It "warmed" up quite nicely!
Picked a new (old) one up last Saturday. this week I did a few things to prep for passing TX inspection:
Shifter / transfer case boots arriving next week. Probably ordering some lap belts b/c the current only sometimes locks when tugged.
Goal to pass inspection and really start to familiarize myself with the truck over the next 2 months.
This forum has been great so far -- thanks!
- got the horn working via a switch on the dash --> may try to fix the steering wheel switch later, but for now mounted a relay neat the battery and ran the switch to the relay pulling from the live wire from the under wheel fuse panel.
- rewired the license plate lamp --> had a single wire but the bulb/socket wasn't grounding - so ran a ground wire.

right before backing off the trailer. starts right up and runs great. in addition to the basic fixes above, I think I need the bright light indicator to work and then off to inspection. But leaving town so it will sit like this for another week ...PICs or it didn't happen...

I like the LED lighting. Will they also work in the FJ70 lights? I have broken those lights on the fenders too many times and was thinking of using the 70 series lights to get them tucked in closer.

whoa! where did you score these switches?
Knobs are custom-made. I 3D modeled them and then can throw any logo on them. These are about half-height as a normal knob of that style.
Printed on an SLA machine and then thrown on some OEM switches I got from eBay.
I couldn't find any sources for foil OEM jack labels. So, I reached out to Chris at Toyota4low. He turned my design into a perfectly-sized OEM foil label. If anyone needs one of these, he now has them available on his site:

Added the refurbished jack to its new home inside the Tuffy console:

Steering and roll bar back in!
Anyone know a source for these two grommets behind the trans hump?
I'm pretty sure CityRacer has them.

Thanks for posting link and creating the artwork. Using the jack reference, there was no documentation showing decals for the different 09110-35011 variants A-E. Where did you find information for the decal? I’m reassembling my jack and will buy decal if my variant D had the decal.

The labels are tough to find info on. I tried to locate possible sources using some of the older references of vendors (i.e. MetricTLC). None of them seem to be making the labels anymore. So, I pieced together details based on a few of the posts below. From what I could gather, for the 35011 jacks, there are two main differences in the top neck size - that relates to the type of label that was on the jack.
This post showed a picture of a 1971-1976 jack label with the narrow top flange

This post has a picture of the 1977-78 jack label for the wider neck flange

Another pic of the narrow flange from an OEM jack and a few pics of variants (although the labels are all worn)

Based on the info, I recreated the label and sent the source image to Chris to create. Thought about making it myself with some foil Avery labels, but figured I'd probably mess that up...
Since I had a narrow neck jack (set 1976 model) I created the attached file for repro:

Just when you think you’ve done your homework on restoring your truck, someone raises the bar. Nice work and thanks… Now everyone who has restored their variant D jacks will need this decal.
I went to Missouri to pick up a new one!
