    Door Hinge Rust

    I have a few locations that have started to develop rust on the body. Any idea what has caused this? I had it painted about 5 years ago. Maybe the prep was not so great. The door hinge metal appears to be bulging out and has developed 4 dimples when comparing it to the other side. There is...

    78 FJ40. Headlights not working.

    Thanks for all the advice. I will dive into it this weekend and see what I can come up with. I drove it over to the in-laws garage last night so it has a dry home for the winter since my two car garage is stuffed. I turned on the high beams thinking I would at least have one high beam on the...

    78 FJ40. Headlights not working.

    How strange, I am running into the exact same issue with my 78. The front lights went out at the same time. Right side bright is the only one that is working. Fuse it good, I even have a newer fuse panel. I will try cleaning the fuse and check the grounds to see if I can resolve the problem.

    which light should we build around?

    Sogncap looked so close to yours I thought for sure they must be made from the same fabricator. I hear you on the market being limited to the two extremes. Looks similar to the one Proffit's adds to their builds but last I checked they are do not sell these to the public.

    @sogncap did you buy this bumper from 4plus?

    Recessed would look pretty cool similar to what brute force does. I have no idea what lights would work best though.

    I would love to get one of these bumpers. Will it fit an 8274?

    Builds An Accidental Frame Off..................

    10 lbs and the size of a 2 person tent would be perfect! This sounds like the way to travel! I have plans on doing some similar trips but adding on a mountain bike to the mix for some bikerafting. Alpacka Raft | Passionate about Packrafting in all its Forms -...

    Builds An Accidental Frame Off..................

    Wow, now that looks like an amazing time! How do you like those IKs? I keep thinking about selling one of my NRS Pikes and getting one of those so I can have a compact and lighter weight option.

    FJ40 Rear Bumper Ideas/Blueprints

    Well that is good to know! Do they have an inner c-channel that mounts directly to the rear bumper frame and attach the outer c-channel to the inner from above and below?

    FJ40 Rear Bumper Ideas/Blueprints

    Proffit's bumper is the best looking one I have seen with 4 plus coming in on a close 2nd. They are not willing to sell it to the public so I am planning on re-creating something like this with my own touches...

    FJ40 LED Tail Light Replacements

    Good to know! I may give these a try and report back. I like that they are the stock size but I will have to check and see if they come with resistors. Thanks for the info!

    Have any of you cruiser heads tried out these FJ40 Specific Rear LED replacement lights? I am not sure who makes them but it looks like several sources online carry them.

    Correct OEM Manifold Gasket? 3FE Exhaust Manifolds/F Engine Intake Manifold/'76 2F Engine

    How did this turn out? What was the reason for using a F vs the 2F intake? I am looking into doing the same and replacing my aging header. Thanks Ben
