I have a thread on IH8MUD.com about replacing the FJ40 headliner which I have done several times. It's nearly the same story and the cream colored perforated headliner material is the same stuff. I hope you can get the photos back up. I'd love to see them!
Thanks,
Greg

Patrol rolled into Iowa last Friday. I spent the day cleaning it up a little and drove it around. Runs great! I like it. Has more power than an FJ40 of the same vintage. It's an honest truck. I feel like I got lucky. Drove it over the Nissan dealership today (Sunday) and snapped a photo.

Another great picture! Your Patrol looks tops. Congratulations.

I'm curious about the winch contraption and that big gear.

HEHEHEHE ... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: The secret's getting out. And, your truck has 145 hp, 10 more than the pre-66 Patrols:

Your truck looks awesome. And, since it's red, it's guaranteed to run forever... :lol:

Not sure about the 75MPH cruising speed on that chart - I think that would be after you drive off the cliff. :-) Same with an FJ40 - I did get her going 55 without any issue. Didn't know she had detachable windows? Anyone have a photo of the jack for a 69 Patrol. I see there's a holder for the jack behind the passenger seat but the jack in the truck is not original. There is no tool present kit so a photo of that would be good too!. There is a big bar behind and under the seats. Not sure what that is unless it's a jack handle. The winch does not appear to work but may not have power to it. Need to investigate.

Good news - found a toggle switch under the dash - the winch LIVES! - I will have to do some research on the manufacturer - It's old but powerful just like the truck!
