First drive in months and used it for poop duty! Headed to the Seattle zoo to pick up compost! hahahaha
The poo went into containers inside, not just on floor of the cruiser.

WG, I will meet with the gasket maker next week to review things and see if there is a better material than what I have found. They will make a die and stamp a couple for me to look at. If everything is good they will stamp out an order for me. I will also offer with 316 SS or Black zinc allen head screws as well.
Hope to know more in the coming week.

Yesterday my cousin was gonna paint the roof of his '83 and I was gonna install the Hella foglights on my '85 but it was mixed rain and snow so we drove mine up to Silverton for lunch at the Kendall Mtn. Cafe. Great ruebens and really great fries. Of course none of the 4wd trails are open up there yet so it was an all-pavement all the time venture.
Yeah, I need to finish mine up before the weather's too hot. The way it's going Utah might be fall. Needed room for trans and PS coolers in front of the AC condenser.
I changed the look of the grill to work with my lights. It's much better than the first I built for my other 60 in 2003. I used some of the same drawings but tidied them up for easier reproduction. I cheated on the first one by using expanded metal and bolting the Toyota grill emblem from an FJ40 to it. Incorporating it into the drawing saves time and money. Here's the two "looks".......... I'll post the powder coated results later
this was near enumclaw / greenwater area. i hang out around there on the weekends
Personally I agree. My younger employee's more into the symbol. They say it looks updated. Of course my truck is five years older than him so what's he know.

I'm officially old I guess...I hate the Toyota symbol. Seeing the Toyota on the 4Runner TRD made that thing look 100x better.
I'm sure there's a need for a grill like this with V-8 /auto swaps. I struggled with too many trying to cram trans coolers and such between the stock grill and condenser. When I did them one off it was a " build then trim to fit thing " . I made about a dozen changes to the drawings ,
now it's as easy as the factory to install

I guess I'm old too. I cut 7 grills with the TOYOTA and one with the " whatever it is " symbol

Nice grill,I like the TOYOTA as well, over the ugly symbol. I think that grill would look clean if it was dipped in chrome over just all black,IMO. Old school is the best school...
Shake down run of about 80 miles round trip at highway speeds, overall went well but really need to fix the EGR J pipe gasket as that was driving me nuts.
I wanted to mount a highlift to my ARB rack but they don't make a mount.
Yakima does. I thought it was not going to work as the vertical bars on the Baja Basket it was designed for keep it stable.
Worked fine.
