    Radiator Painting Options

    I when bomb canning generally use a high temp gloss black. That’s what OEM was basically. If you don’t want the black paint flaking off in like 2 years, clean the s*** out of it and get it good and dry. Then first hit the bare brass with some self etching primer, then a top coat of a sandable...

    Builds Rescuing a Basket Case '72 FJ40

    Ding ding! Self etching is for bare surfaces - metal, fiberglass, some plastics. It's there to provide a hold for the next layer of primer to adhere to rather than the bare material. You really don't want to apply your paint directly to the self-etching primer. It can handle a little rust, like...

    For Sale Des Moines, IA: 1973 FJ40

    Nice rig. Need more pics. Underside, interior, engine bay, etc. Just some honest feedback, the way you worded the coolant leak sounds like a cracked block. Needs pics of it. GLWS

    Stolen FJ40 - Seattle - Tips for the Future

    Damn sorry to hear about this. I’ll keep my feelers out. My best theft prevention technique is to pull the coil plug wire and take it with me.

    For Sale Fj40 parts on eBay. $1.00 no reserve start

    Apparently it's impossible to exceed the weight limit of 70 pounds on their small flat rate boxes even if filled with the densest substance on Earth but damn people sure do try!

    Builds Clifford is home again- a 1965 FJ40 FST

    Awesome! So lets read the tea leaves here... The overlay is still intact, no copper showing. So not put under heavy loads for long periods of time and/or you have low mileage. If copper was showing, it's likely they are all like this and your new rear main would be leaking again in short order...

    That looks like normal wear from the skirts. Also appears to have been maintained with regular oil changes. Very nice! What you don't want to see is a nice polished mirror surface. How sharp is that edge at the bottom of the cylinder wall? I'd be curious to know if any FJ40 engine builders...

    Radiator and Heater Hoses for 1972

    Some of the OEM hoses are still available from Mr T but not all and not kits. I got mine from @cruiseroutfit. They had the ones you need as a kit. They are aftermarket I believe except for the bypass hose. I’m a perfectionist and these were just a bit longer than OEM so I trimmed them up a bit...
