I’d love the two pipes that you have without the T - and great timing since I’m just getting back into calendaring time to work on the 40.
For the insulation I haven’t come across anyone with an aftermarket option - the insulation on the ones I had taken out was in pretty decent shape - seemed...
Tom -
I’m definitely still interested. I’m getting closer to putting the dash back together and would love to be able to do the heater at the same time.
Unfortunately my old pipes with the rear heater split off went to a friend that was doing a rebuild with the rear heater since their...
This is where my thoughts are currently residing. The shop has a great reputation and I've had other paint work done there with excellent results - but this if the first time they're working on my FJ40 and they haven't done too many of them. I think that they're simply 'over it' and wanting a...
Hi there -
I've got aftermarket front fenders from CCOT and am having them painted along with the rest of my tub. The body is painted and the top of the fenders have been painted - and we are getting ready to handle the underside of the fenders.
Originally I was planning on having them...
Hi there - trying to find a set of front heater pipes for my 74 FJ40 - I have the original pipes that came with my rig but I am currently deleting the rear heater. Instead of capping the T's I'd love to find a set of heater pipes for just the front heater without the T's.
I've heard some...
This is perfect. Thank you. I knew there had to be a name for that type of bolt. A Shoulder Bolt!
I’ll get some measurements and find something that will work

Hi there -
I am in the process of restoring and reupholstering my seats on my 74 FJ40.
I have the bucket seats and years ago the passenger side lower seat bracket bolt snapped. The seat mostly held together with limited use not having the cap but holding that portion of the upper seat back...
Hi there. I’ve been working on a refresh/restore of my 1974 FJ40 for the past couple of years.
I’m finally tackling the front bucket seats and after removing the seat covers to try and figure out why my headrests haven’t been able to budge since I bought the rig 25 years ago I found the...
Thanks for the information - I've been reading through a bunch of threads and honestly the more I read the more confused I was getting. There seemed to be some thought in the threads that 'early doors' vs. 'late doors' were the issue. But from what you're saying its FST doors vs. hard top...
Cruisin -
Sorry to breathe life into a thread a little over a month old. But what modification did you need to make to the Real Steel B pillar to make them work with your doors? I see in your signature you've got a '74 - - - which I do as well.....wondering what you had to do to get them to...
I had ordered (and paid) Julie back on 12/2/2021.
I spoke with her on 12/8/2022 and she mentioned at the time that a poor employee had done poor work and she was redoing alot or orders that shipped incorrectly but once she cleared that backlog she would be good to go (albeit frustrated that...
Looks good. Thank you for the extra photos. I left a VM for you at the shop. I think I can work my schedule around to drive down to pick it up on the 28th if that would work for you.
Thanks again,
Ryan
Assume it still looks as good as it did back when you posted it a couple of years ago.
When are you back in the shop? - trying to figure out my schedule to drive down and pick it up.
Mark -
Thanks for the time on the phone yesterday - i look forward to hearing from you if you confirm you still have the hood. I'll then coordinate a drive down for pickup. Have a great weekend!

Hey there - hate to ping you on a 4 year old thread - but I’ve been scouring mud for any photos of any FJ40s in Heath Gray and yours came up.
Looks like you did tinted rhino liner (or equivalent) on the interior.
Any chance you have some more photos of this one to share?
My...
Thanks for the suggestion - I just did that. Hopefully someone sees it.
I have the hardest time searching through the classifieds - I tried to see if someone had one listed - but couldn't seem to find anything. Maybe someone will see this (or that post) and reach out.
Cheers.
