Those look super good. I would totally put a pair of those on mine. I like that they're low profile and also protect, but keep the stock steps.

Yep, that's exactly why I went with them! I wish I could say I built them, but White Knuckle gets all the credit there. No affiliation whatsoever, they just make some really solid sliders.

started on a new rear harness.

I think I have that in my near future for my '71 FJ40 build.
I replaced a few wires on some lamps by putting some solder on the end of a stripped wire, filing it smooth, peening it to a larger diameter with a hammer, and restoring its contact surface with a file. I used two applications of shrink wrap around the collar near the lamp socket. My plan is to eliminate the rear taillight connectors.

What's the reason behind that?
Why risk exposing connectors to salt spray?
Upstate NY today,,... finally... in garage... it take 2 hours of snow shoveling

Aren't they hidden behind the taillight covers?
Kinda, but the housings are, "Made-In-Japan," not OEM, the CCOT rock shields are so-so, top and bottom, and the original harness metamorphosed into mouse turd deposits on top of the gas tank, and air cleaner.
The other things that I did was to have both combination lamps have its own sub-harness, that originated at the cowl, to avoid any split on the exterior.
There are extra grounds on all the lamp chassis outside of the cab, and the horn relay - addressing real problems that should have never been there.

AAAAAhhhh..... Our once upon a time, reliably sane state is now the EMBARRASSMENT of the South! If we can’t come through with two senators, I may move to Alabama
Hopefully the rest of GA can overcome Atlanta’s hidden suitcases full of ballots?

I like your thinking here.
Interesting flares there...
In a good way or a bad way? Like them or not, I embedded them in a tree my last wheeling trip and all that happened was a little scuffed paint...and I mean embedded...
They serve their purpose!
Metal! Nicely done....

The design is Dave’s over at 4Plus. He cut and shipped the flats and gussets. I’m responsible for the awful looking welds. I take full responsibility for that evil. But, like the rest of the truck, it looks alright for 20ft.
Started cutting out the rust on the jump seat frames and fitting the new steel. No pro by any means, but can make metal stick.
I used 5 pin weathepak connectors for the rear lights. Also running a grounds from all to the front ground next to the battery. Except the fuel gauge that will remain grounded in it original spot (didnt know if it would cause interference)
