Absolutely. He took the roof from another FRPTop and made it kind of a stacked thing. When closed, you barely can tell its a pop-top.

Well, they are generaly rare, but there are 6 or so importers here. Most of them do camper conversions of GRJs, with pop-top and interior builts. So you see more, but they are still rare. There was quite a collection on the vendor's alley and very many on the campsites. Prices from 60k to 140k or even more. Not my cup of tea. I find them so boring, I didn't even take a picture.In over 10 years of traveling to Germany (mostly in the Frankfurt area) I only saw one 70 Series and it seemed to have a permanent spot at a small used car lot.
I like the older models, with personality and probably with homemade solutions.

Drove to Hailey->Stanley, did some mtb. biking.
@Owyhee Jackass your picture confused me until I figured out you have a BOB trailer on your rack. What bike rack do you use? I'm thinking of going that way instead of my KUAT that sticks out pretty far in back.

That’s the one I have been wanting to see more pictures of. Especially the inside.
It’s seems this is the 2nd picture now floating around the net.
Took it out for a nice late summer drive before I put the top back on. The rainy season in the PNW is on its way (hopefully too, we need it).

We have been doing cerakote for awhile now with no bad results. Not doing blocks though.
Ceramic on pistons as well.

I did my pistons domes with the heat reflective cerakote and skirts with the anti friction cerakote. The $35 4 oz sample bottle will probably do 20 pistons and you can in fact brush it on............Point is it doesn't have to be as expensive, complicated as some will make it.
This is not the result of today but I just made a time lapse from about one year product design and fabrication of our needed items to turn our 78 series as an ultimate overlander home on wheels,
Pls see below time lapse video and see the end result :

ist this a " safety " bullbar ?
Drove it to the annual Seattle Cruiserheads BBQ. There were two 70-series this year.
Also as a bonus a friend showed up with my old FJ40 and we compared them side by side

I think its the angle for sure. Though the 40 has a 4" lift and 33's and the 73 has a 2" lift and 245/75r16's (30's basically).
Wanted to lube the speedometer cable. It makes a constant vibrating noise when driving. And also clean while i'm here. But how the hell do i get to the cable from here without disassembling the whole cab. Afraid of breaking some of that fragile plastic.

You didn’t have to go that far. The whole thing with clear cover will come out enough to reach and unclip the speedometer cable.
your a gluton for punishment jkrenzen, removing the spedo cluster is literally a 5 min job and that includes a beer break
The speedometer cable unclips from the back of the gauge cluster, allowing the cluster to be removed as a single unit. Here is the process: 70 series dash removal - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/70-series-dash-removal.1122009/post-12179050
i know but i wanted to clean behind the cover. I can't get my hands behind it to unclip anything.
