I got the bull bar JDMStanNTopSoft. But the brackets to mount it to the frame was not in the packaging. When I bought it I asked if all the brackets required were there. I went through all the packaging. Is it a big deal to get those? Jake

Anyways. Item’s in transit.

I sent money on May 12th. Asked for an update on on Jun 6th. Still never heard anything. Keep that in mind. Jake

Yes the tube slider type . The photos of it are deleted everywhere online . But they look like these 4plus rock sliders.

One more? :) I have 2 62 project rigs and deciding if I want to combine them. I also have a 3fe that I bought from a guy with a good trans but he got deployed and apparently I won't be getting that stuff until Spring, sigh. I am in Denver, I...

Recently refreshed 8274 winch. Cleaned up and repained, works well. $1400 Located in durango co

I had previously posted just a couple of the factory pipes for sale. I ended up finding all the other bits thankfully. So here it goes: I have a complete Toyota 80 series factory snorkel (all 12 components). All parts are NEW old stock (few of...

I'm curious how/where you store that ladder given that it's just loose and hangs there without any hardware. Does it go in the 40 with you, sit on the roof rack and pulled out when you need it?

I have the Spector off road safari ladder that I’ve used the last 8 years with my fj40. It fits perfect over the rails of my con Fer rack but I am not using any longer. I’m not on here that frequently anymore so shoot me a text if interested...

WKOR Sliders Done.✔️ After pulling myself together and thinking about what I might modify in my process, I Nmanaged to get my sliders and skid plate installed. In the end I used my Jack and 2x4 contraption and a pair of jack stands. I also...

Rudy’s lunch stop today and about 70 miles on the odometer. Can’t believe it’s been a couple of months since I’ve driven this 40.

If I recall the front holes lined up but the back ones did not. I got “creative” and used self tapping screws. Nutserts would have been better but I didn’t have the tool. I like the finished look of the cover.

That line from Star Trek comes to mind: Boldly going where no man has gone before!

Finally got done with cutting and welding the transmission hump! Lots of nights with just a little spare time so it took a bit. This was my first real welding project and I think it came out pretty decent! Next step is to 2k epoxy primer, then a...

WKOR Install Well I read some optimistic posts about 1 banana job and 30-45 minutes per side....and I'm not sure I agree. The puzzle of trying to mount these sliders solo is no longer a fun challenge. I have a jack and some tall jack stands at...

Just posted a new story in chat: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-artful-dodge.1367914/

Agreed, and thanks for the heads up. We were thinking A Pilar, b Pilar, firewall and back corners for reinforcing. Also the front fenders.

Interesting! Given the fact that the weight of the doors, windshield, dash, cowl and firewall all float ahead of the foreward-most body mount, that's a lot of stress on the rocker panel under the A pillar. I have cracked the rockers on both my...

Mark, That is correct. The two halves will be permanently welded together (top to bottom) while saving the body line between the. This will be a true hard top when complete. Even the cap will be permanently fixed. Only parts that will move are...

Brian, if I’m understanding this picture right, you can’t take the hardtop off without losing the tire carrier?

...this just in, CAD shows it at 44.5 Gallons.

Shooting for 40 gallons. I will have to take he CAD file and figure it out.

Final fitment of Spare Tire Carrier. I set it high to give the bumper and brake lights some visibility and breathing room. I am probably going with a WolfBox rear view camera like a have in my Grenadier, so the Spare Tire siting high will not be...

Fuel Cell mocked up and ready for final welding.

Got the roof rail re-riveted and sealed...
