    Builds Rescuing a Basket Case '72 FJ40

    That windshield weatherstrip looks great. ALL of the rubber around all of my glass was bad, so I cut it all out and removed all the glass for the paint & body guys when it was first delivered over there. Your lock strip tool looks a little different than the ones I've seen. What brand is it...

    Once you figure it out, you could probably make some money selling those nicely labeled wire harnesses. Looked great to me. 👍

    A PO of mine had installed a T shaped shutoff valve between where the heater hose connects and the head so they could shut off any heat from there. Cheap & easy solution. Someone pointed it out to me when I posted pics of the parts that we unloaded from the back of the 40. If you pinch zoom in...

    There is another solution too, and you could eliminate the 2 heated seat switches and not deal with figuring out all the wiring..... move here to Florida. No heated seats needed. 😉

    New to FJ40 Scene
    Interior: New Parts for Me

    Zero progress on the FJ40 lately. Of the 2 guys that were working on the paint & body, 1 went to the "Polk County Bed & Breakfast" (jail) for driving on a suspended license, run by Sheriff Grady Judd. If you haven't heard of him, you should look him up on YouTube. He's hilarious! And great. I...

    Parting Out TX:FJ40/FJ45 Parts Collection

    Probably depends on if it came with one, or if someone put an aftermarket one on it. I've got 3 that I think are aftermarket, 2 like what SOR used to sell and 1 other type. Currently I'm sitting here with a TENS unit on my back, but next time I get up if I can bend down enough to pick them up...

    That sounds crazy, but it's true. I was working in the parts department at a dealership and the town drunk's wife finally had enough and left him and cleaned out the bank account, so he needed money and walked in and asked if anyone wanted to buy his Jeep. I asked how much and he said $2,000 and...

    I owned a Jeep CJ7 with hard top, full doors, and V8 for about 4 hours back in the late 1990's or early 2000's.

    Coming from the backwoods of East Texas I thought I had seen it all when it came to "Backwoods Engineering"..... but I was wrong!

    Also, "Ski Cooper" is not to be confused with Copper Mountain which is another ski place.
