New Patrol Owner - 69 Hardtop

[jeffs69Patrol]

Anyone know of a car cover that would fit our Patrol's well, I would assume there might be a Jeep cover that may work?

Patrol's will have to sleep outside while new shop is being built.

I recall RiverPatrol mentioning once that covers for the Toyota FJ40 will fit (they're basically the same dimensions overall) but if this cover is just a temporary solution, maybe you can get by with others for small SUVs like the previous Ford Escape.

My Patrol is the MWB, with 12 inches more than yours. I did use some years ago one of those, but humidity was being trapped inside and started to cause problems on the inside of the canvas top so I got rid of it (mine is not a true canvas material and might not breathe like one)

Hello everyone, well it's been almost 4 years since my last post, took a while to get the shop built and a place to work on the patrols again but we finally got it moved back inside and the body removed again to start working on it again.

The shop looks great... total envy!

I looks like I have a bad starter solenoid, does anyone know the part number or where I can get one? The starter motor is fine. The solenoid wont move when power is applied, I did pull it apart and clean the contacts also.

Not sure about the starter solonoid, but replacement starters are available. Checkout Esteban's post from December 2020 and Nov. 2017.

Does anybody have a good picture of a 69 patrols hydraulic clutch linkage and how that hooks up on the transmission?

I'm also looking for a good picture of a linkage for the emergency brake linkage.

I have a service manual but it doesn't look like it includes the hydraulic clutch
