HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY .... Ol' Slurp came off the assembly line 50 years ago today! Sounds like time for a party!!! It Seemed appropriate to post a Happy Birthday photo!

Welcome! And good job catching the bezel! And YEP, your tracking correctly on how to mount the step boards (+ one bolt in the fender)

Pretty Slick... BlazeCut USA - https://www.blazecutusa.com/ Looks like they're about $600. I guess I was thinking more traditional... something I could use in an emergency for others as well.

Resurrecting this thread after 13 years...hmmmm. So I'm looking to mount a 5# Fire Extinguisher in an FJ40 hardtop. Roll bar mounts seem a bit restrictive on the hard top. The passenger rear corner might work... but I'm leaning toward under the drivers seat. The extinguisher will be held...

if you lost width on the sill, will your doors still fit the opening? Wallowing out the hinge holes may not be enough. I just measured my door opening at the bottom near the sill. Specifically the inner edge of the tub... it reads 41 3/4" (106 cm) Good luck...I'm sure you'll get it to work 👍

Yep, but that’s the normal location.

Yes... the fill plug is normally on the lower half of the cover... no change.

So now…. If you loosen ALL the hinge screws on the doors and the body, can you get the doors to close and fit square?

in your post #22, the Top hinge looks to be skewed a bit clockwise. The door relief at the top also seems substantially wider than the bottom... probably something worth looking at ... I'm NOT a body guy, but I do build furniture, and hinges on doors always take a bit of extra finesse.

Your image 2427 shows the passenger door in the correct order. Based on the angle of the upper hinge body mount, there would be a difference between left and right sides, but I think the error would be too obvious to miss as the mounting angle would be all wrong. You may want to go back to...

Hear are a couple of pix TOP BOTTOM

Look from the side of the rig... the body mount portion of the hinge on the top should have almost twice as much space as the hinge on the bottom... it's pretty obvious. I looked at the photos you previously posted....from the top rail, and I think they looked good... but check 'em

:popcorn:…. No answers, but GREAT question! Thanks

I believe they ARE top and bottom specific... the top hinges have a deeper gap away from the body than the lower hinges...

What's the wheel base? (Spacing, front to back)...it looks like the rear axel was also moved back about six inches and the obvious cut line on the tub seems to suggest that happened.
