Is this the color and style you are looking for? I don't know the year these are from but I got them for a project I never did. They have no significant rust but will take some clean up since the PO had some sort of lining on the inside that left an orange fuzz everywhere. I am up in the DC area...

No, these have been sold

Thanks for all the advice. A combination of the alchemy and an impact driver got 7 of the 8 bolts out. 1 got torn up and will need a screw extractor but good enough!

Yup, those are the stuck screws I'm talking about

Thanks to all for the ideas. I'll give a whirl. It is the bolts that attach the hinge to the header, not the ones that attach the hatch.

Hey I'm looking for more rust breaking tricks to try. The bolts for my hatch header hinges are rusted into the hatch header. I've used heat, PB Blaster and soaking in a vinegar bath. I can't get the bolts to budge and risk stripping the heads if I apply too much force. Any other thoughts on how...

Has anyone converted an ambulance header to a hatch header? It looks like the hardest part would be cutting the two rectangular holes. It wouldn't be a perfect conversion as it looks like there are some interior pieces welded into the hatch header but they appear to be for screwing in the hinge...

I have the sides for a hard top I am looking to move for $1000 plus shipping OBO. Also available for pickup in Northern Virginia. They are in good condition with the alignment posts intact. The glass is good and the seals look to be in good shape. There is little rust and no rust rot I can see...

I have a pair of good condition doors for sale. $800 plus shipping OBO. You can pick them up also if you want to drive to the Northern Virginia area. These doors have no rust rot that I can see and not much surface rust. They are both bent on one corner but that should be easy to straighten...

Matt, do you have the rear hatch strike plates that attach to the hardtop. I thought i saw at least one in an early picture. Also are the headrests and guide hardware available?

Hi, did you ever sell this carrier, hinges and latch?

Did you ever sell the rear hatch?

Thanks. I just wasn't sure if that would cause a short or some other problem

As you all know, the ignition on a 75 FJ40 (and maybe any year) won't work if it isn't connected to the ammeter. Is it possible to bypass this? I am replacing gauges with aftermarket and won't have an ammeter in the new cluster.
