Boy, she's looking pretty good with a new paint!
I'd like to suggest that you start a "Build" thread to document everything you'll be doing to it. Then it's cataloged all in one place especially if someone really likes the type of build you're doing and wants to follow your thread. Doing so will add a gray oval "Build" tag to your thread. Then just post anything/everything you do to the 'ol girl.
Curious, is there still the "Bruiser" letters on the left rear hatch?

I think I’m going to do that and do a build thread on her. Although I will have to give most of the credit to you on about 90% of the build lol. You built a beautiful rig. No the BRUISER letters are gone but not by choice the body shop guy accidentally tossed them when he stripped her.

Where did you source the back one?

 

[blinder52]

Time to replace those hard and leaky power steering hoses. Well, OK, flush the system too... and that reservoir bottle’s not looking to hot either. Biggest challegne is not making a crazy mess. Then realized you can complain about the mess or realize how nice and shiny it makes everything you clean off... oh and it‘s a rust inhibitor too!
I get such a child like enjoyment positioning those Toyota hose clamps just right and pulling the keeper off.

Your Cruiser is looking good. You will like the Prinsu rack. I have really liked mine. Both looks and function.

My Prinsu rack went on pretty easily. There are a lot of fasteners, so I would recommend a small impact driver. You'll also need some silicone caulk, but you probably already know that.

 

[SmokerLC]

I got the plug from amazon.

Amazon product ASIN B08837F4JK
@70fj40 Thank you , I like the clean look without too many accessories, unless really needed. And the racks look so good, I really cant wait.

@Eyedaho thanks for the heads up, I've seen a couple of them getting installed , but thanks for the reminder on the silicone caulk.


Thinking about getting exhaust done for less restriction. Open to ideas...

I have the perfect place for that.

Do you have any pics of your rig with the rack on ?
Anyone knows the diff between the Prinsu and the Prospeedrack ? they look very similar.

Sorry, I don't think I have any pics. I can take some when it's light out. I don't know if there's a lot of difference, but I only have experience with the Prinsu. I'm a little biased since they're made here in Idaho too.

All righty so I installed the OPOR sliders and gotta be honest, at first I wasn’t really feeling it but I moved the car from my lawn into the driveway and got a different perspective on it and I can say I’m digging it. (Didn’t wanna scratch up the paint on the driveway)

I think I may have installed them too close to the floor of the bottom side because when I turned on the car I swear it’s louder and I can feel the whole exhaust through the car. Any thoughts? Not a big deal if so, I can loosen them up and drop them, that’s easy.

Oh, and topped off the night with new windshield wipers.

@SmokerLC here is a few pics of mine.

 

[70 FJ40]

Since these pictures I have added a light bar to the front.

 

[Pahizzl]

Hooked up my rear view camera. Field of view is terrible. I went ahead and ordered the adjustable version.

Also hooked up a battery tender.
