Yeah, that's not good!!

So the threat is pretty much living up to its name. It was difficult but I found the plate for the power steering pump.
The number three emissions hose has extensive rust on it and it's long been discontinued. Put some rust neutralizer on it, checked vaccum and painted it. It seems like an easy enough bend if I need to re-create it.

Finally getting to the two axles, getting fresh paint job and new parts if I need them. Found a product that gets rid of the rust. Going to give it a try.

Which emmisions pipe is number 3?

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

The best I can deduce about the reason for this line is to add extra time for cooling of the gases before it gets to the charcoal can. There's already a 7 foot run with 77255 (#2 tube) and this adds about 7 more feet.

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

Check with Beno on these as well. I have seen him post these straps before on a different thread. He always has good prices.

jfnall,
You don't happen to work at Global Expedition Vehicles do you? Your city is very familiar to me.

 

[jfnall]

Yes same city. I do not work there, but I pass there business all the time, and see them running the rigs around every town now and then. Always puts a smile on my face.

Working on finishing up the rest of the upholstery. Back windows,windshield stuff like that. Used gorilla glue for the vinyl adhesion to the body. works really well.

Only had one electrical gremlin for the entire build. My back running lights aren't working. Discovered that one connection is just corroded to all hell. Need to rewire it.

I may have missed it above but what brand headliner is that ?

 

[micruz60]

Yeah that blue connector crumbles away...
But like everything else, you'll fix it better than new!

I took the old headliner down and had an upholster shop in Indy remake it. The vinyl they had was a little bit thicker than the original liner. Carpet padding is on the ceiling with industrial adhesive that won't release with the summer heat. After installing the rear section of the headliner first where the hatch is I noticed one very small buckle. After a week it released and evened out. I'm pretty happy with it.

Thanks. It took two large channel locks to break it apart.

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

Got the axle all prepped and painted. Running the stainless steel brake line today.

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

So I got my package from SOR today. The brown carpet set and some other stuff. Can't wait to put it in tomorrow. Thinking about getting one of the Toyota gerry cans later since I wasn't the winner at SCC when Beno raffled two off. It was envy at first sight but happy for the winners.

O and the lights worked on the first plugin.

Did you find out where those little clips on the seat came from? Took my seat out the other day and noticed them on the floor, also didn't notice where they came from.

Yeah, that's one i had to get too.
Mine was pretty rotted.
I got a beauty from fellow cruiserhead and friend i never met Godwin from an Alabammy rig.

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

Did you find out where those little clips on the seat came from?

Not yet. I remember them being on the rear seat back but nothing in lining up that makes sense. toyodiy.com, which is my resource for a lot of info yield nothing. I don't have EPC on my computer so I can't pull from there either.

Arizona and Alabama rig, completely dismantled that FJ60 and only had 2 bolts break . This one is hard to forget because it was a borderline shipping nightmare because of the odd size and shape of the package.

 

[onemanarmy]

Amazing work. glad to see another saved, and in such a detailed, proper way.

thanks for sharing the pic of the gas tank. Now I understand why I was never able to get all the rust out of mine.

So you work for 9 months and have 3 months off? Seems like a nice gig.

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

Well I got all the carpet in today and yesterday.
Finally got it cranked up as well. Although I've got a couple issues with keeping it running but I think that might be a carb issue.

Found these fasteners for the front grill. Another purchase from clipsandfasteners.com.
How many of you are running only three or four? Haha!!

Windshield guy is coming next week on Monday. Over the weekend I hope to get the two rear quarter glass and the rear hatch glass in.

 

[Cruiser Jimmy]

Oh, and I am using Kydex for the rear quarter panel's. Planning on using 6 mm nutcerts for now but potentially down the road I'll find a quick disconnect solution. Also thanks to @Aloha Jen in the 80 section there is a hatch to use as an opening for the left hand side.
