Hi all,
I’m in the process of adding a hard top for a 76 FJ40. Everything I’m finding locally is too far gone for the level of repair I’m willing to put in so I’ve decided to try out a hard top build using parts manufactured in China from Jiangsu Juncheng (I’ve read some positive reports about their front doors). My plan is to try their side panels and ambulance doors and weld an aftermarket rain gutter kit to a fiberglass top sourced locally. The ambulance doors came in today. They were ordered direct from the manufacturer through Alibaba. The price was 900 for the two doors plus 200 shipping. My only hesitation was them getting banged up during shipping. When they arrived the packaging job was terrible. They were essentially put in a box with zero padding. By some miracle I dodged a bullet and the doors were essentially unscathed except for one small ding that can easily be repaired. My first impression is that the build quality is excellent and appears to be the same gauge steel as front doors. I believe these are the same manufacturer as sold by Topnault. I have Topnault panels on order now and will post more on fit later.
