Really odd… I searched “wiring harness” specifically and literally nothing came up. Kept thinking how weird that would not be all over the forum. And I swear I know how to use a search bar!!!

This guy must be the sorcerer supreme when it comes to FJ40‘s, as everybody is pointing me in his direction. Already got an email out to him, thinking exactly what you were thinking! Thanks!

Cool. And thanks for the link. I've got that in hand already and ordered up one of the fancy color reference posters as well. Searched a bit but haven't seen a whole lot of recent. Will give another look. Also, not entirely sure what you mean by steering column... it's all toyota from the...

I'll spare you the gory details, but... my '71 FJ40 currently finds itself without a wiring harness. Well, it's still here... but now it's on the hood instead of under it (and the dash and wherever else). Good news: All the wiring was cut and/or pulled from the original components, which are...

Been debating hard about either 1) rehabbing the existing top on my 71, 2) tracking down a better condition used piece, or 3) buying a fresh one. With all the hassle of removal and (re)attachment (not to mention inevitable repair work), seems like option 2 is a non-starter. Either need to fix...

Dude, you are killing it! I don't even know you and I'm proud of you! Love it. Keep up the great work. Excited to see you return her to glory!

Thanks for the insight! Sounds like there’s a great place here in Charleston that will match the paint AND rattle can it for me. Once I nail it down, I’ll get a larger quantity and go to town.

Could be. It clearly doesn’t match my dash. Still, the point is that I’m looking for a detailed/digitized layout. Got one for a 71?

Yeah, could go that way for sure. More than a few extra holes in there too, so no small task!

Funny you say they ruined the fj wirh Camo. I love it exactly for that feature. And when I say funny, I mean rude.

The wood would actually look pretty cool if it weren't so ragged. But this all brings me back to another topic, for which I just started another thread... how to verify OG paint color and secure a small amount to test. Patina is cool and all, but this thing is all over the place in terms of...

Before I drop cash on even a pint of $50 what I'm still not sure is the right paint, I wanted to ask... 1) Any tips on verifying paint code for my 71 FJ 40? The Toyota paint chart says T451 is the closest match, but every color swatch on the internet seems different (and way off).* 2) Anyone...

Tried a heat gun... technique needs work, but it worked to remove the veneer. Unfortunately took some of the original paint with it!
