The seat belt attachment bolts in FJ6Xs (and probably a lot of other later Toyota models) are actually 7/16 X 20.

That's the whole point — 7/16x20 and 11x1.25 are interchangeable. Most people think of seatbelt hardware as 7/16x20, but that's probably only because 11x1.25 is not a common size.
Didn't really do anything to my 40, nor do I know where I should post this, but I had my brother fix some photos I shot with my good camera last fall near Mt. Rainer. Feel free to snag them if anyone needs a cool wallpaper for your computer screen!
Crawled around underneath and over my Cruiser checking fluids and lubing. Would have done more but I am sorry to say all that up and down wore me out.

First time the defroster nozzle guides have been mounted since 1987.
Mounted the guides, decided they looked a bit tired so I freshened them up

Dash pad has waited 31 years to get re-mounted. Hard to believe I was 14 when this rig was torn apart

It was in a carpet lined crate
Kidding. I wetsanded the steering clamshell. P500, P800, P1500, P2000, P3000 and ended with P5000. Then some mothers plastic polish.

Some pix of work in process. Winch, water pump, belt, coil, wires, plugs, mats, Tuffy Boxes. I have KC Daylighters but not sure if there is room. Was thinking in front of tow hooks with an "L" mounting plate in front of bumper. Can always remove a light in off chance I need to use tow hook. Thoughts? Last pix is my pup saying "when are we going after birds?"
Am thinking of returning the KC Daylighters--tried to think of different places to put them but it would look crowded and too busy-- PTO winch takes up a lot of room and license bracket does not help either. Maybe better to have clean front end; I have halogens anyway. Later. Martin
Brittany?
