Looks like a perfect fit!  Hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed wearing my ivory Ezo.

Looks like a bingo on that fit!

After so much unskilled labor on my part..about 95% bare metal and off to the shop for body and paint work

A few weeks back I was asking about which color soft top for my '84 land cruiser.  I've decided go a different direction and turn my 'safari' raised roof hard top back into a 'normal' height stock roof.  When I purchased the rig about six years ago, it was FULL safari with a homemade camper setup in the back.  I've removed a lot of the extra safari stuff over the years, and updating the seating for eight (vs. two).

I'll soon be getting some body and paint work done and the roof fixed (after I cut out the roof rise and matched up the two pieces for the fiberglass guy).  I thought I share the before pics before I forget to take them.  First pic is right after I bought it, and the rest are the current stripped down condition.

So I've got a 38" ultra wide monitor I normally use with my 13" laptop.  I've got various layers of windows open, with various sites and browsers.  I had been looking at Haraki's blog a couple of days before and the Chrome browser was hidden as I did my work stuff.  Anyway, I unplug my laptop to do work in another room and when I open it, I see the following picture (with no context) on about 70% of my screen:

I thought it was a torture/scalping video screen grab until I scrolled down to see Tom smiling during a 'fun' hair trim.

@Graeme:

One thing that I'd (belatedly) suggest is swapping the Velcro on the cuff adjusters and collar with snaps, like on the overdyed M-65.

I fully agree with Graeme…and I only bought the overdyed M-65 BECAUSE it had snaps. Losing the velcro tipped me over.

• 3 (or 4) on snaps over the Velcro

@Warner By the look on the background guy's face, I think she just told him he couldn't pull off the Crusher 

This or that…

I have a 1984 Toyota FJ45 in factory 464 Beige color.  I'm in the market for a soft top I'm trying to decide between the classic tan or the black.  Any opinions?

FJ Company's $200K FJ45 restore.  It's not mine obviously, but same color and wheel base.

Here's a FJ43 (2ft shorter) in beige with a black top

Maybe a fit pic will change your mind…  Good Art necklace and IH Oak Street shell

Seriously considering 'parting out' my Jack Skull necklace into 28 skull zipper pulls if it doesn't sell in the sale section.

Desecration or cool idea?

@Alex

FYI : I'm getting Server 500 errors when I click the see in shop links, also the shirt does not come up in the store front search.

One of my favorite IH items (excuse the smarmy expression - the wife gives me one take on a fit pic and I blew it)

OCD watch lovers,

I recently 'upgraded' from an old steel dive watch.  Now, with my new 'nice' watch, I'm constantly worried about the snaps on my IH westerns scratching the case and bracelet.  Especially with the cuffs undone.

The watch is precious metal if that matters.  I don't mind the little scratches/scuffs from daily wear, but I keep imagining the outside of the case/bracelet getting gouged/beat up from the snaps.

Other than not giving a f*uck, rolling up the sleeves, flipping up the cuffs, wearing a long sleeve shirt under, or not wearing the watch with my snap shirts…any tips?  Am I over thinking/estimating damage snaps would cause?

Just picked up a medium black to go with my large ivory.  Here's a black fit pic and a couple shots of the two colors together.

Thanks @Niro

That reminds me, I think we're on day 110 or so of the Niro fit pic vigil.

Thanks for the inspiration @Filthy

Popped out the top button on my paper denims trying to get some stretch post wash.

Would you guys think sewing the button back in would ever work, or it best to patch over the hole and put in a new button?
