I had bought the speaker mounting plates for the front corners of the FJ40 from SOR back in November but I had been waiting for nicer weather in order to paint them. The guys in the audio section of IH8MUD recommended some nicer speakers and they are also sitting in the box. Anybody in the northeast or mid-Atlantic region will tell you weather has not cooperated it’s been 2 degrees some mornings with highs of 14*
Brought them in the basement and placed on a tarp. I had a few rattle cans. Wet sanded them and clear coated …they look as good as the tub. They’re ready to install

The last time it ran was November 7, when I pulled it out to put the top on.
Uncovered it today and started it up, let it run for a few minutes.
Need a couple shots of starting fluid but the battery was fine.

What speakers are you putting in them? I have to powdercoat or paint my speaker brackets. I’m on fence to paint them the body color or pewter.
My bad. I keep doing that to him and he still treats me well.
You are right about the cold weather here in NJ. I have been waiting for a non freezing day to paint some body stuff outside. Tomorrow's my day.

I'd like a pic of these in place when you get there.
Didn't really work on them, cleaned up the yard and had a nice afternoon planning the next adventure.

Those look great. I didn’t bother painting, just left mine raw aluminum. What speakers did you go with?
These are mine in the background. Lazily installed with some inexpensive speakers.
I’m using a Bluetooth amp and re-purposed an early dash mounted room light button that is ignition switched to turn it on. I didn’t want it drawing any power when off, and I forget to turn it off occasionally.
Another note, these were a gift from my wife, and I think they are from FJ company. They don’t fit as well as I’d like, but I don’t know if that’s because it’s a 67 or if they are cut weird.
Right on ! One of the Best investments i ever made
Went fishing. I was standing around looking at my project when I decided to look inside the holes where the hard top attaches. I fished out a pristine cigarette lighter and a 3/8 extension out of the same hole! The other one just had a food wrapper

When I got Ruftoys 41 years ago, one bolt was missing in the Warn barrel hubs. Got a replacement from SOR, but it wouldn’t go in the hole, so I had to take the hub apart. The PO had apparently forgotten that THAT is where he stashed his spare joint!Went fishing.

Forgot I wasn’t done welding so removed to then have to replace/patch this yet… wished I would’ve when the cowl was not attached. My two helpers said let’s enjoy the nice weather instead so that’s what we’re going to do.
Tried something new this time- @Cruiser Corps black headliner.
