this has been my problem - I have 12ft ceilings in the garage but the door opens into the front half of the ceiling and there’s a stupid like...2ft wide beam right down the center. So, no hard too hoist for me

I personally love this look and it came out alot better than I expected. So I'm cool with it.

Going with the Nolan Grogan look?
I hated the full body rattle can primer.
It must be exhausting driving around with your tag obscured. Do you hold the cardboard there or do you have someone else do it?
I'm right around there at 13 foot. This is my roof top tent and rack for my tacoma. I'm pulling it up with an 800lb winch. This summer I'll add another cable run to lift the fj40 top off.
Slowly making this one my own. Proper wheels and tires among other things.
Put some CCOT fenders on her 
gotta line up the fender apron better, its sitting to high. Besides that I gotta drill some holes cause it doesn’t seem to have holes for my snail style horns.
Now to figure out what color yellow this is. Might just have to ask the P.O.
In my head im debating on getting CCOTs 5 stock wheels or powder-coating the current wheels to match the bezels off whitish color.
I know its more $$$ for original style but those dog dish caps are so appealing with the pewter gray.
What do you guys think?

What an absolute noob
I think they sell tools that identify paint colors. You can also get a body shop to color match the paint for you I think.Put some CCOT fenders on her

also, dog dish caps make the truck look 10000% nicer than it actually is, although the wheels it has rn don’t look half bad either.
Well now... The Container Cruiser emerges after years of slumber. Parked in 2014.
A spot of rust here and there but looking on the bright side, maybe Nolan will allow me to join his Patina Association. A "Breakdown", "Accident" and "Recovery" all in one.
But for those with a keen eye. The H engine had less than 10 000km on a fresh rebuild, and full OME suspension was fitted at the same time with disc brakes all round... The leaf springs still have their stickers attached. The 4 speed gearbox and tfer case are perfectly quiet and silky smooth.
I've heard of 4 cruisers in a shed in the desert. Mechanicals are apparently wacked but no rust on the bodies and the doors, roofs etc were on the vehicles only from the factory to the farm and then hung from the shed rafters.
Now what do I do...

Just cruising down the Interstate this morning, even passed a few cars. Yep, I was just blowing the Georgia pollen off! 
Once every other month I stretch it's legs, so too speak.

Good wheels, just paint them flat grey. Get an OEM wheel for the spare. I'd do grey for the fenders, roof, and flares too.Put some CCOT fenders on her

Stock wheels for sure; you can get them from the Toyota dealer for about $100 a piece, I don't know what CCOT charges for them.
Changing my wheels (mis-matched). Bought the OEM and hubcaps (I actually have TWO set). As soon as the Mud Sloth is running, I'll get new tires mounted on the new rims.
That would be an interesting color combo
I would still have to paint/powdercoat em gray which is kinda pricey after buying 5... ccot sells them 5 for $830 also pricey but comes powdercoated in the oem gray.
Bought a Ron Davis radiator to replace the, "who knows" radiator my dad installed. It was much wider so I need to cut out the extra metal he added and the weld it back together. I don't know why there were two "tabs" cut out of the mounting frame. I filled those back in as well. Here are the parts I cut out:
Dry fit
And installed
I didn't capture it here, but I have a slight lean to the right. Hopefully some washers will correct that. Welding and grinding is fun, I just haven't mastered keeping the metal cool enough so it won't warp.

@MaltbyPenn those are some very snazzy headers on that sbc! I like’m!!
picked up some used 8.25r16 michelins locally. got the worst one mounted as a spare this afternoon. waiting for a couple tubes to come in to mount the better ones. 40 has 285/75r16s on some 7in wide rims now for reference. will have to compare to some 255/85s before installing
