That thing is looking good

The gearbox is getting fixed. This week I'll get it back and make my plans on how to fit the hard top on it.

The gearbox was fixed and I took the cruiser to make the adjustments on the hard top. I had to tie it with a rope to get to the shop.

Here are the adjustments on the hard top.
Next step is to paint and add the glass.

I added the DIESEL tag to the fuel filler.
And also took a trip to my family farm, to enjoy driving it a bit.

Last month I added the door decals!

They were too long locked in a cabinet for two years and for some reason it became deformed. It was impossible to stick it flat. I''ll print two new decals for substitution.

What's everyone think of making the door decals smaller? I think they are to big. Smaller would look better.

[ImperialTrooper]

I agree, a smaller door decal that fits under the line on the door, would look better.

You read my mind.

When I printed those decals I have checked how large is the the original decal relative to Wrangler's door and calculated what would that size for the FJ's door. But When I sticked it I realized it is too big, because the FJ's door is a lot bigger than the Wrangler's.

I already ordered new smaller decals. It won't be so small as you proposed, ImperialTrooper. Not small enough to fit under the line on the door (I think they would be too small, that's a massive vehicle) but it will look better.

Here are some pictures of it in the daylight.

The FJ is now making the final repairs in the hard top for me to install the glasses.
