Thanks to W. B. Wallis (www.wbwallis.com/) and Brain Lassiter we have running boards. Thank you guys you have helped us steps forward in our long journey. They welled the supports for the running boards.


 
 

Speakers are a need not a want.

Speaker cans are from the X10 MasterCraft. The 2-5 1/2 and 2-4 1/4 Polk Audio speakers for the FJ are driven by 45 watts per channel.  The amplifier is an Alpine booster to a iPhone mini-amp set up.  All hidden and in accessible without wrenches and a lot of time.  Gary was our Crutchfield advisor.  He had wiring diagrams, ideas and solutions to our set up.  The goal was for good sound without the risk of our gear being stolen.  Look for your ideas on www.crutchfield.com.

I'm going to have fun with these. Better than any new car.

Wires...

Wires a pain but unless you live in the stone ages they are needed.

More and.....


More wires.

Wires a pain. But unless you live in the stone ages you need them.

We are back! In grey!

It may look ready to roll but it is far from it. Wires, wires, and more wires

 


 

All that needs to be done is wires and wiring.

Under the Hood Installation...oh wait! No hood yet!



Now here is the problem. Alternator on the drivers side, must go on the pax side under the bracket for teh Vintage A/C Compressor. This leaves no place for the power steering pump. HMMMM?


Valve cover installed.




Header and brake master cylinder installed








Prior to the new exhaust header.














Carb ran great when it came off. Let's see what it does in a few weeks when we crank it up.
