Hey J
Do you have the fuel sender adapter ready for purchase for the different fuel sender and Speedhut Gauges?
Thanks
Jason

I posted up on the other thread. 3 of the 5 holes line up perfect. All you need to do is open up two holes on the floatless sender unit head and it'll bolt up.

Maybe I’m missing something.
Didn’t you make an adapter for that sender to the stock tank???

No... just open up two holes on the sender unit head and it'll bolt directly to the stock tank. No need for an adapter, just mod the head.

Thanks J
I could have done this weeks ago...

I thought you the fuel sender needed an adapter :rofl:

A couple of people have inquired about another AC Bezel run/order... Well more than likely there won't be one.

We had 230 people on the list and 32 buyers.. It's a one hit (one run) wonder.... So unless its our idea we will more than likely NOT make anything based on the "wants" of the mob ever again. It used to be a good practice but those days are long gone it seems.

I ordered 60 bezels from my partner shop as that was our agreed upon minimum run and those are getting ready for production. I will let everyone know when they are done and shipped out in a few more weeks.

I'll decide when I'll release the remaining overrun bezels.

Been a long day... We just added another 4000 sq ft to the Trail Tailor footprint. Lots of back and forth with the landlord and walking out the floorplan.

The mechanic shop is already too full and with all the upcoming work we needed the extra room. We'll transition this over the course of a week/long weekend to make down time as short as possible.

Adding at least one more lift and a dedicated cleaning and build up area for axles, gear swaps, transmission and transfer case rebuilds.

Also have about 150' long x 10' high run of pallet racking for fabrication overflow materials and inventories.

Small fabrication area will be in this new unit as well for the mechanical swaps and custom parts needed. Looking to add a small 4 x4 plasma table and move my smaller 100 ton x 48" brake over and get a new/er 100 ton x 96" Amada for the main shop.

Thanks for all the support guys!

You'll see it first. We take possession in late March/early April, but it's the machinist unit on the corner.

@DougRFJ62 is back from Reeves Tint. Out with the purple tint and in with the 3M tint.

This tint is crystal clear. Amazing the difference it makes with a quality tint.

30% tint on all glass.

congrats on the business growing well enough to warrant more shop space

FJ60 is a fishbowl. I want 3M ceramic too.

chelo · Feb 18, 2020

3m is cool. I have it on my 80 all around and xpel on my other ride. They are both good quality.

Nice, about time I do this. Moved from WA down here to CA and it might juuuust be the year for tint. Any idea of a tint job cost for a 60?

The 3M Ceramic is pricey but for the heat and UV its great and IMO the best film out there. This one will see quite a bit of time in the Death Valley and SoCal heat. Every shop is different on what they charge. The old film was a booger to get off on this one. They had it for 2.5 days and a majority was removal and cleanup.

Reeves has done 12 car tint jobs and 3 store front tints for me over the past 2 years. The owner is OCD and a great person. They treat us well.

Pics on MUD do not give the real feel. My sliders arrived today. OMG these are stout! No question about it, these will support the whole truck and not just protect the rocker panel. If that bastard in the Subaru at the grocery store slams their door open it your 60, they will be sorry...
