****ing Love Bugs. I think this thing is totalled.

No idea how that booster got out of whack. Oh wait… I installed it 😁

Not to mention how beautiful it is. Really a fantastic looking 40

The top might not see the road again but don't worry, another generation of little ones is already thoroughly enjoying it!

And for the soft top installed... The top looks great from a far but it tears easily and is ready to be retired. However it looks amazing with the patina and will make a fine template. I also found a mini Flora Jean and painted her to...

I had some time today to work on Flora Jean. Figured I would tackle the soft top and work on fitting the half doors. The bows went together just as easy as they did.... checks notes... 6 years ago... But this time painted. The color match was...

A little maintenance this weekend. Yesterday I got a much needed welding job on a broken exhaust hanger. Today was an oil change. 21,441 kms or about 13,332 miles. The last oil change was at around 9,000 miles. Runs like a top and is now ready...

Yeah I think the big downside would be the pulling of the nasty engine bay air into the cab. Not worth it.

I certainly want one and am happy to prepay/deposit/make a contribution/etc. Thank you!

We have an extra on hand we are going to get modeled up and get this project rolling. :steer:

Got a set put on a 60 today. I removed a clapped out OME kit with 3" longer shackles Total game changer. Ride and handling are greatly improved.

Just an example of what a reputable business will do; I am eating $15k on a job right now which may go to $20k. I feel it is due to subcontracts and overseas parts. However, it’s my business and it went through me with my recommendations to the...

I'm not so sure I agree it's always been an issue and for the same exact reasons, before social media was what it is now what happened with wits end still happened here and guys still covered it up and made excuses letting other guys get ripped...

New build! This is a super funk build. Frame is a 1983 Cannondale ST-500 sport tourer, first year they made bikes which is cool. I had a Mavic 851 rear derailleur I fell in love with and really wanted to use. But I wanted to run a triple. So I...

He’s no longer a member of this forum. I have the same selection though and would be happy to send you some and help you make sure it’s the right one for what you need. Shoot me a PM

Boldly following @Skreddy ‘s lead :steer: Thankfully had his modification pictures to guide me on how to tackle this. Super excited to have this completed and drive the 40 again.

That line from Star Trek comes to mind: Boldly going where no man has gone before!

Finally got done with cutting and welding the transmission hump! Lots of nights with just a little spare time so it took a bit. This was my first real welding project and I think it came out pretty decent! Next step is to 2k epoxy primer, then a...

If no one is already making a replacement we could model a flat panel that snaps in if people are interested.

Fuel fill cover panel.

My eyes love it, but my wallet is crying :frown:

Hey all! Any other early cruiser owners potentially interested in reproduction large “ear” wing nuts for the battery hold downs? Working with a local owner who has an original and looking into options. I want a pair for my truck and curious about...

I finally have a FJ25. My buddy @rockcod found this on FB market place a few days ago and sent it to me. Well even with everything going on getting ready for Bonneville I couldn't pass the chance. So we made a deal over the phone and picked it up...

If you are an early to mid FJ40 wiper motor, probably not good. ;) A recent customer of mine was not happy with the condition of the pivot tube threads on a pair of motors I restored, so I decided it was high time I upped my resto game. Just...

A bit late here, but for future reference, the filter mount from the 1UR FE in the Lexus GX460 could be a clearance/problem solver here. The good is that it mounts the filter horizontally which gains an inch or two of clearance. The bad is that...
