First sorry I’ve posted this in a couple other spots on the forum, getting used to it hope I haven’t over posted. I’ll do one here for my MT folks.
After removing wood and seeing the 16 holes and adhesive, etc... I found a local fella to work on that for me (was more than I’m equipped to handle). He ended up filling and blending. He worked hard on it and did a nice job. While I waited I did basically what I could: oil, spark plugs, diffs, man trans fluid, transfer case fluid, trans to diff by pass hose, rear seat belts from CCOT (one was broken), removed gun rack bolted to floor ( for sale if any interest), filled the six holes w quick steel, gas pedal pad (CCOT), and replace the two hood gaskets that we’re open was it while I waited. Got hood Tuesday. She’s rolling again. Got wifey up to top of Langhor last night. I do have some 033 being mixed up for the bezel. I realize the bezel is a touch tanner than the 033 roof, but’s it’s darn close, I can also use it for roof gutter touch up, and it should be close to the original color (maybe if I don’t lay it on too thick a touch of off white will remain?), let me know if you think using that on the bezel is dumb. I’d like to do my best keeping it as close to original as is practical. I will need some tires before too long, but cant swing it right now and I’d like to get rid of the goody after market Sony tape deck and pioneer speakers that attached to the inside of the roof at rear and they don’t work anyway. I will check for a radio spot cover from the cruiser shops. I found a ton of help here on mud over the past month while I obsessed over each job and potential job, thanks for that
. Also, saw a nice green 40 coming up the canyon as we exited last night. Fog lights with some diamond plating on rear. Nice to see ya! Here a few update pics:
