Got the soft top frame finished up this afternoon and draped the canvas over top. I love the color combo. Really excited to get this wrapped up. I think it looks perfect!

Meh. Kind of what I had been thinking really. But, I unloaded it for 4k as is. Kept the hood and bumper and sliders. I will sell the sliders and bumper kit locally and get another 1k or so back. Hood I will sell dirt cheap to get the big box out...

@0DG Any kind of liner on the roof is susceptible to lifting in the rain gutters, and rust will start. If you park the truck indoors, it might be ok, but every truck I see with bedliner on the roof (of any kind) invariably has issues at the...

Happy to report the seat covers arrived and I installed them today. Very happy with the end result. I have not attempted upholstery work before but the process was pretty simple and took me about 4 hours to complete both seats. I was even able...

To me, that sounds like a 4500 truck, so ask 5500 or more. Aftermarket mods (unless really well done) don't add much to the price. It sounds old and a little tired. Perhaps a great 'wheeler for someone, but many will want to spend a few...

The seller was last seen June 28 - I think you can all save your breath on this one....

Maybe something for a suburban would fit. You'd have to check dimensions vs ones on amazon or something

Some one asked me for an ambulance door cover.. So I made one..its printed and cheaper then most used ones (won't rust). https://solvefunction.com/shop/ols/products/ambulance-door-panel Now thats its added out, I can have these made of...

Big vacuum leak somewhere?

I finally had all seats ready to reinstall into the empty 40. I can't tell you how happy I am with the upgrade- not only the looks but they're so damn comfortable. It took me 3 years to get to it, wish I had done it sooner. I think it took me...

I’m a fan of the OE rims. The 16” ones on the early 100s in particular are functional and so cheap they’re practically disposable, but they don’t need to look that way. I scored some on FBM for next to nothing, but they were covered in...

This is the first time I have ever used Rusty (or any FJ40) to pull something. I know this was a pretty light load, but man... he did great. I couldn't even tell there was anything back there. It was super satisfying for me to be using this 40...

I discovered this by accident. A lower passenger-side (Right side in the US) works as an upper driver's (Left side) door hinge. You turn it upside down and bolt it on. Typically, the passenger's side lower hinge has very little wear, compared to...

the finished product after painting it with some spray can bed liner. some light foam on one side just because (not really needed)

I just got back from my second camping trip. The preventative maintenance between my last trip and this trip really set my mind at ease being 20 miles and 2 hours away from a road. The maintenance included: All new coolant hoses All new...

Read the owner's manual and the words printed on the brake fluid reservoir and check your brake fluid in the manner described (pumping the pedal 40x times). You must follow the correct procedure - don't just look at the reservoir and say that...

No, just the seals. It worked great before the rebuild, just leaked really bad.

You don't need a kit - you need 2 left-side 3rd gen wiper arms and the tiny plastic bolt covers... do more reading on Mud and you'll find all the info you need.

And Higgens is off to east Texas ..... Always great when the customer takes it for a test drive and they make it back 🤡

I'm reminded of one of those car ads from the past - No only do we stand behind our product, we will stand in front of it - car braking hard from like 120 mph to a dead stop just feet from the engineer's. The Aero Tank folks are local to me -...

Dog.

It has (apparently) a Colorado emission sticker in the windshield. Looks pretty clean. I would not try to start it until you pull the plugs and put some ATF down the cylinders (and all the other things you do to a long-parked truck).

Threw a new used clutch in it. Finishing the details. It was shuddering and the clutch assembly was cooked.

A complete setup would be 2-3K, but your parts pile (disassembled, without gearbox) seems more like 1K to me. Driveshafts are hard to find, so look for all your parts.
