My 70 FJ40 is using the 73 plate that was on my 68 when I bought it in 1974. This one was on here just for the picture.
Few years back I bought a front and rear AZ plates from 1969. Couple days later found the next number plate. These came different states, neither of which was AZ. Because my...
Probably not the same 40. Do not remember any roof rack or front tool box. I do remember it had an aftermarket A/C which was just above worthless in Phoenix during the summer.
Is that an orange 73? My ex wife cousin bought an orange 73 FHT new in 1973. I bought his stock wheels and hub caps in the later 70s. By the time we got a divorce in the 80s he has already sold it and moved on. Arizona vehicle be the same one. Got lucky and because my 73 was off the road by 88...
Where you buy your the speed boot? Could use a couple. Just lately realized the boot and retainer ring that I picked up from Man-A-Fre back in 1974 was probably the 9/73 version boot for the three speed. Only a few months the 74 model had a three speed in the US. Appear that boot is still...
Oak, Ponderosa Pine, Pinion, Juniper and Aspen are all available in Coconino National Forest. While rarer Maple can be found as well.
I answered you PM about the bellhousing cover.
You getting firewood to weight the springs down to break them in? I know Maricopa county "NO BURN" days is about 99.9% of the days in a year. Even Flagstaff has no burn days now. Probably head up north and cut some more oak. Coconino National Forest it's $20 four cords of hard wood. Want to burn...
Have you been up to the mill at Crown King? My daughter got married there in February last year. They go up to Crown King regularly and know the owner who opened it up for their wedding reception. A lot of cool old mining equipment there. Have a multi piston crusher.
You hauling it up on a car hauler? Back in the nineties I bought two hard tops and ambulance doors from Sedona Adventures. Picked one on the way back from camping on the rim. Was towing my 68 that had a soft top on at the time. Other one I drove my 79 up from Phoenix with no top or door. That...
You planning on having the top and doors on for the car show? Will be in the valley earlier in the week but not sticking for a car show. Still too hot for my liking.
Phoenix keeps breaking the record for the most days in a row over 110°. Yesterday I believe was twenty days. Most those days it's well over 110°. Lows are in the 90°s. Even early in the morning it's tough to paint.
Jack, Costco has a room heat pump on sale for $299. Says it will do a room up 550 square feet. Seems you spend most your time your awake time while at home in the garage. I would insulated your garage and get a couple of them. Suppose to be 116° today.
Aren't the 40 series brake lines double flared? For my FJ45 I was lucky and a HJ47RV ended up in a close by salvage yard. I pulled all the brake lines. Wheel base is the same and an easy way to update the smaller single circuit brake line to the larger dual circuit system. I know hard drawn...
The chrome clashes with the stainless steel, maybe he will sell it to you. I'm old and even I gave up a land line years ago. The way kids are today thought they could take you to court for not providing a person cellphone. When my kids were young it was a pager.
Always bothers me when a PO cuts the posts on the hard top side. The top gets a long of it's strength the those posts when it goes thru top and bottom holes in the tub. With the factory soft top bows your can stand on the running board and rock the cruiser side to side and the bows do not flex...
