wow... seriously? Thanks! What category is that listed under????? I'm going shopping now.....

Thanks!! I just checked out their website, and they do not list brakes? Unless I am missing something? Is it something I should call them (phone) to inquire about. And please bear with me, as I am not yet proficient in who the GO TO guys are when it comes to bringing these trucks back, while...

thanks for the quick reply Brian.. How much "stuff" will I need to make the early 70's setup work? Or better question, and one I probably should have asked in the first place. From a cost/ease perspective, does it makes sense to rebuild the original brake system back to original? And if...

So, as mentioned in my introductory post, I am new to the world of FJ's. Since purchase, I've been driving the heck out of the '73 (desert tan one) when time allows and have now got the '69 parts truck running to the point where it has now officially graduated from being a parts truck, to a...

Just wanted to say thanks to Mark.. Part showed up quick, and did exactly what I needed it to do. I've now got an absolute pile of cosmetic garbage FJ40 that runs like a swiss (er, Japanese) watch with the addition of the used points (from the nice FJ) and brand spanking new china carb ($80.00...

alerts on parts.....check! I see what you guys are saying about the photos making the '73's tub look longer, but the tape measure doesn't lie (and I've had one on my hip most days, for nearly 8 hours a day, for going on 25 years now so it's not operator error!) It doesn't help that "hunter...

Optical illusion I guess. I measured both and (thankfully, for the sake of top fitment) are same length and width.

Thanks! That's the same salute my wife gave me when I brought the camo one home..... The tub is all steel, homemade and very well built. The gauge of steel on the sides and through the rockers is 2x's as thick as it's Japanese counterpart. Welds are nice, etc. The tub floor is diamond plate...

So a couple of years ago, I decided that I "needed" to buy a Jeep. Something for the family and I to get out in and enjoy during the summer. I looked at a couple of CJ5's and a CJ3, but nothing excited me. I'm on a pretty tight budget when it comes to a "toy" like this, and have watched (from a...

Done! and Paid via Friends/Family Paypal. Thanks for the help!!

Ok, I'm in! Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it.

hi guys. In searching the interwebs looking for a part that I need for a long neglected fJ40 I just bought. (PO butchered and lost most carb parts) I came across another post. In a nutshell, I am looking to buy this part (see photo) If anybody has an extra, just as shown in the above pic...

Is this still available? Or do you have another? I am in need of this exact part to mount a carb on my '73 FJ40. Please let me know! I am ready to buy. Thanks so much.
