We never use the rear seat in the FJ Cruiser, they’re always folded down to transport the dogs. Unfortunately when the seats are folded down the cargo area is not flat so I made a platform using prefinished 3/4” birch plywood. The platform is 64 1/2” long, going up close to the center console, I added filler pieces to the sides by the half doors to fill in the gaps and made brackets using 1/4” x 1 1/2” steel flat bar to support the front. Since my wife is short and has the seat far forward I made a filler piece behind the driver seat that folds up accommodating my seat position. I’ll add some 3” foam on top for the dogs’ comfort. Also added some stainless steel corner guard to the back edge for a touch of class.🤣

@eaglescout526 do you have a picture of the other side? Just interested in the weld on it. -

Yes, he says most of that but I’ve never seen the tow eye brackets except in the parts catalog. I would love to see a picture of those actual brackets, in place would be even better. -

B pillar courtesy light questions
fiatslug87 replied to hgeranium's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
1- remove the panel, if you pry the attachment tabs will probably break, see pic 1. 1a- it looks like there may be pins that it slides into, however with 30+ year old parts I wouldn’t try it. You can clean the contacts from the back. see pics 2 & 3. 2- keep checking eBay, lights come up occasionally also ask in the classifieds, but again the plastic is brittle after 30 years. -
Use Pete’s talcum powder trick to find the leaks.

Oil issues, wow not leaking though
fiatslug87 replied to Ole Tsula's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
You should check compression in the cylinders followed by a leak down test. Fuel may be getting past the rings. -

They are PN 52003759 if that helps.
