Yes if you want the two panels i will ship. does $100 + shipping cost sound fair. i was hoping to just post this and be done, hence the added cost.

Hi Guys, it has been a while since i was on here. I have finished my FJ Project and i am left with a bunch of odds and ends. Everything is free except i would like $400 for both of the jump seats (or best offer) - Mid bed support - mid bed panel (both from CCOT) - soft door uppers - Carpet and...

Hi guys, i am trying to rebuild the carburetor on 1977 FJ40 2f motor. i am looking at the manual and it says i need some kind of retainer or something for this hole. i cannot find it on my work bench and i have looked super hard i have taken a picture of the hole that is would go in. does...

UPDATE: after finished putting the car together, fixing fuel neck & finishing all the polishing i learned a lot. First weld through Zinc primer is CRITICAL!! there was one side of the fuel neck that did not have any and it was already very rusted. it has only been maybe 8months and it was in a...

I’m scared to post more detailed pictures because at this point I think I may have installed everything upside down. Maybe the best option is ship it to Australia. Is that how it works?

That is the black thing? Thanks for pointing that out.

I was able to get in touch with the bestop folks. they have changed the part numbers but i have included them and the prices below. they should arrive early next week and hopefully I get everything I need. Rear Corner Retainer 370.87P - $63 Bow coupler 244.73 qty 2 @9.95 horizontal Rod...

I had to build a new ignition coil mount since the fenders i used had different mounts and i believe the previous owner jerry-rigged it a little too aggressively when they put in the dual battery setup. in other news i am getting pretty close to finishing up the last touches on this. I used...

Hi All, i have an old Bestop soft top it came with my FJ when i bought it except i do not have any of the mounting hardware other than the main metal bars. I have been searching online for replacement parts and sent an email to Bestop but have not heard back. i see alot of jeep kits and was...

For sure happy to show it off. Also Update on the 4x4 issue. I changed all diff, transfer case and tranny fluid and the back wheels turned in 2H so I think it is all sorted out. Still really hoping I don’t have to replace the rear main.

Now it has wheels. i took it for a very short test drive as there sill are no seats. i did discover that somehow i forgot the bib hinge when i painted everything else which was a major bummer. clearly i am not the most organized person. so yeah make sure you take the time to do the inventory and...

Okay i figured it out, picture 3 is the mid heat shield above the exhaust and picture 4 is a left rear splash shield for 79-84 FJ40. I am debating if i should order the right one for my 77 or not.

I think i have a plan for fuel neck support, i got some "Wet Towel" heat absorbing gel and a small reciprocating saw so also ordered a backup neck support so i can remove sections and not have to worry about putting it all back together exactly. Can anyone help me Identify these two pieces? I...

I wrapping up a rebuild and have some stuff that I now have duplicates of. also have some other odds and ends. free to a good home. in a week or two I will have about half gallon / gallon paints of SPI. Epoxy Primer, Urethane Primer, Universal Clear and some other stuff. Anyway let me know if...

Have any of you had any experience with something like Heat Freeze?? I cannot find many videos of it working that were not made by the manufacturer. If there claims are accurate maybe I can use this to keep the heat from spreading if I put it on the inside and outside of the "Fuel Neck Support"...
