That turned out gorgeous!

Thanks, but it is not quite done, I am in the middle of designing a roof rack, side rails, while I go over the electrical system, then interior.

By the way, anyone know where Incan find the fabric used in the fj60 and fj62?

Well, quick update.

With everything slowing down due the COVID-19, no better time to gut the interior and do preventive work... I finished laying down a rust preventor/encapsulator paint, which will be followed by a sound proofing paint, then a light coat of bed liner paint in a tan color to somewhat match the outside. I still need to do the inside wells of the rear end with the rust preventor paint.

Then, I will mock up the rear seat, as I am "sacrificing" half of it to give me a bit more "cargo room." I usually go out by myself on the truck, so, going from a 4 seater to a three seater is not too bad. And the space can be well used for stereo equipment also...

What size tires have you got on in this pic? Also, Dobinson's 65mm springs in the rear?
