Ordered a set of replacement carbonate windows and rubber gaskets from @cruiserloser. Highly recommend any one needing replacements should give serious thought to purchasing these. Last pick shows how badly the plastic windows had discolored.

Scored a Craigslist deal today. Warn 8274 winch with the right amount of patina was for sale in a small town about an hour away. I had purchased the mounting plate and bumper support from @powthief19 a couple months ago. A really nice fit and I like the way the winch sits in behind the bumper.
Link to plates and supports.

Changed out the canvas on the doors. I soaked the new, heavier weight canvas in a large batch of tea for 5-6 hours to take away some of the new brightness. I think maybe I should rub some dirt on the doors to more closely match the top.
A quick explanation of re-skinning the doors. I cut the slots in the canvas for tabs on the baton and then used a light coat of contact cement to help secure it. At the bottom of the door I stapled the end of the canvass to a small board and then rolled it up. I then put some vise grips on it to give me something to hang some weight on it. This kept the canvas fairly taught in one direction. I then worked down the sides, pulling it tight and installing the trim pieces.

There’s a 16” version that fits the FJ25 wheel I just mounted a couple weeks ago. My favorite tall skinny tire so far!

Decided that while I was away training for a new job that I would send Tink off to have the engine, transmission and transfer case worked on by Red Line Land Cruisers. Received about 400 pictures of the process from Justin. Picked just a few showing the highlights. The internals were in pretty good shape considering how old the truck is. Lots of bearings were missing. Parts that were worn beyond tolerances, Justin had replacements in stock. That sped up the whole process.
