Couple of small things, but felt like huge accomplishments! First off, I installed some JDM spec rear b-pillar handles. Stupid easy. Found everything needed in here:

Grab Assist Installation

**Thanks to Cruiserdan for the grab handles** I'm going on a trip with some friends in my truck and his wife is petite so I installed the A-pillar and B-pillar grab assist handles on my FJ-60 this morning. The B-pillars already has the threaded holes in the pillar so that was a snap using a...

And secondly, I installed some IPF Lights that I had picked up from @cruiseroutfit. Lights are fantastic with the 100w bulbs in them. Wired up a decent switch, that fit in the center console with some, uh, light massaging. The wording lights up with the dash lights, and the upper logo lights up when it's powered on.

Ahh too bad. I have a spare fog light switch for 62's. The logo is rubbed off but it's a two position fog/driving light switch. Are those the IPF968s?

Well that would have been really cool 😂 Yeah they are. I didn't want LEDs, where my headlights are still halogen. But I'm pretty dang happy with them!
 
That’s hot
 
Technically it's not part of my 60.. yet.. but tonight I made a block-off plate to cover the oil level sensor hole in the new oil pan. My engine doesn't have that sensor and I definitely don't need it in a 60, but as far as I can tell you can't get this pan without that hole anymore. (This is going on a 1HZ)

There are compatible block-off plates for sale online that are marketed for 3sgte and 1fz-fe's but they all seem to use an o-ring instead of the Toyota compression style seal. At least on my oil pan, the plate that the sensor bolts to is not sealed to the sidewall of the pan so if you don't have a seal that compresses against the pan, it would almost certainly leak.

Nice work D. OCD is is top notch, even the bolts are in perfect alignment. 👍🍻
 
Finished putting on my Ironman lift (all but the rear shocks, bushings were too big). Its funny how a 2 inch lift will actually lift a 250k mile rig 4 inches.


Now onto figuring out why my taillights and dash lights don't work. I'm suspecting a bad taillight relay.
