    Wanted North Texas : I need an old worn out FST (Paki, OCD beetle or other)

    Recommend using the measurements in my thread with a long 72'' metal ruler/straight edge. A used top will be stretched and warped and isn't a good template. Just lay the fabric out in a very flat space and you can cut the pieces with a fabric pencil and a giant ruler. Get a bowl or other...

    knuckle mods for disc axles

    Sorry.... it has been way too many years since I did this. I have no idea anymore but I learned how to do it on this forum so the info is definitely in the FAQ somewhere

    FJ40 Early Horn Button Repro

    If I remember correctly I would use really nice painters tape for the straight lines (two bottom V lines and then one long piece across the top. Then I would hand paint the white with a very small brush Then I use a razor blade or q tip or toothpick to clean up the inside paint lines or I...

    FJ40 Early Horn Button Repro

    Whoops! I've been away from the forum for too long. You are correct. You cannot use a EARLIER (horn button in center) with a LATER wheel (center is decorative only... horn buttons on the side). Note: there are multiple versions of the plastic insert for the EARLY horn button. Those plastic...

    Builds 1978 US Market FJ40 Factory Restoration

    just got my tires replaced the other day... haven't seen or driven my rig in years and I had to sit there and stare at the rear axles... I just couldn't believe that the nuts weren't fully engaged. I don't remember them being as bad as yours... but the studs weren't flush with the nut. Just...

    While waiting for parts to put my Dash Gauges back together, is there an official color for the dash so that I can repaint it?

    I had a shop warp my cluster when they went to sandblast it and powder coat it... I honestly do not know at what step they messed up but the second shop got it right. Just a word of caution it is pretty thin metal

    FJ40 Early Horn Button Repro

    Hi guys, i haven't forgot about you and the horn buttons. I want to make more but it's going to be a long time before I figure out how to do it in a way where it doesn't take 5 hours per button. I think the metal retainer rings can be made as well with a simple press. Your best bet if you...

    Looking for TLC shop NW Conn or Western Mass

    Hello! Hope everyone has been doing well. I've been MIA from New England for almost 12 years! My land cruiser has been all over the United States and was shipped back to CT to storage two years ago while I've been overseas. I'm headed back to the US soon and I want to make sure the 40 is...

    Who needs FST door handles and how much would you pay?

    I did. They have a little bit of flex. jhonnyC tested them out in August of last year (may still be testing them). I wanted to get some serious trials done before I offered any up for sale. They come in gray and dark gray or can be primed/painted to match the body. Outer handle would ~$35...

    This is my last top, YKK zippers and buckles, leather reinforced corners, tabs to protect the paint from zippers and velcro on all edges to prevent flapping

    making your own soft top.. because lets be honest.. you've built everything else

    bumping this thread... it's been a while and my guess is a lot of the new folks haven't seen it. I haven't made a top in almost 5 years but I'm itching to get the machine out again. I still dream of making a twilfast multi-ply heavy duty canvas top. It'll cost almost $1200 in materials - let...
