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.
 
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 :grinpimp:

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.

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.:rofl:

All kidding aside they look great!

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 ......... :D

That's probably why he had the guy pulled over. Did you write him up?
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 ..

it’s so very kool to be at work doing what you do and liking it that much more …. :D

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!
