Haven't done much to the FJ35 transformation in the last 9 months, but I've started to do a little in the last few weeks.

Put my "Non-Toyota" Toyota heater in and it's real nice to have heat and defrost.

How does installing a Non-Toyota heater make this 45 a little more 35? It doesn't, but check out the cluster in this pic ...

... and then this one. Jim sent me this to put in my 40 a long time ago. Actually, it's a combo of a '59 25 cluster and my '65 cluster. Man am I glad I waited and didn't stick this in the 40. Thanks again Jim.

This has really inspired me to pull everything out and paint the dash and do it up right.

67K on the clock, not bad. :D You'll have to repaint it to match the dash though. :D
 
Yeah, now that my wagon only has 67,000 miles on it, it even runs better.
 
Must be why I called myself Cruiser Nerd.................
Wife leaning over my shoulder instantly asks..........."Who's that on the left?" :rolleyes:
 
That's my "Pin Up Girl" (my wife at 19).
 
Why do I want to lose the ash tray; I'm guessing it wasn't on the 25s right? What was the first year the ash tray appeared?

I'll bet the 35 didn't have the 4W Low vacuum shift lever either.
Not that I'm even thinking about changing that.

Yours isnt correct but I think it was a dealer option. A-1's and Phil's tub both had the same ash tray that was attached to the bottom of the dash.

and Koito's are cool! They have any more?

You do know you send a Koito headlight out to me with that radiator support from the 60 you parted out right? I MIGHT be able to get it back from the dude I sold it to if you ask nicelike. :D

I have these on my 40, best part is they are yellow and true E-codes.......the bulbs were a bitch to track down.........but now I own the last of the yellow oddball bulbs in the world ;)

Gene, the cluster thread reminded me............you need to change to the FJ25 housing and face.................body color, without the cutout for the column shifter. :D
