    Builds My Mexican 1965 FJ40V Build Thread

    After almost never seeing FJ40's around here, I met @lemecdemeure while taking a close look at his classy FJ40! It is truly amazing. I also saw another one on the way home. I really need to get mine stateside!

    It hugely depends on the port of entry! If it easier through TJ/SD, you got yourself a visitor my friend! Also, it is possible that I drive another one from the West Coast to the East coast in the next year or so...

    Builds My Mexican 1965 FJ40V Build Thread

    Latest update: I found a pull button I really liked for the interior LED lights I installed, I liked the button so much I got a second one as my F.D. button with the right, albeit unusual, threading. The ONLY thing not working is my inspection lamp socket. It is intact but seems to have no...

    For Sale California early FJ40 top and doors

    Maybe I'm too late and it's no longer available: Just learnt a distant uncle is going up from L..A. to Santa Cruz in a CRV and has offered me to drive some stuff up there. I think the rear jump seats might fit inside his car. Would you be willing to part them from this lot? Also, could you...

    FJ40 Roof Cross Bars vs. Roof Rack

    Reviving this thread with a few questions, perhaps someone can help me: 1.- Are the Yakima 1 A Towers tall enough for the bar to go over without scratching? Also, what's their weight limit? 2.- What's the minimum length of the bars? Asking because there's a set that is dirt cheap around me...

    For Sale California early FJ40 top and doors

    Hi! How bad is the rust on the Bifold Door and the top? Can you give us pics of the underside of the seats? Unless, of course, @kevos37 has already purchased. Best, J

    Wanted Early wiper arms, `66 FJ40 need 2

    More will show up, guaranteed. Time is your best ally. Sometimes it just makes sense to be practical. The thing about these manufacturers is that they competed for the Japanese market amongst themselves so ended up making very similar products that could be sold as an alternative to their...

    Wanted Early wiper arms, `66 FJ40 need 2

    I used Mitsuba brand japanese wiper arms on my build. They occasionally appear on eBay and are EXACTLY like the TNK´s. This is one I found: Here you can see them mounted on my build with OEM blades: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/my-mexican-1965-fj40v-build-thread.1218839/post-14157404
