Is there any certain order that a body tub needs to be repaired. I’m replacing everything but the cowl assembly, the b pillars and the attached quarter panel top rails. Should I just cut the cowl from the main tub or should I replace rockers and quarters first. Any help is Greatly appreciated...
I know this has probably been addressed before, but I’m not having luck finding a current answer. Does anybody currently make data plates? I’m just getting started in a restomod on my 79 FJ40. It was originally mustard yellow code 532. If I want to change the color is it possible to get a data...
Hi everyone. I found a really good looking body tub from China through Alibaba.com, and through communication found out that it would cost 6400.00 picked up at port. Does this sound like a fair deal? Obviously, I would have to pony up having it shipped to my house. I guess the first question is...
Does anybody know what the differences on passenger floorboards were on the later FJ40s 1979 thru 1984? I knw it’s a pretty random question, but I’m replacing my floorboards and some of the options have a raised section that my stock one doesn’t have. I don’t want a new floorboar to create...
Has anybody had any dealings with an Ebayer called Vintage 4x4? He has a front floorboard assembly for a 79 FJ40 that would make my life much easier if it worked out. I need to replace the rusted out floorboards on mine and part of the front tub where the front meets the rear,right at the...
I finally got started on my 1/1979 FJ40. Got the spare, carrier and ambulance doors off. Man there’s a lot of rust. I think I’m just going to take it slow, one rust problem at a time. I’m afraid if I have it sandblasted, it will fall apart. Not much holding it together I don’t think.
Does nobody know of anybody that makes body mounts for an FJ40 1/1979. Mine is way more rusty than I originally thought. What can I say, I complete noob at this and after buying sight unseen have discovered is worse than thought. I bought a butt load of body parts from CCOT to fix but after...
Hi everybody, this is my current build. I bought this FJ40 back in November. I’ve got all the body parts to fix the massive trust issues. In retrospect, I probably should have gone with an Aqualu 3/4 tub. My original idea was to try to keep as much of the original tub as I could. Not much left...
Hey everyone. I'm new to this site. I just purchased. a 1979 FJ40 off eBay. The ad said not much rust and the photos looked pretty good. When I got it it has to be the rustiest vehicle I have ever owned. I've got most of the body parts from Cool Cruisers. Great to deal with. Adrian and Mary Beth...
