Interesting. That helps. So, maybe, they discovered the cab was too tight, elongated it, and, being Toyota and wanting the same length of truck, they needed to shorten the bed.

This just seems so un-Toyota to me. Why in the world would they decrease the cab of the fixed top and then need to make up for it by a longer bed so that the fixed top and removable top had the same length (which is very Toyota)????

I still have them. 5 new ones and also have hubcaps. But, maybe, you can find a deal like @EWheeler !

Greg, the wheel cylinders are very easy to rebuild. I've done complete jobs on several rigs. Piece of cake and the parts are about a third the cost.

Definitely will had a few miles per hour. And that's no bull!

Great work! You and I are doing the same build on a 2F. I built much of the bottom end last week. Cleaned and painted the timing plate cover and timing cover yesterday. Need to clean the oil pan and side cover tomorrow. Hope to get the cam installed and finish the bottom end by early next...

They're probably still available new. But, I also have a complete set of new 15" rims in my attic that have been painted cygnus white.

@orangefj45 can set you up.

I'll take it. I'm doing this mod on my FJ45 that I'm putting a 2F into. I'll PM you.

Thank you. That Teq stamp is so faint and that is what caused all the concern. The cam gear mark is obvious. Just wasn't completely sure why the crank gear wasn't also so obvious.

You’re not off. Both 1 and 6 are TDC when the marks are aligned. At that point 6 is on the power stroke, so the mark on the flywheel won’t align until another 180 degree revolution is made to put both cylinders again at TDC where 1 will be on the power stroke.

Thank you. I have been following the FSM closely. The manufacturer's stamp on the crank gear is set between two teeth, while the knick at 4'oclock is on a tooth. Since the dot on the cam gear is on a tooth, the mark on the crank gear should be between 2 teeth for them to line up as that last...

Pic of it lined up.
