tahoe40/45's latest activity

I've had these Wiper Motor Terminal Covers accurately reproduced from EPDM Rubber. These are made using a Mold designed exactly as per original specification. $78USD.

Im in for a couple sets.

You could make your own bow to go into the B-pillar and lock it in with the bolt that tightens up against the hard top post that go into the B-pillar, that would probably be the easiest. Maybe that makes sense.

Is it also spring green inside the engine bay? Either a repaint or spring green used as a primer. Depending on what the factory had available, many 40's were built slightly different. Your title with "FJ" isn't going to get any fans here, might...

@WyoMike I’d like to see the dual turn signal lenses recreated…any interest? I’d bet the LV guys would like to see the taillight lense recreated as well?!?!?

I would be in for a FJ25 license plate light.

I have the lens for the FJ25 licence plate light. Would a very small market. I also have a dual turn signal lens that could be used to make molds. Probably a bigger market for those. Mike if you decide to tackle those I can mail you what I have.

Thanks Antony, they are the 16x6 FJCompany aluminum wheels I bought from a mud member who went a different direction. The tires are my go to size 255/85/16 on the 45’s. I was happy to get them in black. I think you can only order grey now. I...

I like the black wheels, nice upgrade! Are those 15" or 16"?

Finally got my new Alcan springs installed. Really liking the stance and the ride. Beefed up the front in anticipation of my new refurbished Warn 8274 and OPmachine front bumper.

I got a loaner from “Living in the Past”. The mold turn out great but the pour had bubbles. Still the lens very usable and I plan on using it. Need to perfect the mixture. I need a vacuum pot to remove the bubbles. Work in progress.

Well since Fritz sanded most of the driver side original paint off when he painted it yellow I made the decision to go all in on a paint job. This is such a clean damage free body! Teaser pic.. The final product should be nice. No I’m not going...

They're done. Ready for sale

I recently got a carburetor in for rebuilding with a note from the customer saying that it had a flat spot after the last shop worked on it. Now those of us who've fussed with carbs for any amount of time know that there are many, many reasons...

Thanks sent a message.

Picked up some reading material as a deal of the day on ebay. 75 for the both of them. There's just some about the feel paper as you are reading something.

You will need to get creative and make a bracket with some capture nuts, then weld it in place on your bib. Or get a 74 bib.

Really cool! Congrats Mike

1/79 the style changed to lift the hood a little pushed a plate back. Blue is the early style and red is the 1/79+ style In other markets a style with a latch connected to a cable that ran to a interior release handle on the driver's side.

You can try @65swb45, its best to call him at his shop, or some of the other vendors that sell used parts.

You could put a stock hood latch from a 1974 + Cruiser if thats what your looking for. Stolen photo:

Thank you both! I haven been helping a family member deal with a sudden cancer diagnosis. Unfortunately it was caught too late and we are just working to make sure they are comfortable. :( One of those terrible life lessons on how fast things can...

I second or third that. Very cool video, and thanks for sharing. Awesome.

Dig it!
