Hi all,
I spoke with Dan yesterday about hard door weather stripping for a 72 j40. He tells me that if the build date was after July of 72 it is no longer available but if the build date is prior to this it is still available. Since he is not around today and the others at American Toyota...
Living in the past,
Yes I have the rubber for the front part of the window, I have just have not installed them yet. I am going to take some more photos of the front and back and related hardwear and then put them in the for sale section later today since the cruiser is now officially sold...

I was putting in the new plexiglass vent windows and I seem to have forgotten the correct orientation for the rubber around it. Does the thick side go to the inside or outside of the door? It seems the deal is really close on the fj and if it goes through these will be for sale ASAP...
SouthbostonFJ,
You are correct that those are hard door hinges and not OEM soft door hinges. Since I was not looking to remove them quickly I went this route (also the correct ones are much harder to find). I do have the handles and other hard wear which was sand blasted and then painted the...
Hi All,
I have a question regarding the value of a set of these is. I have had them painted by a paint shop (Dune Beige) and replaced all weather strip with OEM stuff except the impossible to get one around the triangle shape window. I had new plexiglass cut for the windows also as well as...

Well I have decided to not bother with the hard doors since it looks much better with the OEM soft and I do not drive it in winter anyways. Am I going to be able to move the hinges out about a half inch (is there enough adjustability in them) to make the doors not bind on the A...
Hi all,
I am almost done redoing my OEM soft doors for my 40 and went to test mount them and it appears that the hinges on the tub side need to moved out about half an inch. Question is; is the hinge location different for hard doors and soft doors? Seems like it is going to be a pain if I...
Shipping costs
SouthBostonFJ,
What are the shipping charges for the door fabric? Are these small items being shipped this week or next? Thanks again.

SouthBostonFJ,
Just thought I would check on the extra door vinyl I ordered, since I did not get an email am I correct to assume it showed up? Thanks in advance.

The reason for the $350 price is simple, I paid approx $275 like most do but since I live in the middle of no-where Wyoming I paid $100 bucks to ship 100lbs of metal across the country via UPS! I could not source locally and was not interested in driving many hours to get stuff. My...
npcrs32,
I finished doing a front brake conversion using fj60 parts about 4 months ago at least for me there was no cost savings at all. I paid $350 for the used stuff and then on top of the $350 there was the axle service kit, new rotors, new calipers, new brake lines (both hard, rubber, and...
dgangle,
Hate to hijack the thread but I have the large dual diaphram booster same as you had and just got a smaller one from and fj62 that looks like the one from the Lexus you got. I have been holding off doing the switch thinking the smaller one would not work as well as the larger. Do...
Update,
I bench bled the master as suggested and did not see any bubbles of any sort during that operation, I then connected things back up and re-bled the entire system using about a gallon of DOT-3 and I do believe that I have things working as they should (good firm pedal), stops really...
Bull,
I will try that first..it would be strange that a master cylinder would all of a sudden be leaking when it has worked fine up until the this point. Thanks I will keep you all posted.

Fast Eddy,
Not sure what you mean by cleaning the residual valve, I removed it completely from the front circuit (spring and rubber). I am going to assume the drums in the rear are adjusted correctly because they were working fine when the system was four wheel drums. I would recheck and...
Hi All,
I have read way too many posts about this and just want to get my facts straight. I just completed a disc swap on my fj40. When I removed the old stuff all the fluid drained out of the front reservoir on the master. Upon replacing all the parts including hard lines I refilled the...
