Not that bad honestly. The worst part was having to cut one of my 12mm wrenches in half to get to the 4 mounting bolts and the easy outs I needed to get the stripped screws one of the previous owners left in it.
Nice job, great ColorSyncA pic of the side bolsters added to seat backs.
Finished seats
First impressions from test drive. Love it. Night and day difference. Granted I have not done any 8 hour drives yet, but so far loving it. Very firm, but not rock hard. Much more supportive - actually feel like I am sitting in a seat not on top of the corner of a lumpy old metal box spring mattress. No more needing to lean when I take a corner. Additional bolster build on bottom and seat back feels good. Feels like I got a suspension upgrade too
On to the next project...

Glad you made it back safe! Take care of the old truck, It's approaching "survivor" status.

They are not hard. Just take pictures so you know how everything goes back together.

Went camping. Old stove kicked, wood got wet, went home early. No biggie.
Hey, Red66toy...how much square footage did you need to do it? Looking to do the same and was wondering how much to order? Let me know your thoughts! Thanks.Finally finished the quiet crap install. Talk about a project not to do in the summer! I probably lost 10pounds in water/sweat. At least I know the foil backing works well.Now comes the CCF then the MLV!

See I was able to take mine off just fine. Maybe that is the difference with all the smog stuff removed.
Well I didn't have any wrenches short enough to get between the valve cover and the passenger side nuts, so out came the hacksaw to sacrifice my cheapest 12mm. (I think I have something like 6 of them at this point...
) But not having the air injection rail in the way could certainly have made them easier to reach.
@The Machinist Did you get it smog? Glad you got the carb done i'm sure it will make a difference.

True, no air rail and the valve cover off make a big difference I am sure.
Have not had time to take it down and get it tested yet, but I'm not making any bets....

Hey there,
So I used about 50sqf, but I covered more than you technically need to. I ordered 100sqf of the 80mil and have some left over, which is good because I still need to put some in the doors.
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!!
Just change rims and tires.

Still really like the look of the FZJ80 rims on the 60.
Had new lines to the rear heater fab'd up to replace corroded ones.

Ooh very nice and shiny!!! Mind if I ask how much they set you back? Debating on deleting the rear heater this year.
I gave $50 for 20' 1/2" of copper line at the Home Depot. Guy at the Hydraulic Supply House charged me $30 to bend and crimp. $80 not too shabby. OEM is 13mm but hard to come by in the U.S. I thought about deleting mine too, but in the end, had to stay OG.
New member here, didn't see a better place to post this, though it's a tech forum it's what I did with my 62 this past weekend; took her back out Anza-Borrego for the umpteenth time. A few photos from the trip:
