Thank you so much!
I cut mine just before the fuel door.
Wasn’t sure how the seam there was situated. I can proceed now.
Thanks

A week late, but got the front doors installed... !
Went on like butter...
They don't make weatherstrip for a 64. The top of the door has no provision for it and the rubber actually goes on the upper door bow. So I figured I would go with the CCOT seal. Not OEM at all. But works perfectly for the space. Complete seal all the way around ( minus the top). Very happy with the color match as well. This was a second batch of paint I had mixed up. They matched it perfectly!
Sorry for the low light pics...
Restored the original inner door handles as I love the angle they have compared to the new aftermarket versions. There so basic there's really no play in them after all these years!

If yours is a 79+ the connection to the B-pillar is different.
Pre 79 tubs have an angle at the B-pillar and 79+ are straight overlapping connections.

@waiting for time I wish I would of kept my two FJ40’s i owned back in the day.
I’ve heard so many Jeep guy talk about Jeep regret (when you get rid of it and regret it).. I’ve had a Jeep and traded it for an fj cruiser.. no looking back. But my FJ40, I could never see parting with it. And if I did I could see having the LC regrets...

Yeah it was back when I was twenty five I had a new family and we moved to a smaller place and couldn’t take them with me.
Too this day I have regret.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
In the end its the things you didn’t do that give you the biggest regrets.
You cannot have it all at a younger age so you have to chose, they probably would have cost you more when you kept them.

This is my image of the Super Wolf Blood Moon Eclipse as seen last night. The red upon it was real pretty. And I thought the moon looked good too.

Washed my rig today, in the snow. I wanted to get the road grime off of it from the last time I had it out on snow covered roads.
Then I adjusted the timing, checked the head bolts, adjusted the valves, adjusted the timing again along with tuning the carb, adjusted the timing again, and added some coolant.
I started with a low vacuum reading, right around 10-11 in.
After I tuned it a little I’m up to about 15.5-16 in.

That looks a lot better than the first pic of 11.5
