Still have a passenger front and rear door set? My old piggy was lain on its side

I ended up in a nasty accident where I was t boned by a drunk driver. Been piecing it back together. Ran it at the 2019 gambler500 and had a blast with the use compensator boys.(20 foot stretch lincoln towncar on 54 inch mud terrains and 5 feet of lift) Truck was just getting fixed, had the...

If this is still up for grabs I am your bend man. Gonna be pulling the body off my 55 soon

Silly question, would just the stripped body be up for grabs? I was t boned by a drunk driver and need to either swap the whole body. Or locate a doner body to cut some pieces out off

Hey bobm Do you sell rear body mounts as a pair or individually? I am in need of a drivers rear and front floor pans for the dumpster fire that is my fj55

For the moment I just run it as it is, someone put alot of effort and money into it so I enjoy is bombing over roundabouts and just general tomfoolery on the trails nothing major. The spring mounts are outboarded so I have been throwing around the idea of finding some stock chevy springs and...

Well its about as far from stock as you can get. But for a free truck(i made a thread awhile back about it) I really can't complain More chevota than anything, it does need a new sm465 manual and that is proving to be rather hard to find in central oregon. i am about to throw my spare turbo...

I just re read the first post and edited it I was using talk to text on my phone and it didnt make a whole lot of sense

Thanks everyone, so far the free99 fj55 has been a trip. Had title problems, still have the most helacious noises from the trans. Not even working on the rest of the electrical or rust. But its the small little projects that i can scratch off the list like this one. Hopefully it can help...

All i am dping is adding a overhead console to the roof. By removing the dome light and the rearview mirror you can attach a strip of metal between the mounts. Then using a few bolts bolt a overhead console to it. I will take more photos when I take it all back apart over the next few days

And now the wiring, I have the pinout somewhere for the consoles trip computer. However I am just going to tackle the lights. Seperating the wiring is pretty simple. Green and purple are the computer, orange white and black are the lights I tied the grounds together and snuck a ushaped...

Well I finally got around to doing it, there was only one example of this procedure I could find and it was not super detailed on the wiring and thats what I want to have working What I did was I took a overhead console from 1999 Suburban with the trip computer. I wanted one with the temp...

This is the cheapest running and driving fj40, i priced it to move it so I can get my daily fixed. Will take cash off if you have a nv4500 with t case or a sm465 with a np205 Asking 3500 for mud members. Located in bend oregon craigslist add here 1970s fj40 . So before anything She runs, she...

Well for now its get it running and driving. Iron out the major kinks.( like a bolt for the starter) Actually one of the projects on the list is welding new shock mounts onto the axle. And I have to roll the old dana 70 out since it is hollering and put my rebuilt 14bff under it after I get...

Yes it has had alot of money and time put into her. I bet if I had a hand drawn wiring diagram from when they installed the harness it would make alot more sense. But the butt connectors or lack there of, and the electrical tape, and lack there of, do spin a tale of someone who threw it together...
