Factory 40 Roll Bar

lextechautomotive · 06-10-09, 05:17 PM

Since we all seem to be in a touchy/feely/giving mood here on the forum, I'm looking for the roll bar for my 40 as it is not equipped with one, so that my

will feel safer riding with me. The REAL reason is so that we can can take her TOP OFF

and then hit OCD up for a new BIKINI, for a charge of course.

I thought I might have a lead on one - Greg lives 2 miles away and has one of the rigs I posted in the "40's in the hood" thread....He has a rollbar for you....Heres his response to my pm

I know that the roll bar has rust on it. As well as I can remember, I think that it is mainly surface though. I do have the oem tire carrier and it is out of the weather and it is in good condition. I will get with you Sunday evening or Monday if that is alright.

This roll bar - Its actually pretty decent

Don't worry, I don't wear my heart on my sleeve. I can take it.

informationjunky · 06-11-09, 11:24 AM

I think Brock nailed it,....I guess you were talking about the top and bikini for your 40

BBQ BOY · 06-11-09, 01:21 PM

I will stay out of this one.

Brock · 06-11-09, 04:46 PM

lextechautomotive · 06-18-09, 02:32 PM

Hey Anest i'll send you a pm soon.

ocdbeetle · 06-18-09, 03:29 PM

If the rollbar from post #2 won't work for you just let me know.....I think someone else was looking for one.....

lextechautomotive · 06-18-09, 04:19 PM

Hey Jim im still interested in the roll bar as long as it is a factory bar, cosmetics are not important as long as it is structually sound, Im a lc purist you know. No chevys should be in lc's

ocdbeetle · 06-18-09, 04:22 PM

Agreed.....Its factory.....pads and all.....Just waiting on 73fj40lc to get in so I can pick it up.....

lextechautomotive · 06-23-09, 04:26 PM

Hey Jim any word on the roll bar?

ocdbeetle · 06-25-09, 06:59 AM

I'm still waiting on Greg to call me back and tell me to come get it......I should have probably gotten it before I said anything but when you think you know someone......blah, blah, blah,.....you know the deal......I'm still waiting to hear back from him......

If you have a lead on another one and are ready, by all means go for it......I'm sure right after you get another one this dude will call ready to give his up......LOL

ocdbeetle · 06-25-09, 08:07 PM

Just heard from Greg and he said no problems getting the rollbar,,,,he's been swamped at work with the railroad and hadnt had a chance to get back with my.......I might be a little impatient anyway.....LOL......

I think he said for me to just go unbolt it but I'm waiting for a pm to make sure before I go creeping in his backyard to unbolt 40 parts.........

ocdbeetle · 06-28-09, 11:36 AM

Picked up a nice rollbar today for you Glenn.......Do you want me to bring it to the HAMOM?.....?.....

lextechautomotive · 06-29-09, 05:49 PM

As i'm already booked out a week in advance, It doesn't look like i'll be able to make it, but if the schedule changes i'll let ya'll know.
Thank you Jim, for looking out for me. Hope i can return the favor soon.

ocdbeetle · 06-29-09, 06:24 PM

Anyone want to bring it from the HAMOM? As you might know, the legs can fold inward so it can be carried flat.....Fits in the back of my 62 lovely.....Otherwise I'll bring it to Charleston when I come.....

Brock · 06-29-09, 07:29 PM

I could but leave the next day for colorado so it might sit at my house for two weeks...but if you or dbenke cant bring it down I will.

ocdbeetle · 06-29-09, 07:38 PM

OK....I'll bring it to the HAMOM regardless and we'll go from there.....

Brock · 06-29-09, 07:46 PM

i have the carpet and 40top from belmont still in back of 60 as well. will the rollbar fit in back of my FJC or would I have to tie it on top of rack....in case I dont drive the FJ60.

ocdbeetle · 06-29-09, 08:00 PM

IDK about it fitting inside....I'm going to have to do a little configuring for it to ride in my 40....It makes for a nice flat piece after the legs are folded...just bulky with the main hoop......

You bringing the Belmont stuff yes? Otherwise I'll have to bombard you with fruitcake in the mail.....One a day until the rapture......Can you imagine all the fruitcake you'll have by the time you get back from CO? I had to stop eating it.....It was like colon cleansing via roto rooter........LOL

Brock · 06-30-09, 04:39 AM

yeah i will bring the belmont contraband....LOL

lextechautomotive · 09-12-09, 05:48 PM

Jim still storing the roll bar for me? whats the typical storage fee in the Florence area going for these days in this depressed economy?
I'd like to possible come up that way soon and visit, the wife and i need an excuse for a road trip.
Maybe i can also take a look at the 40 in the area that has the disc brakes on it if there still available.

ocdbeetle · 09-12-09, 05:54 PM

Yep.....Its only 2 blocks from where it originally sat....LOL......which is also where the disc brake fj40 is......

73fj40lc · 09-16-09, 09:05 PM

Jim,
Glenn also wants the OEM pads for the rollbar. I forgot to give them to you. If you all come over let me know so either I can be around or leave the pads so that you can get them. I also would like to get Glens opinion on the best parts for doing the mini truck swap on my 40. Alreay got the mini axles and some new parts but really don't know what internal parts and seals that I will need to replace for the swap. I want to replace any wear items. I have read so many threads and so many different opinions I don't know which way to go. I just want the strongest and best that I can get. I want to do it "right" the first time. I am looking at high steer and CV Unlimited or Longfields. I need someone with alot more axle knowledge than I have so I can make a list of parts. Axles are not in my forte. I have never torn one down other than CV joints and replaced hubs on the Z71.
