    Builds 1975 Red Money pit

    whats the order you did those braces in the wheel wells? I'm asking because I replaced my wheel wells now need to put in these brace panels that connect through the well into the roll bar. I'm thinking I position the brace panels in and weld them from the upper side (drilling holes in the...

    Builds Whitey Forty - Tilda Bogue Service Station

    With much deference to Steve Martin, Carl Reiner, and "The Jerk"... I think its better name would have been. "Don't trust whitey"

    74 '40 Build LM7/NV4500

    SW Colorado. Offhand that looks like the little valley over by Perrins Peak....but everything is brown right now. Where are you located? I'm over on Junction Creek.

    79 rear wiring harness oddity

    Wild.. Did not have that plug on my May '79 harness. I had to add it when I rebuilt my harness from scratch.

    What do I do?

    Hoot. "Fly on the wall" watches in fond remembrance of previous attempts with torch, bolt extractor, kroil soaking. "Anything is possible".

    What do I do?

    You have enough bubbling around that area between the capture nuts and window that I'd clean that up and see how bad it really looks first. You may need to cut it out and replace a small section there....hoping to not cut into the complicated bend at the window. If it looks ok and just...

    Heritage 3/4 tub vs. sheat metal?

    As someone who has gone the route of CCOT panels on a '79... I can say the panels are fine but if you are replacing a lot of metal (which you almost assuredly in the same boat as I was)..... GO WITH SOME FULL OR PARTIAL TUB. The cost and time just really really adds up using panels. I mean...

    1983 Toyota FJ40 missing connection

    Check specifically (and verify diligently) if its the A/C connector (add-on which is probably not present in your 40). I have a similar unused connector in my 79.

    Question for the welders/fixers

    I've had similar issues... Its very difficult to get this perfect even going with lowest heat and smaller wire. I use a shrinking disk and am quite fond of it. I would definitely try a shrinking disk on it...pretty foolproof tech....but its not a miracle. I have tried the "cut and...

    Technical Details: Topnault's FJ40 Mid-70s Tubs and More

    I suspect the next question is "does the two hole hinge variant line up with two of the holes on the three hole variant"? That would certainly make it easier for topnault to add a third hole+capture and knock out two variants at once (increasing their sale options). The SA cruiser license...

    Front Fenders - Paint question

    Anyone ever try to powder-coat that area in a close-match color? That rib and the rust it can harbor on the underside is definitely sub-optimal.

    Driving when it shouldn't

    Many perhaps cutting you some slack on saying "FJs"....but you may want to avoid the abbreviation. Personally I think we should reclaim the "FJ" singleton designation....but there was a non-landcruiser (FJ Cruiser discontinued) that used it prominently in its name and got shortened as "FJ"...

    Builds 1978 US Market FJ40 Factory Restoration

    Topnault is doing very very good things but I don't believe its exactly the same as oem. Perhaps source a used hood in good shape if your old really needs 50+ hours of body work? What you've done is unbelievably good....I think you probably know the answer already. Keep up the good work...
