Pretty OG California truck with some nice patina and a really sweet NOS Kayline top.

Nice job on the seats, well executed. I'm going with the same color in my Capri Blue FJ40. Nice to see yours for comparison.

I should have documented what and how i did what i did, but i didnt. Unfortunately I didn't take during pix as I was sweating how i was going to go about it. There isn't much easily found reading here about how to go about the the 60/40 bench seat covers.
The bottom frames are pretty straight forward, but the backs are kinda not so much...especially if you are starting with bare frames or shredded covers. Once I finished the drivers seat, I was too thrilled with how it turned out that I wanted to press on with the 60 portion while fortune was still favoring me.

Pulled the diamond plate off of the ‘71 to install onto @Chungas Revenge ’s Mule.

@orangefj45 - no surprises.

Hey don’t threaten me with a good time…

Clean Cali specimen. Sooooo, what cha’ gonna do with that LC?

Well I wasn’t going to tackle it today, but boredom got the best of me. Fitted all the panels and rear sill. Test fit the rear doors as well. Everything measured as it should and lined up. So I started to stitch it all in. I should finish tomorrow.

Build: 1973 FJ40 Major Payne

Lazy Sunday. Doing small stuff and contemplating getting dressed to weld… Grille is finally decent enough to mount. I had to strip and paint it twice. Also, I didn’t attempt to flatten any of the dents. Used some of the leftover hardware I had plated from a previous project. Some Naval Jelly and...

They are from CCOT. They fit very well.

It’s being built for a local guy, nothing too crazy happening to start a build thread yet but Sniper, EPS, Dakota and Terrain Tamer are coming along for the ride.

I don’t know about that @Jdc1 … it’s always a great read watching someone work on parts of their vehicle… I’d follow that

Added a fancy little gadget from Mr Landcruiser way down South in Queensland, Australia. High quality part to push that hood ..Bonnet....up out of the way!! Works like a charm with much more head room. Only 2 holes drilled into the firewall support rib. Not a cheap plastic part but good ole steel and looks like black powder coating . Came with everything you need. Easy peezy
I believe it's manufactured by LCS4X4.com.au

I can’t wait to hear more reviews of the Terrain Tamer product. Please let us know how it rides afterward.
