I will eventually sell the seats, once I am fully sold on the Corbeau seats. Yes, they are OEM seats.

Sorry. I think I added the correct link now.

Nice. Are you selling the old seats? Are the old seats OEM?

FJ40's aren't supposed to rattle. I remember back when TLCAs' Toyota Trails was nothing more than a black and white pamphlet and they would repost old Toyota ads. I recall one of the ads mentioned they were designed not to rattle.

The biggest takeaway I have, it would have been nice to have more time to finish some of the smaller details. That being said, I'm glad I made the decisions that I did and moved back out west. It would have been better to shoot the paint on...

Thanks. Please elaborate on lessons learned. I value the experienced pro opinions. Experience beats any book knowledge. I already have rear 3/4 of the tub off, I degreased and power washed that section. The apron, bib, and firewall are next to...

Take a look at this link https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1977-fj40-rebuild-focus-on-custom-stainless-tub.1348804/page-14#post-15953356 .I think he is working on drawings.

Hello All I am wondering if some one have bj42 full body upto the scale cad drawings(3D), I need to rebuild my vehicle tub and other body parts,I did look on the internet but no luck please help. Thanks

What did you use to clean all the crap out the box frame. I bought a 4” stainless chimney brush. I have not tried it yet though. Want clean out spray it with rust blaster and coat the inside with master coat AG111. Any thoughts.

A couple shots from Steamboat Springs, I met a fellow mudder there with a sweet 75 FJ40, didn't get his name! Saw a few other nice rigs around, a whole **** ton of 80 series running around.

What were your issues with rust converters? Did they peel or did the corrosion just bleed through over time?

Thanks, that is a lot to chew on and very good information. I have never used POR personally. I used Rust bullet on the frame and undercarriage of my 77 Bj and it has held up well for 10 years with still more years available. I may give SEM a try.

Were you able to reuse the body mount bolts or did you replace all body mount bolt with OEM or something else? I am looking for replacement bolts/nuts for my rig.

Curious as to your decision as to go with Sem verses POR, Rust Bulletin, or Eastwood products?
