stectrum Sound Deadening , I'll shoot one more coat this weekend.

New Roof Rack Project

I am going to Duarbak my floors and call an end to the floor project and while I'm waiting for the Durabak to arrive .....I just received one of those Bi-Fold ATV Ramps that are being converted into roof racks. This one was extended and is for an 80. I will extend mine but it will have a full floor. Purchase price for the ramp from Discount Ramps (Ebay) was $84.00. If you have not seen the build , Do a search in the 80 section and type in Moose.

I think its a undercoating gun, Second Skin sells it.

The Gun

Here's a photo of the gun, it comes with a bottle that attaches to the bottom. The 3m rust fighter also screws right on which I'll shoot in the rear cargo panels

I just took some time to scroll through every page of your write up and I have to say that you have the best looking, most impressive FJ55 I have ever seen. Nicely done. You must be proud.

 

[Luke111]

Thanks SuperT, very proud and very broke. All I wanted was a 4 speed trans and re-wiring the lights and then the sickness hit me. I called my father and told him I bought a 74 Land Cruiser and he said it reminded him of the guy that bought a boat with a hole in it, I didn't understand, and he said the guy kept putting money in the hole and never filled it up!
He's 83 years old, never restored a car and I'll never show him this thread , because the holes not filled yet.

Epoxy Foor paint

Maybe I'll repaint the truck, The white is great for hiding all the dings and dents and I just wanted it done.

Finished my floors this evening, I used Epoxy concrete floor paint.

Helluva thread!

 

[Lucy_FJ55]

How many layers do have on the floor now? Is this it? Mats?

Its got to be sooo much quieter now.

Seven , 2 Speedliner, 1 Dynamat 1 Ceramic, 2 Spectrum, 1 Epoxy Paint. I have Dynapad and Heatwave from Secondskin and Black rubber mat. I may forgo the pad and heatwave (use it on the roof) and just put down the rubber mat. It should be pretty quiet

Moose Rack

Got started on the rack. Drilled and bolted together and used washers to cover the gap. I left the hinges on which left this small gap. These small holes will be welded closed otherwise water will get trapped inside the rack. More to come.
