My top is a 81 with the rear vent windows and the top is on my 74 just because 40 parts here in the Philippines are as scarce as frog hair. Is the side glass and corner glasses interchangable on these...

    40 side door pre 75 Question.

    I am asking because I really do not know the answer. My 74 had later model doors on it when I got it several years ago and since then I replaced them with the pre 75 doors.

    Philippine LHD 40's

    Thought I would add a few 40's along with Pearly in Malaysia just to show these babies are alive around the world. Most here are Diesel Bj40's or Fj40 to Diesel conversions for economy. My rig is still a 2F and there are a few still around but rare.:cheers: Rob

    Smitty Built 8000 lb. Worth it?

    Found this Chi-com made 8000 Lb. winch for $300.00 U.S. used but not abused. Cable is in good shape as is everything I could see but I would very seldom use it. Warns here go for 90,000 Pesos or $2,100.00 new for a 8000 lb. Would it be worth the money or?

    Better lock on early doors?

    I was just wondering if anyone has ever found a door lock for pre 74 doors that looked close to oem but functioned better? The oem lock is available here but not mail order and it is a major production to try and get to where they are but I plan to go and get one anyway. At this point I have my...
