    Fj40 Tail gate

    I agree. I had some made by my shoe repair guy out of vinyl I bought.

    Fj40 Tail gate

    Should work well. I zip tie bits of fuel hose over latches to cut down on rattles. Might also consider putting hose over the chains for the same reason and to protect the paint.

    Well, I have a few odds and ends left but I'm calling it done-ish. Won't there always be a few things to do? Am cosidering adding electic power steering.

    Well, the first drive was to the gas station. It made it but then would not start after. Luckily it was close, so we could tow it back with the spare LX. After replacing the fuel filter, all was good.

    Bought some two part undercoating/rust preventative from Eastwood and coated the underbelly. Really dressed it up! Also added some Bilsteins from City Racer.

    FJ40 headliner recommendations?

    @adavis It had foam backing but it was thin. I would guess it was an 1/8" or less.

    Sorry @adavis, I can't help you with a comparsion. I've only bought OEM. One consideration is whether you are keeping the truck long term. If so, you should consider going OEM. Let us know what you decide. Peter

    The OEM one is still available. See my build thread for the part #.

    Fuel Tank Drain Plug seal

    I used an oil plug gasket from my 1975 40 on my 10/79 tank. Perfect fit. I’ve attached a photo. The PN is 90430-25003. @OGBeno may have thoughts on whether this is appropriate.

    Yes. The PO had welded angle iron to mount the winch which made things easy. The problem was the fairlead. My crew fabbed up brackets for the fairlead. Worked out well!

    @knuckle47 Thanks for prompting me to go back and look at the pics from when I bought it. Man, this truck was ugly!
