Whoever asked about the hood... It is rust free and in great shape also. Matt

69' Cruiser Begining stages Yes this is a FJ40. Dropped the price to $800, and still available. The tranny and frame is in my garage where I had been cleaning it. The body and all parts are in a storage unit. This needs to go, thus the price drop. Matt

I pulled it apart and stuck the body parts in storage, it includes all the typical body parts, interior seats and jump seats etc. The tub has the typical rust at the back end and under the doors, but not as bad as others I have seen. Hard top is in fair condition with no rust. Transfer case...

I just read a few things about brakes, and plan to order the brake conversion system for the rear to start. Do I need to consider changing the rear Diff for any reason? As for kits there seems to be a couple companies making conversion kits, so does anyone know which one is the best system...

:D To get the steering box off (in a 1969, no rag joint) I took apart the drag ling to the pitman arm, and that worked just fine. Now all the body parts are in a storage unit and I am ready for the next stage. My first thought is to gunk clean the frame and analyze my direction: Considering...

what is a rag joint? I took a bolt out at the base of the shaft that had a spacer washer that fit in the crack of the shafter tube. This thing that has the bolt in it slides around the tube and I have no idea what it is for. I am going to try to remove the turn signal piece tonight and see if...

It has the hole in the floor for floor shifter. I did take off the bolts holding the column to the dash but not the ring holding the turn signal mech. Based on what your saying I should remove that and it should allow me to take off the tube over the shaft. Will the shaft slide out after that...

No shifter! I bought the LC with now engine. It does have a bell housing for a Chevy 350 and adapter plate, as well as the original transfer case. I plan to put in a Chevy 350 engine, and so I am not sure if I answered your question. Your right about the pittman arm, I broke my universal...

I unbolted the 4 bolts that hold the box and tried to remove the arm that connects to the box for the steering rod, but it will not pull off, and I broke my puller trying. I took the bolt off the shaft bottom and it still wont move. Maybe I will just take some pictures and show what I am...

Just bought a 1969 TLC fj40 and my first goal was to take everything off. I am down to just raising the tub and Cowl. I cant get the steering wheel shaft off. Is there a way to go about this? After that I plan to clean up the frame, (no rust) and start my rebuild from there. Isuses to...
