What harness did you get?
Speedway mini 12 circuit. I’m using an aftermarket tilt column on this build so not following Toyota brake/turn signal/hazard schematic.
Started to repair, what I thought was going to be one corner of my rear doors. Once I hit them with a wire wheel I discovered more rust damage and some bondo that was covering some of the bad spots.... more sheet metal repair is in my future.

Not very busy today, got a custom license plate from customjapaneseplates.com and a license plate holder from CCOT. Will match the custom license plate I will have on the rear. BTW The kanji is supposed to be Toyoda.
Got a part number for that dash knob. I have boots in mine. Thanks.
Dash knob?
Oops. I guess I mistook that pump dipstick/lid for a dash knob.
Yeah it’s the pump cap. I thought I was having a brain fart.
I put the final touches on a complete plug and play

Glad I have this in halves.
Nothing much just took it for a drive. Has been perfect weather here
Nothing too picture worthy but here are a few things I did this week on my 1968 FJ40 project.
1. Picked up my rebuilt 4 speed transmission & transfer case from the shop. $$$
2. Added 1 ft length to my engine stand so it would be more stable with my 3F-E engine on it. Then mounted my engine on it.
3. An M6 screw that holds the lifter cover on was busted on the engine I am planning on installing. In removing the other screws, two more busted off. So today I extracted all the screws in the block and scraped down the cover. Ready to put together when I get some hardware in.
4. Degreased and put rust converter on my bell housing & clutch fork.
5. Had Brother Clutch (a mobile flywheel turning service) come by my house and re-surface my flywheel
6. Worked on the 1989 FJ62 wiring harnesses I bought studying the schematic and tracing and tagging the wires.
7. Oh! And I bought more parts

Cleaned and painted rear axle and springs. New rear wheel cylinders
Where did you have the tranny Rebuilt? I plan on doing the same this summer.
Created wall art from left over parts. Bib is all Bondo on the bottom. I bought a new bib and it came with parts I did not need so I just cleaned them up painted and now have art.
