Even had the OG floormat in it.

Not sure OG floormat is. Did you alert the owner to the bezel issue? Was it a 75 or a 76?

Original mat.
Didn't really notice the specifics on the year, and I'm 100% certain the owner doesn't care about the orientation of the bezel. All in all it looked to be a pretty complete rig with some sweet patina.
Does "done with" count?

Dropped the dog of as we head out of town and spotted this nice lady in a sweet 200. Then realized I’ve driven 10k since I acquired Ethel. Cheers from KC mural 
That's probably why he had the guy pulled over. Did you write him up?
I put new rubber on the clutch and brake peddles. I like to drive barefoot and it makes it so much better with good pads.
Matt you might need a break from these knobs, it looks like you're doing this in you shower.
Who knew Irish Spring was the secret to restoring these knobs.
All kidding aside they look great!
and cleared up some space in the garage for the Rusty Smurf to sleep inside from now on.

That’s freaking sweet! I’ve got one waiting for a rebuild. Do you have the “throttle” control cable? Nice work.

After missing out on NOS FJ40 86530-35020 horn relays for sale, @ToyotaMatt came through with his new reproductions of the original Maruko Keihoki relays that are NLA. These relays are for FJ4#,55 10/69 - 7/80.. My horn now works as it should. It’s satisfying installing factory correct parts.
Then I went back to work on my Transfer Case/4 speed rebuild.

Realized that all this smog equipment is a gut job. Ordered a header from JT and developed a game plan to sneak a Mosley kit onto it without the wife catching on. Also decided to rip the manual box off for a degrease and refurb.

I have Faithfully Reproduced the Nickle retainer Chain for ALL 4/86 and Earlier BIG CAP Land Cruisers
a OEM Cap still comes with a Hole pre made into the Ear of Cap end , so why not re-introduce a VINTAGE CONCEPT Safety Chain kit to it .........

He was actually stopped at a BBQ joint. A crappy BBQ joint, but still. We skipped the phony, tri-tip smothered in sauce, BBQ, for the better option of local cold beer.
Some days like a Random Thursday in July ..

Had a request to make some custom knobs for a Vintage Air system, as well as a couple others.
His dash knobs will all match!
Can't wait to see it installed!
