That awkward silence when the JK owner reads your Cruiser Outfitters sticker.

More than a handful of Jeep owners rocking the sticker too. It was actually coined by a Jeep owner.

Yes, I was thankful for that sticker. Well done Kurt! @cruiseroutfit

Found a good price on a solid 09110-60010, but mine looks better. Problem with mine is a broken ear on the base, so I’ll be changing that out. Soaking the new one in PB blaster, but may have to use the heat. Dark Walnut rustoleum is on the way for the base. If anyone has a good source for the sticker I’d probably put that in place

Bought this new discontinued Confer toolbox from @65swb45 almost 8 years ago. Now to decide where to install on the 67 build.

That would look better in my 40 than yours! Next time you make it to Montana you could drop it off!

Picked up my carb from Jim C today. Got it installed and fired her up for the first time in almost 4 months.

Chased down a loose wire for my dome light and got it working. I dont believe my switch is OEM. What does the correct one look like for a 1972?

Pretty sure by 72 the switch no longer had screws to tighten down on wires but bullet connectors. 74 the dome light moved in to the B pillar with it's own switch. I show the switch changed 7/70 and ended 9/73.

Thanks @Cruiser Cult and @Living in the Past
I guess that works. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something cheap aftermarket.

This is my 3/73 FST that uses the same switch for the Vader light as the one for FHT room light.

Totally, same switch, just changed to bullets on the back. That little wire under the switch was a "adapter" I made so people could use the switch in a 70+ rig.

They are a touch pricey. $470 shipped, and if you need a new latch handle, you probably need a new latch base, which is almost as expensive as the handle.

In taos. If there are any Land cruiser guys out here let me know! This would be an awesome place for an fj40!

This piggy is beyond pure,so think I'll try to fab something from the parts that are left,still functions with a little help

Installed these late 60s aprons I got from Mark @65swb45 on my 73. They have the correct holes for the early emblem with no side markers. I am running the earlier bib with little marker lights at the bottom. Added another color.
