Factory Radio Brackets Dash Side Fj60
Its not easy to tell maybe in the photo but its like the stereo is leaning back such that there is no support in the rear of the unit. I searched the forum looking for how these get installed but could not really find a good picture showing whats back there.
Dash Pad FJ60. No cracks, easy to install - Not available new anymore!! Gray or Brown, very rare!! Factory Radio Brackets. 81-87: Brackets that attach to side of factory radio. Left or Right. Brackets that attaches to side of factory radio. Left or Right: $10. Brackets that hang from dash.
Looks like there are some tabs on the sides, but maybe there was a carrier piece that would actually mount to the head unit itself. Seems like most folks fab up their own mounting solution, but was hoping there was a little more factory way to get something like this mounted properly. I have also seen photos where folks take the whole dash part off to mount these head units. Is that really how these have to be mounted or is there another way?My dash has an aftermarket cover no doubt to hide 30+ years of cracked dash. Not sure if those covers get glued to the old, or if they just lay on top of the old.
With the cover, the whole top of the dash looks like one piece with the passenger side dash part molded together with the part that goes over the instrument cluster. Is this one big piece or does my cover just make it look that way?I guess what I am asking is the best way to correct this stereo install to get the head unit in there correctly.
Photos would be a great help. Thanks in advance. Did a search for FJ60 Stereo mounting in google. The biggest issue is the OEM unit is a little bigger than the ones you buy aftermarket.As for the dash cover it is held down with a type of silicon or glue.
They are one piece and will cover the whole dash.I used one on my old Bronco and it looked nice. I can say for the 60 I am not a fan as they do not look as nice.To remove it, you can try to take the dash out, then a putty knife to remove it. But the glue will have destroyed the original dash. They pop up on here and ebay once in a while. Brown seems to be more popular than the grey I have. Did a search for FJ60 Stereo mounting in google.

So I am assuming then that the dash does indeed have to some off to do something like this? Is it just easier if you do it that way, or can the radio be re-mounted without taking the dash apart? Maybe via the front control bezel underneath the radio? Not trying to make this hard, but was sort of trying to keep from tearing the dash all apart if possible.Also something I forgot to ask is when you take the dash off, are there hoses that need to be removed from the air vents, or is there just ducting that mates up with the vents somehow?

My understanding is that normally the OEM brackets are long gone which is what the screws to the underside of the dash are for. If you can find both sets (mounts from the dash and then mounts ON THE stereo) you can possibly mount a modern stereo. I have a small block of wood between the top of the little cubby and the bottom of the stereo in my truck to hold the deck up.
His approach to them was one neither of total celebration nor of resistance. Carlos chavez horsepower pdf online. But the American soil was a revelation to him during a trip to New Mexico in 1926. Rather, for Rosenfeld “an act of imagination is the process of perceiving an objective verity, and looking long into the face of the truth.” The topos of the modern city was present throughout his criticism of the 1920s. The other was the American soil: the architecture of mountains and plains, the aridity, the challenge presented by the harshness of its nature.
Otherwise there is nothing supporting it and it falls like yours is.Best bet is to definitely take the dash off as that gives you better access to what you need to work with.

OK thanks for this. I was hoping there was some alternative to taking the dash off. To do this without taking the dash off however you really need the brackets I guess. If you need to get into customizing the mounting it would be easier to take the dash off I assume.Does anyone know whats hooked to the air vents. Hoses with some sort of clip to hold them in place or something? If so are they easy to remove and re-attach if I had to get the dash off for some custom work?

Thanks everyone for the help. Absolutely interested! Let me double check the hanging bracket situation on mine and get back to you. I can see just barely past the sides of the stereo that's in there so its hard to tell. But it seems like that's whats back there. You can sort of see the screw hole for the left side mounting bracket in the pic I posted so I think I am good to go but let me double check.
Gonna try and slide this stereo out this weekend if possible to make sure I am seeing correctly and then I'll PM. Thanks again.Do these factory side brackets work with modern head units? The one that's in there just has one of those slide collars that looks like its just been wedged into the stereo hole in the dash.
OK I took a look at this and I can definitely see the brackets back there on both sides. The stereo is just hanging there by the front bracket.
Its not even attached to anything. Just hanging in mid-air. Its unreal some of the stuff folks try and get away with. Just can't stand having to correct work folks do. Been doing it on this truck for months now. Would it kill you to just do it right to begin with? Anyway, rant over.
So definitely want those brackets if you care to part with them. Sending PM now.
