Another Oregon Landcruiser come and gone... enjoyLong weekend, started Thursday 6am) with a flight to Oregon to check out a rig with fellow Mud mate Jorge (RodrigzCrzt). Complete legend for coming with me as i'm a total noob on FJ's. He checked the whole thing out, very little rust amazingly. Work to do to get it up to daily driver standard but the 14 hour drive back had no issues at all. Stopped via Valley Hybrids for some parts and made it to LA Friday at 6pm.
List for the build is growing. Most urgent matters are passing CA DMV inspection. My windshield is not in a good state and needs replacing. Also need rear three point retractable seat belts to pass the wife family wagon test! Hit me up if you know where to find FJ62 aftermarket or OEM windshield or have suggestions for sea tbelts. I'm all over Parting out, no joy yet.

Don't know if he still in business, but worth a call...My windshield is not in a good state and needs replacing.
Nice! Been thinking about removing my dash pad and fiberglassing it. This technique would look nice on a dash! And something I say in woodworking... if someone notices that TINY imperfection and calls you out then you have the right to kick them in the throat.I painted and installed my 3D printed cup holders. I used the method posted earlier in this thread by @Javelin. Had to hunt down the texture coating and the SEM paint from around here but finally found it. I actually did this once, and was minutes away from being done when while painting it I stuck my finger in the finish on accident, and made a huge mess of it. Tried to fix it but it just got worse so I had to scrape it all off, re-sand and start completely over. What a mess. I got it re-done, but as you might imagine it did not turn out quite as nice as the first time. Its not bad but could have been better. The coating is nice but you need to be conscious of how far away you hold the can to properly mimic the finish effect the other parts in the interior have. The farther away you spray it on, the rougher the effect becomes. First time around was a really good match. Second time was OK but I think I had the can out too far and the effect was a little rougher than the original parts. The color with my faded interior parts is not a perfect match but I was running out of paint having done this twice so had I had more paint I think I could have matched it better. @Javelin's was better. Close enough for me though. Maybe I'll re-do it down the road but for now this works. This is an awesome piece for anyone wanting to keep their cruiser a little more stock than those replacement center consoles but still keep your drinks in check. It really looks like what Toyota should have done from the factory. Super cool.

The sheen on the seats is how the Leather Honey Conditioner looks for a few hours...then soaks in and the sheen goes away.
Eventually, I'll post a thread on the seats with much more detail. I'm sure you noticed the side air bag. It's easy to isolate those wires so that there is never an accidental detonation/deployment.
Finally hit the paint with a clay kit and some carnuba wax. Been neglecting it since it was painted a few years ago.
Another truck w/ a TOYOTA across the side. I’m going to do mine but in an orangy red. Did you do it yourself or buy it?
