You’ve done a great job and fast!
The front bumber looks good. Fast thinking there.

Re: FJ40 owner now trying to figure out a Patrol.
Update!
Got fender stripped. Going to get some paint matched this week to paint it and bolt it on.
Every time we drive it sounded like a rear wheel was loose. Once we started looking at the brakes we realized that was not the case but instead both rear wheel bearings were shot. We stripped it all down and cleaned it up. After some looking around we found all new bearings and seals from oreilly. I will include a picture of part numbers in case anyone needs them in the future.
Also were missing the springs for the drum brakes on one side. Forklift supply ended up having them!
The rear is all rebuilt now and so are the brakes, now the fronts will be gone through and also need to pull the starter and see why it works sometimes and sometimes doe not.
Also does anyone know what these are for? they were in the parts box but im not sure they are for the patrol

Nice source for the rear brake springs. I wonder if they have the fronts?

Drive the patrol around the neighborhood to check for weird noises after rear end rebuild and everything seems good to go!
Local paint shop matched a polished panel in some rattle cans. Time to get the fender matching!
So far it is looking like a perfect match. Will get some more pictures once its mounted up and out in the sun.

Long over due update. Got a sniper efi on and it is running perfectly. Got new wheels and tires on and have been driving it around more. Honestly it is probably done at this point besides driving it around.

Re: FJ40 owner now trying to figure out a Patrol.
I think this is the first efi I’ve seen successfully installed. What all was required to hook it up?

Congratulations!!!
Please share about the installation details.
Will be great down the line to see what mpg you’re getting.
