Today I painted the frame with the por15. IMG_20160828_213904070 (Small) by Eric Morris, on Flickr']IMG_20160828_213904070 (Small) by Eric Morris, on Flickr[/URL] IMG_20160828_213904070 (Small) by Eric Morris, on Flickr'] As others have stated, this stuff is pretty nasty. I highly recommend...

Thanks, though I wish I was getting it done quicker! lol The main reason I don't want to do the cowl is because I don't really want to remove all the electrical (painless wiring kit btw) and steering/pedals/etc...especially since my cowl "appears" to be in good shape. The donor tub cowl is in...

Thanks! I was on the fence for a while before pulling the trigger and getting started. Since I started this project, I have learned so much about the fj40's.

Thanks @tjhaga for the 77 tub!

I decided against the aqualu tub, as I would rather spend the additional money towards some much needed things. I posted a wanted ad here on ih8mud for a tub. I wanted to give a big thanks to @tjhaga for reaching out to me and selling me his 77 tub. I just got it today via uship (great service...

I have started cleaning up the frame of the rust. It is pretty bad, LOL. Decent sized chunks of old rusty frame material was found inside the frame. It was full of the broke off chunks of rusted steel. IMG_20160823_181832716 (Small) by Eric Morris, on Flickr']IMG_20160823_181832716 (Small) by...

Yes, if you could please send pics that would be great! I will pm you. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. 1/4" steel sounds like a tank! I will have to contact him and see what he can do. Do you have a recent contact number for him? I couldn't find a website for him anywhere on google. Thanks

I need a decent tub for my 1972 fj40 I'm working on. The year of the the tub doesn't really matter to me, as this is not a replica restoration I'm building. I am located in GA. You can call/text if easier at 4047980409 Thanks

I am interested in the tailgate if you decide to separate. Thx

Thanks, that makes much better sense. @65swb45 is correct! :cheers: I appreciate the help from everyone. Nice to know what I have!

I wouldn't be afraid to try and take this on yourself. As said before it really isn't that difficult. I just finished doing a re seal on my T-case and hopefully I'll be doing my transmission tomorrow. Just take a lot of pictures and you will be fine! Josh I appreciate the encouragement! I may...

Thanks for the photo references. The image below is all I could find on it. IMG_20160719_172830878 (Small) by Eric Morris, on Flickr']IMG_20160719_172830878 (Small) by Eric Morris, on Flickr[/URL] The characters I can make out are "4 I" and below that is "0081" and a "B" to the lower right of...

When you say the guide to prevent the T case is for a three, do you mean it is for a three speed transmission? Could this indicate that the transfer case is for a three speed? I looked all over the case for a date of manufacture, but could not find anything. Is there another guide I will need...

Lol, true. There was a couple of huge plastic totes that maybe could have hidden a bell housing, but no such luck for me.
