FJ Cruiser: Disassembly...

A couple days ago I finished the work I needed to do under the FJ's headliner, and I've now got a lot of it put back together.  The interior panels are still removed in the rear of the FJ, as I still have more to do back there – but the front of it is all back together now.  Debbie is greatly relieved :)

At her urging, just before buttoning the FJ back up I took some photos.  I also made a little video giving a tour of the disassembled beast:

The rear deck is my workbench...

Note the side "curtain" airbag (the big horizontal white thing that looks like a hose), and the "detonator" for it (the silver cylinder just above the airbag itself)...

Passenger side, rear - side curtain airbag again...

Rear door, which for some reason particularly concerned Debbie.  Note the rubber boot from hell on the lower right side of door; it took an hour or so to route the antenna wire through that...

Once all the plastic was off, I was amazed at the sheer quantity of wiring in the car.  I'd think the car makers would be working hard on using networking to simplify this...

The cables lying about were formerly above the headliner (and now are once again!)...

Passenger side.  Note the wooden block for the CB bracket to be mounted to.  The side airbag detonator is visible just above the headrest.  Those things worried me - they look like bombs!
