on US spec rigs 1 light is for park brake and the other light is for seatbelt warning not sure on overseas rigs and diesel what it is used for the wiring schematic should show it

I think that's the logical answer. If you want to know for sure, throw it away today; next week you will know what it is and need it.

Installed on my 64 and 65. Super stout doesn't rattle well built. Dave is great to work with and takes pride in everything he makes.

I live in the rustbelt and I love my Aqualu cruiser. It is my DD through the winter months and I have a roadster to drive in the summer. My 40 has a full tub with cowl, windshield frame, running boards, aprons, fenders, and front bib. The...

100% agree on the aluminum tubs from Aqualu as a viable option. I’ve installed two with good results. And if you are in the rust belt, you’ll never have to worry about rust repair on your tub again.

Have you looked at the aluminium tubs? Patching in panels is tedious but doable work - lots of build threads with vids to show you how. Get a good welder that can use small diameter wire and practice on thin sheet metal until you figure it out...

If it was mechanically perfect (or close to it), runs, drives, etc. amazing, and YOU can do all the body and paint work without farming it out AND you have the time, money and talent for the project, then it could be worth taking on. Price? If...

I need to get out of Aug/Sept and then can get something “official” on the books.

Guess that answers the door limit needing to be modified. Been forty years since I added 79 doors onto my 68. Wasn't positive I needed to widen the opening. I've also run FST doors on my 68 which are even thinner than the early two piece hard...

When the early doors were installed on my late model aluminum tub, we changed the late model door limiter by welding the limiter as shown in this photo. The B pillar was good just by bolting on the striker.

FJ40Jim on here (Jim Chenoweth) rebuilds carbs. He has a store Toyota Land Cruiser specialty parts - https://tlcperformance.com/ and has all the goodies you need to desmog your truck. He is famous for his rebuilt carbs and he rebuilt mine (set...

I'd get her a jeep. You're safer driving drunk than riding with a teenager. FJ40's are death traps compared to modern vehicles and teenagers can't drive for crap.

That's wouldnt be a stock wheel. Stk wheels are 5 1/2" wide. A 72 wheel(drum brake) would have the centers riveted the rim. Later models are welded and will clear the caliper if you decide to upgrade to disc brakes in the front.

My first Cruiser was a 1977 FJ55 I bought in 1987. It was just starting to bubble in all the usual spots. It was my DD and I took it to Assateague Island to drive on the beach. It was a blast. But the boxed frame held sand over the years and...

Spotted this 80 this morning on a drive to Granville. Looks well sorted for some adventure. Happy 4th of July y’all and happy 50th to @phishtaco !!

Also, spotted a pair of 40s on the same street in Bexley. Glorious.
