Light knob fir 1965 FJ45

I'm planning to go. I've got several early model 45 items (some hard to find stuff), some 60 parts, and side steps and bull bar for an FJC.

Gas tank resealed with the Gas Tank Renu process. Lifetime warranty!

The bed is done! The gas tank is done! The lights are working and I can finally drive her down the road without too much worry. The 4sp is limiting me to about 60mph comfortably. I'm going to have to adjust the valves and timing at some point too since I can hear them making a bit of noise...

If these do get reproduced please let me know. I'd be in on a group buy.

I found a process to fix the gas tank that has a lifetime guarantee!!! Called Gas Tank Renu. You have to find a dealer closest to you but this is the way to go to restore an old leaky gas tank. It's doubled sealed and baked, after they sand blast inside and out. If it ever leaks agin they will...

Exhaust is done! Looks and sounds so good. That was the best $92 bucks I've spent in a while (glad I didn't go with the $650 option). Next up - 1) find out how to stop the power steering leak. 2) Fix the recently discovered leaking fuel tank (paid two times for this tank to be cleaned and...

One other thing... I wouldn't pay for work until it's completed because if it's not done right then it's not worth paying for. I'm having to go back and pay to fix things now that I already paid to have done once. I'd want to do like the shops on TV do - X project for X dollars in X time. If...

I would have purchased new or already rebuilt engine, 5 sp tranny, and transfer case before I disassembled the original to have it ready to go when needed instead of a disassembled useless truck sitting around for three years. I would not have powder coated the frame after galvanizing it (paint...

I really like the look of the side mirrors but they do not perform as I would like. They move every time I shut the door and the wind moves them around also. The main reason I went with these was to avoid them moving around so much on their own. I'm actually considering using some sort of...

It's been almost two years since my last post. Marshall Shepherd at Trollhole's Cruisers has completed the majority of work that remained and it's almost done. Still to do: exhaust, fuel tank issue, drive shaft, transfer case rebuild, and misc aesthetic stuff. Completed: Engine rebuild...

On the move... plan is to drive it to Alaska once ACC is done with it. I'm very excited to see the progress they make on it once they get started. I had a bout with cancer in the last couple of months and decided it's time to live life to the fullest without any regrets.

Updated. Had to remove anything about selling - belongs in classifieds. I LOVE Ih8mud so I don't want to do anything to get the boot...

Thanks Rainman! Your one of the "old school" I was referring to... Before I ask you of any favors though I'd like to offer you some free labor. Whenever you're needing some extra hands with anything give me a call. I'd love to come meet you, help with whatever you've got, and let you know...
