There is a mud member who makes “quick hinges” I have a set and they are a quality product! Out of stock right now but worth the wait. https://mcdesignsoffroad.com/quik-hinges/

None that I can tell. I’m sure there is some aeration going on but it hasn’t affected driving or fuel delivery performance.

Requires a little bit of fabrication but her was my solution: I used the gas inlet, drilled a hole, and welded a bung and a bit of bent tubing to direct the flow into the tank. Like you, I didn't want to drill into the gas tank. Something to keep in mind if you do use the bottom of the tank...

Had a few hours this weekend. I was able to get the voltage regulator switched out and it is back to charging! I also worked on massaging the doors and hinges a little more... We are just about ready for some sanding, primer, and paint. One thing I saw that was missing is the drivers...

Any updates to this or how you’re doing?

I also checked the battery voltage with the alternator running and before starting. The voltage just doesn’t get high enough while running to charge. So that’s probably the voltage regulator not working quite right.

That’s what I’m thinking. I started the vehicle and disconnected the negative cable while it was running and it continued to run. So I think that rules out the alternator. I have a new voltage regulator on order so I should be able to test that out. May take the old one apart and play with it...

Well I finally found myself with some time to get it up to temp and adjust the IAC on the holley sniper. Old front door camera caught me struttin'. I drove it a few times around the neighborhood and it drives great! Sure puts a smile on your face. Only issue that I found is that the...

Not sure if the 65 is the same, take a look at my post here: Trade - 1965 FJ40 steering box - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1965-fj40-steering-box.1367178/

And another year goes by.. My son turns 3 today... Hard to believe. Still trying to convince the wife that a car seat is perfectly fine in the front seat of an FJ40 with no doors.... For now, a ride down the driveway puts a huge smile on his and my face.

Sorry for clogging up your thread @corcel. But here is what a FJ45 cab would look like with a stamped lower rear panel and the gas fill ON the corner not on the side:

Someone made that into a “45” cab. Not actually a 45 cab.

Welcome. Post up some pictures when you get a chance and start a build thread! Like others have said before me, the search tool is your friend. I prefer searching via google and adding ih8mud to the listing. Easier to find threads that way. Feel Free to send me a PM with any questions. I...
