Thanks, getting everything lined up and fitting "good enough" has been an interesting challenge. The one door gap issue with the windshield frame (AQ) is a gap from the front, hard to explain but the top of the door frame sticks out from the side of the window frame and is not flush. I don't...

:oops: dang, should have checked the shipping! I've ordered from TPD a couple times, and it's been pretty seamless. Although, I have noticed their shipping costs are relatively high. I wonder if one could order through their local Toyota parts dealership, since it seems to be a toyota part...

Perusing through the usual parts suppliers and came across this. Is this really an OEM rain gutter for $115??

Working on replacing the old mini-truck power steering with fj60 PS setup. Also, adding seat heaters and new foam to the stock seats and getting the hard top, sides and rear door repaired.

Excellent , thanks!

Couple question for zerotreedelta; what rivets did you use (size etc) and where did you get the rivet set tool? Thanks!

I’m rooting for them, and it seems like they are responsive to issues; I did read through that post though, what a $$ mess. Fingers crossed.

Ok, I got in touch with Topnault this morning and they’re shipping out a new front door. Will keep everyone posted.

Morning, I just received two front doors from Topnault; the passenger door appears ok, but the driver door is a complete mess, including many of the issues you discussed. I’ll be returning that one for a new one. How did fitment come out overall? Were you able to massage them into place? Any...

Yeah, it’s pretty bad. I’ll get a replacement I’m sure. The passenger door was much much better. Not perfect, but very workable.

Morning everyone! I received the doors yesterday. They were packed quite well, each in their own separate box. While the passenger door came out unscathed, the driver door was pretty beat up. Both corners were bashed in, the seam on one side was pulled apart, the door was twisted and doesn’t lay...

I just ordered a set of front doors for the 40. The original doors are rusted out and after attempting a Real Steel patch job, on one (not bad actually), I learned this sort of repair is beyond my expertise, patience, etc. I do have two doors, with patch panels if anyone is interested, I have...

Hi all, I have what I believe is an 85+ steering gearbox from an fj60, installing in an 81 fj40; replacing the old mini truck power steering I had. Anyone in the Seattle area rebuild these boxes? Maybe Torfab? Thanks!

Hi all, I’ve been debating putting in the 5 speed. It’s a pricey endeavor but may be worth it. Wondering, is there anyone around in the Seattle area with an H55f installed, mated to a 2F? Who would be willing to let me give it a test drive? I’ll leave my 40 with you as collateral 🤣 and if you...
