We have a Road trip planned and I have been wanting to get a heater installed for some time. Using an early rear heater I mounted it under the dash and still used the Factory heater switch on the dash. Sure I gave up the defroster So far its a lot better than nothing LOL

These are all inner bezels from clusters that I have obtained over the years. It is strange to think that at least 60 FJ40s are off the road forever with a small part of them at my house.

Reupholstered seats last weekend. It was my first time doing hog clips and the Cruiser Corps covers lacked instructions. Thankfully YouTube had plenty of tutorials. This was my first project, working on doors next.

The fj40 channel is always fantastic, but still links below to good videos.

Cruiser Corps forgot to include the hog rings so I went to tractor supply to buy them and a really crummy pair of hog ring pliers - would not recommend.

I was making custom picture frames with those for a while. Kind of unique.
 
It’s a large photoshop file. Just found out that there should be more space before the total amount. Send me your email and I’ll try to send it later after I make the changes.
Nothing to see here - just fat fingers
