I'm tracking down roll bar padding with summer on the way and I'm leaning towards SOR's since it comes with a cover.
But I have a 72 (stock) and SOR only sells padding from 9/73-9/77 and later.
I measured the bar earlier and it's close to 2 inches around. Will the 9/73-9/77 fit?

Sorry to hijack - but I might need different advice than baldboy. Mine's a 72 with original F. Is the fuse still in the same place? Or am I probably looking at a totally different problem and solution? Thanks.

Same Problem
The exact same problem JUST (yesterday afternoon) happened to me - minus the steep grades and pushing it a bit hard. Gotta stay on the gas or it dies. Eventually, it becomes a bit tougher to start after each shut down. WTF? Will check out the fuse. Thanks a bunch.

I've got a grey set of 1/2 doors and a grey bikini top - I want them both black. What's the best way to get them that way? Paint? What kind? What won't rub off? Thanks.

Yup - I need one parking brake cable for a '72. ASAP as close to PA as possible. Tired of looking for flat parking lots... Gimme a cost plus shipping to 19081. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that I just need a good motor guy. Some transmission and exhaust work needed in the not-to-distant future. Minor electrical issues...
I'm in Swarthmore, PA - 19081. Southwest suburbs.
Thanks.

So I brought my 1st one home today from GA. :D
A 72, mostly stock, handled fairly well from GA. Even pushed her to about 65 mph (but who really knows?) on I-95.
There were a couple issues that I just don't feel capable of attending to and I'd like to find a mechanic in the Philly area.
I...
I bought mine back in February, but I'm flying down to pick it (a '72) up on the 30th of June from northern GA. Day 1 to Durham, NC. Day 2 to DC. Day 3 back home to Philly. Then I'm moving to TX in it later this summer. Trying to save some money in case the sh!t hits the fan on either trek...
soft/half doors or top
Hi there-
I'm looking for the following:
1) Full or half front doors - interested in just about anything but regular stock front doors, but I'll take cut stock, soft, aluminum, diamond plating...
2) Soft tops
3) Cargo Utility Mat/carpeting for the back
If you've...
Okay -
So here's a potentially stupid idea (you don't have to be gentle anymore):
Now I know how this forum feels about diamond plating, and I don't really disagree, but it may be somewhat useful here.
What if I can outfit the back of the 40 with a relatively thin layer of diamond...
Thanks for the replies.
Yeah, that is a pretty steep price for the seats, even though they look to be in good shape. I got my bench seat off ebay - it's an 8/10 - but it was only 60 shipped from CA to Philly.
The FAQ link was helpful - I had visited some of those threads before. I...
This is my first post , so be gentle...
After researching fj's off and on (during my college years), I just went out and bought a 72 fj40 (my first one!). I'm picking it up at the end of June. Except for the tires, wheels, stereo, and a couple smaller details, it's all stock. There is a...
