Frame parts needed

Max in DC · 06-01-09, 01:32 PM

I need to replace a few parts on my '79 FJ40 frame. Looking for a stock front bumper in good condition. Also need a rear frame channel (bumper) and the rear diagonal pieces as well.

Has anyone replaced a rear frame channel and the diagonals? I can't see how to get mine off very easily.

Thanks.

This is the only vendor I know of who sells the rear diagonals. They also sell the rear bumper channel. New Parts : Cruiser Solutions, custom cruisers, restorations, genuine Toyota parts, body tubs, used Land Cruisers for sale

This guy sells a repro front bumper and most everything else to build a 40 from scratch. PACOL Online - (678) 910-8674

If you want to try your hand at fabricating the rear yourself look at this thread.

To remove the rear channel and cross braces you simply remove the rivets by your favorite method. I usually air chisel off the heads then just drive them out with a sledge.

Max I have a set of new OEM toyota rear spring hangers with the brackets I bought for my old 79 about 10 years ago that I never used.
Let me see if I can find them
