That is funny...... Yeah, it was strange with FOO last weekend with one camera upside down.

I don't know yet. Camera is not installed yet, but now I will be sure to test it.

Almost 200 miles on it, first new tank of gas

Been working on the Tuffy box installation. I started doing it just like I did foo; however, quickly realized the backseats would not fold up.

Decide to modify the Tuffy box. It's only brand-new once, right.

Forgot to mention that I found some new seats.

Anyone recognize what these came from?

Dang, that was fast. Got them out of a 02' boxster. Need to get an electrical wiring diagram for it though. Must of had a dozen wires going into it.

I should mention, that I ordered seat covers from Lseat for the new seats. Will fab up some brackets while we are waiting for the covers.

Here is where I spliced in the older 80 series tubing for the a/c. The pressure sensor is different on my 97 year, so I joined just before that.

First time using aluminum brazing, used forney sticks.

That is a good question. Short answer is that I got a dryer from Beno. Came from a Camry or something. Worked perfect except for the alignment pin was out of place, so I just yanked it out. I plan to do this adaption to FOO next, so i need to see if there is another dryer that fits perfect to the 93-94 land cruiser piping.

Got 200 of highway miles in. Have some driveline vibration. Very slight. I am concerned with the play on the front axle at diff. Will look into that soon.

Pulled two cars out of the mud today with boost. A Camry and a minivan. Figured it would be a jeep. Oh well.

Oops, I forgot to post pictures of the rear cargo storage. I cut out the hole for the new door, carpet cut quarter inch smaller, A little primer, and put it all together

Still looking for the right powder coat color for the TUffy box, but started working on sound deadener in doors.

@2fpower I forgot to ask you for a link to those marine covers you are using in your tailgate. I was quite impressed by that mod when we were down at the rock park !

 

[2fpower]

on ebay. I am using different sizes on Boost vs. Foo. there is more space left and right so went with a wider door for Boost, also the rod for opening the door conflicts on Foo, so shorter seems better.

Thanks to Dave, I got a nice low mileage set of 4.11 gears. They were a bit rusty so sealed them up sandblasted and painted them.
