G'Day Fella's,

Thanks for confirming the cause of rust SAW.
We are so lucky here in Oz, as they usually only spread fine gravel on roads in Winter, and only in Alpine areas.

Looking Good SAW!
The Bedliner product, not only works well, it looks the part as well (including on the Sills).

I'm thinking at having Bedliner applied on the under side, of the inner guards (Sills, etc), on my BJ73.

D'oh!

Thx Homer!

At this time of year it`s not only the lack of salt I envy u down under, guess it`s the opposite of winter there too! Cold and about 0,5m snow and snowing as I`m writing, brrr...
A great idea to use bedliner everywhere extra protection is needed. At one point I considered using it on my flooring instead of the carpets.


And then over to some pics.

Earlier this autumn I received an email with this:

Hurried over to the shop where w fully printed set was ready for my approval:

I must admit that I liked it alot. Looking very similar to the ones Mr. T delivered back in 87.

Then it was made an appointment for my LJ:

And sticked to the car it looks like this:

More pics. My LJ has got aftermarked fender flares. That`s why the stickers goes under the flares, this is what my car looked like when new:

So that`s it, thanks for watching. Feel free to comment etc. :beer:
 
Thx!

Chased down an oem altimeter for the dashboard. Since its supposed to be installed where my cup holder currently sits I had to do some minor changes.

Made myself a new cupholder to sit on my new centerconsole. First in cardboard, then final in aluminum. Easy material to work with.
