In place , right where it should be. the truck just didn’t feel right without the stamped bezel.

Before and after with the stamped bezel. Took the original off.

A perk with the stamped bezel is no worries from the “Bezel Police”

Thanks EWheeler, the old FJ60 perches were taken off and new perches were added. I can get you a picture of that if you need one.

Could you post pics of the 60 axle perches? (Sorry I searched and didn’t find them). I may have a similar situation developing…

Here ya go.

Thank you. As I understand it, the the passenger side is to close to the pumpkin for the U bolts to stay in place, so you added a top spring perch to keep it aligned? And this stopped the need to outboard the springs?

Sorry for all the questions, I’m trying to decide what way I’m going with a coming project.

 

[cppilot]

Correct

Hey Mark,
Wondering if you could post some pictures showing how and what you used to mount the mudflaps? Truck looks awesome!

Hi Mat, I’ll get you some shots tomorrow.

Hi Mat, these are the brackets we used on the other FJ45 “Sage”. I think they came from a pre 79 Hilux truck but fit perfectly.

I’ll get some photos of the red truck hopefully tomorrow.

Here ya go Mat, it’s just a small piece of sheet metal bolted up just ahead of the rear bed mount. It’s functional in that position though. Nothing special by the previous owner 20+ years ago.

That is nice and simple. Not sure I could have come up with that myself. Thanks for the pictures.
