    Any “Master list” of older radios that fit without cutting the dash?

    I looked through the links and also did a search for stereos, radios, and speakers and couldn’t find what I was looking for. I recall that someone mentioned an Audiovox radio that fit and that you can occasionally find them on eBay. Someone else mentioned a Dual 1222 radio fits but looking at...

    Another Turn Signal/Flasher relay issue

    Howdy. I’ve done a quick search on the forum with this title, and there are a ton of old posts with this title. Perusing through the first dozen threads didn’t really help with my particular issue. My issue is that my turn signals work Intermittently- some days it works, some days it...

    Beware of LeRoy Cordova of Delray beach

    Anyone who is looking at one of his “restored” rigs (he flips FJ45s primarily but also FJ40s and other rigs), beware. IME, I’d steer well clear of anything he sells. I bought his “frame-off” restored 1977 FJ40 back in December 2017 off eBay. He claimed it was frame-off restoration. He stated...

    Frustrated with my new rig. Need a new carb for my 40! Arghhh!

    My rig which I recently picked 3 months ago needs a lot of work. When I first got it, it wouldn’t pass smog here in Oregon so I had the carb worked on by Paragon Automotive. They got it to pass. I was told all the fluids were old and some had high water content and recommended replacement...

    Modern Radios

    I posted a thread about radios and speakers awhile ago. At first I was hesitant to install a modern radio due to the necessity of cutting the dash. Well, I’m not as disinclined to do that as I once was. I think I might be convinced into it. So, can anyone post pics of their modern radios...

    CCOT “Best” weather stripping

    I recently finished the back ambulance doors and it turned out pretty good in my humble opinion. Only one part of the strip sticks out when the doors are closed, and I’m trying to remedy that with more 3m adhesive. While starting on the front doors, I noticed that the “LH” (which I understand...

    Radios and speaker set ups (I’ve read through the FAQ speaker links...

    and only a couple were useful, since the other posts were so old that the pics and links were no longer valid). I’m looking for a box that will fit the corner of the quarter panels and something for the front. But I don’t like the set up near the kick plates. As others mentioned, a good...

    Jacks, tools, and other must-have stuff I need for my rig...

    Ok, I’m in need of a jack, and tools for the rig. What aftermarket stuff are you guys using? And no, I’m not in the need for spending $$$ on original TEQ jacks and tool set. Are you using bottles, scissors, mini-hydraulics for carrying in the rig? I know the original TEQ jack was a bottle...

    Put a little bling on my rig

    took off the rust patina hood hooks and replaced them with black ones. Also, I didn’t have the window hooks so I got the matching blackie blings too. Knowing that a lot of you folks here like patina, should I have done it? Next up (when the weather gets warmer) is the new weather...

    My dilemma- keep current wheel set up and buy 1 spare or buy 5 new wagon wheels?

    I previously posted about the current wheel set up for my rig here: Couple questions about wheels, and axles on my rig After a little research, I found that to add a spare it will cost me as much buying a new set of 5 Jackman-style wagon wheels. To get a matching spare, it’s $290 (used...

    Couple questions about wheels, and axles on my rig

    First question I have is “how can I tell if my current wheel will fit the stock spare tire rack”? My rig doesn’t have a spare, and the wheels are 15x7 Enkies from a mid-to-late 90s 4Runner/Tacoma. It was powder coated black and has BFG AT 31x10.5x15. I found a couple of used wheels on eBay...

    Are these rear “bullet” lights reflectors only?

    I thought they were turn signals or brake lights but cruiser parts stores list them as reflectors. Also, what’s the best way to put a 2” inch hitch on this so that I can put a yalima hitch mount bike rack on my rig. Should I go to uhaul and have the install a hitch attachment to the frame? TIA.

    What does a “stock” winch look like?

    Were they Warn or a Japanese brand? TIA.

    Shipping a vehicle across the country...open or closed?

    I'd like to get your opinions on shipping a rig across the country. My rig will be coming from FL to OR and I've got quotes for both open and closed shipping. Open is $1400. Closed is $2300. Is it worth the extra $900 for closed? What have you guys done when shipping? Risk the potential...

    Adding a gas tank on a 40 without having to add a separate filler cap?

    What are the options out there? I'm thinking about future changes to my soon-to-be 40, and I was thinking of adding an extra tank. However, I don't want to cut a hole in the rear panel to add the extra filler cap. I would want to avoid that at all cost, so I started thinking if it would be...

    Where to buy new Jackman style wheels?

    I'm looking to put different wheels on the rig I'm getting. It currently has new style TRD wheels with 31x10.5s. I like the white 5 spoke wagon wheel look. Anyone know where to get these? I was told they can be had for dirt cheap. TIA.

    Cut Wheel Wells...SMH

    Why oh why!?!?!? I found a nice rig that I really like. It’s got 4 wheel discs, & Weber carb. It was a frame-off restoration 8 years ago, so it shows some rust on the edges but nothing in the panels. It’s alkost perfect....except for the cut wheel wells!! It’s got fender flares on it so...

    Wanted  Looking for another option: a rust-free, mechanically sound but ugly 40

    ok, so I'm earnestly looking to purchase a 40. I have cash in hand as well as a pre-approved loan from my bank. Currently I have 2 possibles from this forum, as well as 2 from eBay. Thought I'd try another approach to see if anyone has a 40 as I described in the title. Rust free is priority...

    eBay  How do you reconcile the inability to test drive eBay rigs?

    Or even the classified here? There are several I'm interested in that seem like good deals, but without being able to closely inspect and test drive these rigs, how do you know your making the right choice? Especially on eBay, where sellers can be not-so above board when describing their rigs...

    F155 a lot less desirable than 2F???

    I’m looking at a rig that has a F155 engine. How much less power/torque/speed is felt or noticed between the two engines? Is the 2F engine something worth holding out for?
