Thats good to know that they are all the same height, so that means either who ever made this cover made it short or that it is quiet old and has shrank over the years even though it looks brand new

here is a link to my build https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/fj40-restoration-with-a-2uz-r150-manual-transmisson.1255933/post-15103136 did the stock FST bows ever change height over the years? the bows i have are OEM but they are not from my FJ specifically

do you have or anyone reading this have pictures of the channels and the changes made through the years. I have searched a lot but do not see pictures very often. I have a FST 1973 FJ40 but I don't have the factory windshield channel and am struggling to figure out the differences out there.

Got the stabilizer shock in place. Also shimmed the front axle 4 degrees to give me a positive caster angle. This makes it drive much better. It was real steering sensitive before.

I had to make a bushing for the original dash so I could use the ~89 pickup Speedo cable. And yes that's actually me going 80mph!

Working on getting the original speedometer working with my 94 pickup transfer case. The first picture is the digital Speedo sending unit and an older cable driven one from an older Toyota pickup. When you take the digital one apart you will find the gear shaft is similar and will accept a...

Here's a link to it running on Drummond Island, it was a blast.

Here are some more pictures of the FST issues, so if I take it off the windshield and line it up correctly on the B pillar, you can see how short it is on the windshield now. It's this top made for a different model? It is new but has been sitting around for 10+ years. Could it have shrank...

Ok so it's been a while for an update, but it's on the road! I have some questions on the FST installation and the front heater. For the FST, how does the real steel channel go on the front windshield? From my pictures you can see my cover is not fitting well at all. On the B-pillar your can...

This shifter has been moved sense the picture in here. I cut and rewelded them further forward, you are correct they are way far back in that picture. as for the foot space, yeah glad I changed that, there wasn't much room for a normal shoe let a lone a work boot. the steering would have been a...

lol you got that right, it helps that I put a 1UZ in my 94 toyota pickup, so a lot of the things I have seen before, but there's also a lot I have not.

This might be the long answer lol, but the 2UZ had a couple different throttle bodies through the years. They are all drive by wire, but still different. The early ones had a normal petal with a cable going to the throttle body, but on the throttle body there is a servo that actually controls...

The adapter is AKINA motorsportz, I think its the same one that is all over ebay as well. This is my second UZ swap, the first time I used the ebay one, the one of this FJ is AKINA.
