    Might be easier yet to do a inline fuse holder. I'm more likely to be able to pack them in the junction box then.

    Newbie and his "restored" basket case 1972 FJ45

    Mine was painted early last year. Body off, rust cut out and repaired. Done well. Done right. It gets used. Its got scratches and chips. No dents in the body luckily, thanks to bumpers and sliders. But it gets taken to places it shouldn't be. I like having adventures and doing...

    That's a really good idea with the fuse holder. I think the j box I bought might be large enough to package everything inside too. Another idea might be to 3D print a holder for the solder in diodes. I can probably make that significantly smaller

    Flipping gross. Paint it nice then just F it up along the way.

    Currently. There is no power. I still need to wire that in. Along with an RV plug on the 40. My preference, would be it is always hot. But a relay and a switch to kill it in the vehicle might be a good idea. I think I've got one for sure, possibly two open holes in the relay block I...

    I've been monkey humping this idea for a while. I'm going to try and actually make it work now. My little camp trailer. I 3D printed a box to hold some switches, and a USB port. Turned out sweet I think. This is just out of PLA, and it's probably version 6.... I'll print the final from PETG...

    Is this original 1971 roof cap salvageable?

    Yes. I don't really like gelcoat. It works well to shoot it into a mold, then glass and bag, but shooting it onto a part is not pleasant. As a substrate to paint over, it's fine, and you've got something to sand through before getting to the fibreglass and the fuzzies. Toyota left them...

    Is this original 1971 roof cap salvageable?

    That can be repaired. The question is whether it's worth it. That fibreglass is really old, the resins are well past their prime. The previous owner hacked a sunroof into mine and I used a replacement cap from Classic Cruisers with my original gutter If I were to do it again, I would weld up...

    1982 FJ40 restart of a stalled out 16 year project truck

    Re-sealing the engine, since it is out, is pretty straight forward. I'd pull the head and grind the valves and seats. Valve seals will be done at that time as well. Valves probably don't need any attention, but the engine is out

    Show your FJ40 Camping, Drawer, or Storage Setup

    I had a drawer setup i made for my 40. Switched back to totes and a shelf for the dog. I use a trailer.
