Old thread, but still helping others on their journeys. Thanks to the OP for a grade A write up👍🏻

Are there any forum member discounts that can be applied to a set of hinges for new customers?

I will keep this thread up to date on if/what/when.

Really cool truck! Has it been painted or is that the factory paint?

it looks good. I liked my Tundra so much that after I bought it, I found one for my dad to replace his POS Ford Ranger.

. nice one! What model camper?

I started a facebook group for Oregon Fj40 owners. I‘d like to plan some events on my property starting next spring. I have lots of space, parking for at least 40 vehicles and even some small climbing areas for those that want to play. the event will be hosted at The Jalopy Barn at my place in...

great find! They are only original once.

I have the frame brackets, just not the bump stop.

My 40 came without rear bump stops. I was planning on buying the kit from CCOT, but it was out of stock when I ordered. I’m really not wanting to pay $30 a piece for new toyota ones. Does anyone have some servicable stock rear bumps gathering dust? I dont mind if they are dirty/rusty as I can...

thanks. It has a split seam in it, but it has a 30% or so overlap and IMO its much better than the split plastic loom because it does not have the chance of holding moisture.

wow had no idea, that is an incredible deal!

I also prefer halogen on any of my older builds. You just have to have them wired properly to get the maximum output. This is the relay block I put together for my 40. I’m using the same Hella H4 E-codes ive used for years on builds.

Thats what I thought, but they must have had some reasoning behind adding it. All the work was done by a local fab shop the builds street rods.

So the shop that the PO had do the work on my 40 installed a panhard bar on the front of the truck. This 40 has stock suspension with a 350 sbc and power steering. What would be the biggest benefit of having a panhard on this?
