Is that a FJ40 steering wheel?

Took off bikini top and canvas doors, put my soft top and original doors back on for winter. Took a test drive and found my rear heater is not turning on! Rear heater hot but fan no go. Front fan works excellent. Man, I just took it apart last winter and serviced it. worked great. What the hey?

The joy of owning a vintage vehicle!

Took a little while but just got some pics from the October Land Cruiser feature at our Cars and Coffee.

yep it’s that company but i know there have been covers purchased that don’t match properly. i had one for my fj62 for example that i had to modify. they’re great covers for the price but i just don’t want the hassle of customizing it. i’d rather just get it to fit right off the hop

Yes it is. At least, it’s the steering wheel in my ‘75 40.

New speedo drive gear installed and I finally have a working speedometer/odometer.

I also remembered I have a two post lift. I've been crawling under this thing cuz it's so easy to get under it, but lifting it made things way easier

is that your 356 in the corner?

 

[RevISK]

I think that’s called a humble brag

 

[MatthewMcD]

can you share that sizing or post the link to her description? i need one of those

For my steering wheel this was perfect. The texture even looks like my dash pad, check the sizing table. XL1 : https://amzn.to/3UG3GsL

The post from @Aloha Jen

What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

Did some repair work to the hood and decided to do a quick and dirty matt black paint job.

found jen’s post…

Builds - My Hawaiian 1975 Fj40 Resto-resurrection

I didn’t have to drill, the windshield frame had 7 evenly distributed holes that had capture nuts behind them. They weren’t even nutcerts that a PO could have put in, but looked to be factory holes for 10mm bolts. Maybe I have a factory soft top windshield frame?? Most frames are like you...

and yes she used the belinous xl1 cover too.

just bought one on amazon. 1/3 the price of a wheelskin

Thanks, it came out better than I imagined for $16. It even matches the dashpad.

I'd like to see details on how to do the baseball stitch. When I did my Wheelskin cover awhile back , I just followed their instructions and while I'm not unhappy with the results, that stitch is just better. Once mine was on and warmed up in the sun, I was able to massage it a bit and align the stitch a little better than this pic shows.
