minor thread hijack
Steve,
What is the difference between MIG and TIG welding? My buddy offered to weld and can do both but he wants to use the gun (?)- really easy to weld with. Is this a strong enough weld for fabbing stuff up?
Back to the FJ, love the nice, neat welds and that nice "scoop out" for the tow hook, rounded edges...really nice work.
I really enjoy the process in photos on your website- the shock protector/washer is awesome!

Surprised no one else noticed...
Your cruiser looks like its smiling.
I guess it was happy with the results too.
Seriously though, very inventive, clean, and good looking.

How much does the 'silver smile' weigh?
As for finish, I'd just clean it up and go with a clear metal lacquer. Some of the new finishes won't turn yellow in the sun.

Awesome work. I was just looking back at the original bumper and it looks like a hamfisted, clunky brick compared to your new ones!
Really cool stuff, thanks for posting it.
