C,
Not sure? Did the PO to K ever swap them out due to damage or maybe it was the later 62s that had the bulb seal.

Unfortunately I am only slowly piecing together this cruiser's history before K bought it 10 years ago. She didn't ask the PO anything about it when she bought it.
I do know it had a small front end collision due to the s***ty MAACO paint job and bondo coated front valence and dented bumper. Maybe they replaced them during the paint job?... but I doubt it. Maybe @beno has some knowledge on when the bulb seal made its first appearance?

Per the online parts catalog, the part numbers changed in 8/88 and again in 10/88. http://toyota.7zap.com/en/us/land+cruiser/791430/fj62lg-pnea/3/6451/mbl985c/#62311B

Good to know. Poor early 62's. We got ripped off with the no rear shoulder belts and now no extra bulb seal!
Well, here they are! Looks like flares might be in order. New Toyo 285/75R17's. The old set go onto the BJ74 now.
And yes, that is close to a meter of electrical tape holding the mirror on, plastic mirror vs northern willow, not much of a contest

Damn those look good... Really do like the SCS wheels and like that he is making them for 60s now (well with proper backspacing I should say). One of the other things on my To-Do List when my tires need to be replaced in about 4yrs.
After 3 months and 2 days at the paint/body shop, I finally get a sneak peak at my new 60.....well, new as in fresh paint and all rust cut out with new metal welded in! Unfortunately, he only sent one grainy photo to me. But will be picking it up tonight! Super excited, and I apologize in advance for the obscene amount of photos that will be taken and posted in the very near future!!
We like obscene numbers of photos. I think I like your color choice but it needs a beach background to be up to your usual standards. Definitely better than white though!

Yeah was going to say.... I don't think there is anyone here that doesn't like obscene amounts of pics!!
OME medium in front heavies in rear. It sits the way it is now cause there are 5 toyo mt's on steel rims in the back. That makes about 575 lbs, plus 50 lbs of tools and gear. Rear winch and bumper
HEY MAN!!!! I ORDERED THOSE SEAT COVERS FROM CRUISER CORPS THIS LAST WEEKEND!
How do you like them? They looked like great quality to me online and I couldn't find a review of them on here. Also got a new seat cushion from specter, I hope that fits in well, fingers crossed. BUT HOW DO YOU LIKE THOSE SEAT COVERS IM CLEARLY EXCITED FOR??????

I had a local shop make these for me. Don't get me started on those pricks.... They are slightly different than those, but I ordered the fabric from CC and I bought 4 way stretch vinyl from a marine place in Florida.
I've used the CC covers before and they are a good cover for the price.

Yup... cant decide between the F5 or the Stealth 6, either would be in the bronze matte color!
