Well John, here’s what was left of the top 300 miles later:

Do you know who the manufacturer was? Did you make any repairs before your trip? With my Kayline tops thread for the zippers tend to be the issue. Vinyl stored in a condition spave usually holds up well. Need to set up bows to put them on access their condition.
Beautiful
Tested out my lift. Replaced all my hard top weather stripping and put the hard top back on. Really thinking about going with a soft top next year. I think my 73 may have been a fst. It has the vador light so close enough for me. Lift worked great. Best $150 I ever spent.

This top was two-of-two, custom made out of genuine military cotton canvas about twenty years ago. So it was bound to fatigue faster than a vinyl impregnated material. One of my high-end customers bribed me into turning one of my sets of bows loose by offering to pay for them AND gift me a top. Unbeknownst to me, MY top was the guinea pig for the canvas guy. The customers top was a much better fit.
When the customer ended his midlife crisis and sold the truck, the FST didn’t end up being part of the deal, so he sold me back the bows for what he paid and gifted me the second top. I don’t remember what happened to the first one, but @Texican watched me put a hole in this one on my maiden voyage to the Lone Star Roundup in 2005.
And yes, I patched the top before I left, and my patch held. A pinhole in the roof spider webbed like a cracked windshield.
I grabbed at the fabric directly over me as the split went from side to side. The fabric I grabbed just came off in my hands.

Camped at Ft Pickens with 6 buddies and the kids. Lies were told, had some apple pie moonshine.
Last photo of an osprey nest with moon.
Also saw a bald eagle but too far away to photo.

Love it, man. We used to camp there as kids.

Sounds like we need to get you out there again
Stuck in a parking lot, she was running fine towing the trailer behind her with older tires on it. Went to try and move the car to park somewhere else and as soon as she starts she dies.
So shes firing up, and bleh bleh bleh dies. Weird.
BUT HEY, got a new set of shoes, wayyyy too nice for the 40 but I love the way it looks. Downsized to 31s instead of 33s

Only once before in my entire life have I seen an FJ40 with GM taillights. :barf:
The kid bought it that way. I'm sure he'll correct it eventually

Put the top on a little better, doors and hatch on for winter. So it can sit in the driveway. Also vacuumed it out.
