I believe the switch from R-12 to R-134a began in the late 1980s early 1990s. Look for R-12 to R-134a adapter fittings "45° to O-ring" and then you could replace all the hoses with newer barrier hose and fittings but unless you're updating your...

So @J Mack , will these fitting work for 79 factory Toyota AC?

New FJ40 owner here. Been lurking on Mud for a while before buying this 1975 (2/75) FJ40 last fall in NE Texas. It's a survivor that has been in the same family for 35+ years and luckily has been stored inside all of that time. It's very solid...

Where are you at in Iowa? I have one just south of Williamsburg.

Thanks. I have two crusty ones that I considered using to make one good one, but was worried about how well it would fit after I welded the pieces together. I heard back from CCOT and they said they would be making a new batch in the next few...

You can stud weld and pull them with a slide hammer and get them somewhat straight or you can keep the patina. Sadly, it doesn't look like you will get to do both. I assume they are all rusting from the inside out. Personally, I'd leave it and...

We need a link...

Hopefully you have chased down your email addy from the forum and edited those posts.... And honestly, I'd block your email from these screenshots too....

This just happened to me. I didn't fall for it.

I prefer the goose. Only need one per vehicle.

Just looking to see if anyone needs some of these. In the past, when the 55 rockers were rusted, I had a method to repair them. I would cut access holes in the rocker, sandblast them and then seal with a POR15 type product. My feeling is, with...

I teach a basics automotive class for one of our local high schools here in Montana. Just two 45 minute elective classes a week. This years project/homework... A 1972 FJ55. Found it locally. I pulled over the first day it was on the side of...

Ill take the hinges if still available.

Well, after washing it up and getting a better look at them. They are toast. I'm gonna try and fab in a round pipe for the radius, then mold the upper rocker material to it.

It's yours do what ya want! Enjoy It and have Fun 😏😉🧐🤔

Heat, dentpull, repeat 🤔🧐😏😉

I created a youtube channel and I'm slowly posting videos. Channel name is cheap 40.

I have plans of coating the patina on the roof. I also have a search out for the proper Nebula Green driver door. Shown is a later year that the po had put on. It's a rescue, I love the way it looks now except the door and the new dents. Ha

If they were rusted I would cut them out. Their not dented to bad, I will get something figured out to keep the original paint intact. Thanks for the links.

Also, there was this thread posted a couple of months ago. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/need-rockers-for-your-55.1362609/

Im going to attach real sliders if we take it out on these trails again. I had a plan to stay on beaten path, I strayed, I paid.

That was the before picture. :( Passengers where dented, now drivers are dented. I tried the glue and slide hammer on the rear quarters with no luck. Too thick of metal.
