    Roof rack for FJ55

    Greetings, I'm looking for a roof rack for my 1978 FJ55 that is similar to the Slimline- low profile, clean design, light weight, flat to accommodate a RTT. I'm not a welder so no DIY.

    FJ55 Birfield axle upgrade

    I ordered and installed a Trail Gear Longfield axle kit for my 1978 FJ55. Shop I ordered from said it would fit the FJ55. It didn't. The outer axle stub is about a half inch shorter than the stock. I have Asco stock hubs. Before I pull the new axles and return them, does anyone know if a...

    Floor pans,bodymounts floor supports rockers and rear corners.

    Greetings, wondering if you are still fabricating FJ55 floor pans. I'm in the middle of a resto on a '78 and have discovered that the previous owner covered up the rust on the rockers, floor and some body panels by screwing and gluing new sheet metal over the old. I need driver's side floor...

    FJ55 Restoration

    @don- yes, thanks! I'm looking for a gas tank and a left side front turn signal (the mounting post on mine rusted and broke inside the fender). I'm also looking for a fuel gage or instrument cluster. Any chance you could give your gas tank a good look? If it looks like the rust isn't too bad...

    FJ55 Restoration

    I'm restoring my 1978 FJ55 and need advice on a few things. Will a stock alternator bracket from a 60 fit on a '78 55? What's the best way to go when replacing an old, mismatched alternator on the 55? Will a gas tank from a 1960's or early '70s FJ55 fit on a 1978 FJ55? Thanks in advance for any...

    FJ55 Gas Tank

    @3_puppies- Thanks. I'm in the Seattle area and would be happy to take that extra 1978 tank off your hands if it's in decent shape.

    FJ55 Gas Tank

    I'm restoring a 1978 FJ55 and need to replace my rusted gas tank. I found a 1974 tank and a 1975 tank both in good shape. Will a 1974 or 1975 FJ55 gas tank fit and hook up to my 1978? What about straps or mounting hardware? Thanks.
