    TP Auto Parts Store to Open -- Complete Sets of FJ40/FJ45 (79 - 83) Body Parts and Assemblies

    I bet the splash shields that go by the radiator and sides of the engine would be a good item 🤔 I have to repair mine.

    Unfortunately the fuel tank floor access panel is about 1/4" bigger in each direction and does not fit in my floor, also the bolt holes aren't countersunk. Hopefully the return process goes well. The steel is the proper gauge, I'll give them that. I wonder if there were factory variations of...

    Catastrophic battery drain

    I bought a clamp meter which is great for stuff like this, will show you how many amps is being drawn. Then you can easily confirm if it's that circuit. But you'd have to make sure the one you get can handle DC current too, some are AC only.

    I think most of us are willing to pay a bit more for thicker metal, just saying :) glad to see this stuff becoming available

    Best Way to Treat this Rust

    Yeah wire brush the bubbled paint to expose it all. Then I would recommend rust dissolving gel. If the interior is empty it'd be faster and easier (but messier) to use the gun from a blasting cabinet.

    The Perfect Land Cruiser: The FJ Company's Reimagined And Modernized Take of A Classic SUV

    If one wants a cool looking vehicle with modern performance, it seems like buying a new Wrangler or Bronco is the way to go. Not unique enough? Good thing you'll have 200k left to customize it! If I did have unlimited money, I'd want one of these but with cable lockers, a mechanical diesel...

    I have questions about the Jeep Wave protocol...

    I really liked my CJ5. Wanted a vehicle of the same basic formula but a little bigger and with a hardtop, hence switching to a BJ44.

    I have questions about the Jeep Wave protocol...

    I think the "jeep wave" used to mean a lot more. Having a Jeep meant having a certain lifestyle, but that hasn't been the case since they've had 4 doors and bluetooth 😆 I'm pretty tempted to wave at anything with an inline 6, leaf springs, a removable top, and solid axles. That's a good recipe...

    I asked Megazip about those light guards, since I'm hoping to order a bunch of other stuff from them soon. I'll let everyone know what they say. I've established I'll have this thing for a long time and that aftermarket stuff is rarely as good as OEM, so I'm getting very excited to see what else...

    I'm kinda curious on the 3B oil pump parts. It's awesome and I'm glad to see 3B parts, but that doesn't seem like something people have to replace much... I want it regardless, cause 3B. Maybe I'll have some extra money in a few months. I definitely will get the light guards.

    Even if the parts are expensive, I hope enough people buy to show interest in the program.

    1st FJ40, Long TIme Toyota Guy

    On the outside of the body, I would do some research on rust converters (ospho?), either that or leave it alone. Underneath, I would do the fluid film, that will help out with the seams and such where the rust begins. I reapply it once a year before the rainy season, and yeah keeping it away...

    This isn't directed at anyone but they're gonna have a hard time deciding when everyone has requested every part :hmm: haha

    Door rust

    In addition to what everyone else is suggesting, you can follow up with SEM 39573 rust preventer cavity wax. I'd make sure whatever else is dry/cured first.
