    Fj40 dash lights, bulb upgrade

    I have yet to swap out my flasher relay and my dash cluster leds work great. No issues what so ever. I’m also running incandescents on the exterior turn signals front and rear.

    Fj40 dash lights, bulb upgrade

    After talking with Rick more about bulbs, I found a bulb on amazon that corrects the fitment issues I had with my previous heater control knob bulb. Works well. I also picked up a similar bulb Rick and Cims are using in their dash pad. Found it on superbrightLEDs. I've since updated post #40 to...

    Help, I'm in FJ40 door weatherstrip replacement hell

    x2! I thought the previous weatherstrip I removed from my doors was oem. They were installed recently and it was obvious the installer did not following the proper cleaning process before mounting them. I was able to pull off all the weatherstrip with ease. After picking up the oem stuff, I...

    Help, I'm in FJ40 door weatherstrip replacement hell

    Installed oem weatherstrip on all 4 doors this weekend using 3M 8011. I was out of brake cleaner, but had a store nearby that sells Denatured Alcohol, so went that route. Cleaned the weatherstripping and doors with that DNA first. I then followed the YouTube video posted previously on how to...

    Help, I'm in FJ40 door weatherstrip replacement hell

    just to confirm, when you installed your oem weatherstrip, did you clean both the pieces and the metal doors before installing? If so, what did you use? I just picked up 2 oem pieces for the rear amby doors. Already have the 3M 8011. I’ll be doing mine as soon as I get the old ones off and just...

    SOR sliding fj40 cargo windows?

    I had planned to convert my Feb/76 40 side windows to popouts, but just went back stock instead with new glass and weatherstrip. However if you or anyone else needs the body support pieces that the popouts mount to, I have a pair of oem ones cut from a trashed top. No idea on a price. Just shoot...

    Seat Belt Restoration

    Oh yes! I know him. His name is Ash. He’s restored some parts (and helped me locate parts I could not find) for me here and there over the past year. Super nice guy and always available to talk to. IMO, his work is better than oem. He restored a NLA left mirror arm for my 40. When I held it next...

    Ultimate OEM 4X SERIES PARTS IN STOCK

    @wngrog, that is a good one. I was told my 2nd piece, coming from Japan, will make stops at 3 different distribution centers before it gets to my dealer. Fingers crossed it makes it in one piece. BTW, I checked and SOR sells aftermarket rear amby door glass (clear or tinted) and used oem...

    Ultimate OEM 4X SERIES PARTS IN STOCK

    Purchased 2 pieces of rear amby door glass and rear corner weatherstripping from my local dealer for my ‘76 40. (FWIW- I had my dealer check and the amby door glass weatherstripping is also still available.) Parts guy told me I got the last piece of glass in the US. My 2nd piece will be coming...

    Dash pad delete

    I've got my dash pads off at the moment...working up to repair the enlarged radio opening (and windshield repair). PO was such a cool cat, s/he cut the radio opening to fit a modern HU. With all the junk I've had to correct, I'm tempted to get a decal made to put on my back glass that reads- I ❤...

    Need help with radio install and enlarged dash cutout

    Nice. Thanks. At least the PO didn’t remove those tabs altogether. Should be able to pry them back out and repair the opening itself. Glad I’m not missing any framing inside there. Was not aware the HUs sat in the hole like the one you pictured. I just figured they overlapped the opening. Very...

    Need help with radio install and enlarged dash cutout

    Ah, thanks for the info. You’re a lifesaver. Exactly what I needed. That solves The HU and dimension issue. You don’t happen to have any pix of how the frame inside the dash opening should look without the HU installed do you? I’d like to know/see how a HU is mounted.

    Need help with radio install and enlarged dash cutout

    Need some help on a radio install for my ‘76 40. Looking to install either a stock HU or period correct HU w/ modern features. Either way, I want it to fit the stock slot, not a modern sized HU in the enlarged opening. Currently my 40 has: - a new antenna mounted, but no radio. - factory...

    I'm looking for pictures of how Toyota designed the mounting points for the bottom rear amby door hinges on 40s built between 1975 - 08/76 (interior shots of what's circled in green below). What do these points look like from inside the vehicle? Covered or exposed? I've seen firsthand how...
