I am beginning to think that I am blind. You are the second or third person in different threads I’ve posted for different problems that has seen something that I didn’t. When you point it out it’s obvious. Thanks.
I intentionally made sure both heat shields were in the pictures. I wouldn’t have known to look if it wasn’t for the pictures that the 2 of you sent. I wouldn’t have checked for them.
I don't know how to add multiple users to a reply, so I just made 2 of them. I want to thank you again for your pictures. I took it to a custom exhaust shop and I should have it back tomorrow. Both you and Living in the Past have been a great help. I'll post pictures Saturday of the results.
I looked for the heat shields. The one by the transfer case isn't there, but the one at the back end of the box is.
I used your pictures and brians to show the shop what I wanted. I'll post pictures Saturday of the results.
You have been a lot of help. I’ll see if those heat shields are there. They very well may not be because the guy I bought it from took everything off, bead blasted everything to bare metal and replaced all rusted parts with metal. He works for a body shop and did this in his spare time. But I...
This is at the underside rear of the cruiser correct?
I appreciate the picture and I will talk to the shop installing the exhaust and see what they can put to shield the muffler or the tailpipe from putting excessive heat on a body part. I noticed that SOR shows a ‘clamp onto the exhaust pipe’...

So to make sure that I understand, you are saying salt can collect on that plate if it’s there and with the heat and salt it’s...
Thanks. I don’t plan on doing anything extreme with this FJ40 like I did with my previous ones. I do plan on getting that plate now that I know it’s missing, but I will probably put the muffler itself after the turn towards the passenger side to exhaust, like the pictures Brian sent.
I don’t...
Because of the pictures brian supplied I found out that I don’t have that skid plate. Found some used ones online and will probably get one.
I am taking it to a custom exhaust shop, not Midas, and he said that he can rout it however I want. I told him I don’t need factory parts but I’d like...
I'm going to get new exhaust system Friday. The current system ends underneath the drivers compartment pretty far in front of the drivers rear tire. I'm not trying to replicate all of the components but is there someplace I can get a layout of how my model year originally ran? The shop I took...
