I’m looking for 5 OEM FJ40 wheels in good condition for my 1978 FJ40. Willing to drive a radius of 100-150 miles from Greenville to pick them up. Would consider a set of 4. Don’t need any tires. I’m aware that new wheels are still available but trying to salvage a good set of they’re available...

What are the diameters of tubing for the seat frames. It looks like there are 3 diameters - for the back support, seat platform, and folding front leg. Is that correct?

Thanks for the offer. That’s very generous of you. I had already ordered a spray can of the 012 Cygnus white to try out. I also ordered a can of the Toyota gray and one of Freeborn red as I believe that’s the body color. I’ll try that on the rear cargo space as that’s now down to bare steel.

Thanks

Thanks, 70fj40. You guessed correctly so I’m used to hardball forums on rifles and shooting. ThIs seems pretty tame, there we tend to help newbies solve their problems though the occasional idiot is not unusual. I’ve learned quite a bit on this forum and finally got my fj40 running nicely and...

Thanks, dmaddox. I’m new to the FJ40, as you can readily see. I thought asking questions would get me sage advise, but I can see that those who consider themselves experts may not be very welcoming to newcomers. My FJ40 is an original US spec truck which has been restored off frame about 20...

Thanks.

Continuing with the rebuild of my 1978 FJ40. The white steel roof and front grill need to be repainted. What is the correct color code for the Toyota OEM white paint for these 2 pieces? Thanks for any knowledgeable input.

Thanks.

Thanks, ToyotaMatt. I have very similar tools as what you’ve cited. How is the faceplate attached to the gauge cluster?

“How do you plan to remove the needle?” I found thie video below and planned to do it this way. Do you have a different method to remove the needle and preserve it to reinstall in the new gauge cluster? I’m trying to learn the best way to do it because I’ve never done it before I don’t know...

I have an MPH used OEM gauge cluster and a NIB KPH gauge cluster for my FJ40. I’d like to switch the MPH faceplate into the new KPH cluster. I understand that I’ll need to do the known fix for the ammeter on the new cluster. Has anyone posted the disassembly process to accomplish the faceplate...

Matt, If still available, how much do you want for the dashboard? How much are you asking for the rear seats? If y ou prefer, please respond via PM. Thanks

ISO the rear upper quarter panels - preferably both sides but if not the passenger side at least - for my 1978 FJ40 LC. I’m describing the steel panels that hold the 2 windows nd curved glass and that attach to the hard top. Any leads on where to locate them or have them fabricated in the...
