A huge shout out to @joekatana .
I have been staring at a cigarette burn in the driver's seat bottom in my BJ74 for over 11 years. The interior in this thing is in very good condition and the only blemish has been that burn. Joe had an almost perfect seat, with the correct upholstery, in his seat pile.
His came out of a European BJ71 so it was not exact but close enough. Being a left-hand drive, this is a passenger's seat so it had way less wear.
My original seat also had a damaged seat back adjuster. I took Joe's bottom assembly and seat back adjuster and married it to my rails and perfect seatback.
Thank you Joe!

The stopgap adjuster I had only reclined to this position. That one came out of a German 75 Series pickup.

It's amazing how much difference that makes.
Those wheels are yummy... until you need to have tires mounted on them AND you want to put them on a 7x. The backspace is too deep (spacers are needed) and mounting tires is a HUGE pain in the ass. Be sure to have multiple extra O-rings on hand before you start. Been there, done that. Never again.
HARD PASS for me.
Looks awesome. I want turbo seat covers now. Ha!

I realize this isn’t a U.S. thing or a U.S. vehicle for that matter, but what’s up with this light. Is it market specific? Does it illuminate with the headlights?
Rear fog light, much brighter than normal tail lights for low light condition, required in the UK and EU. Only turns on via a separate switch with sidelights and higher.
Most manufacturers only put one on, fitted to the drivers side. Some cheap manufacturers also only put on one, but this time in the centre to avoid the need for retooling.
Who makes these mats?

Went outside for a bit
can you detail a bit on how you replace the mirror?
I am also planning to do it on my lj73
The outside door mirror, correct? Very simple on mine as they are not powered mirrors. Just the two JIS screws per side
Ignore the above answer, sorry. You meant the inside mirror.
It has a cover that pops off with a flat blade tool and JIS screws underneath to hold it on.
