    FJ45 cab rubber Gaskets

    I have my old gaskets from my restoration. Not sure what a "ute" is though. Mine are from a 66 lwb pickup.

    Nice! Damn good idea. I was just going to toss the two I have, but maybe I will reconsider that....

    Looking For A CAD Model

    Rock on! You have far exceeded the model I created a long time ago. X2 on the file if willing to share down the road. I always wanted to build a scale model of a 40 and this would be a great way to get started with that. I have several hard bodies already, but wanted a scale frame. There is...

    Looking For A CAD Model

    I have Inventor and Solidworks. I haven't tried passing files between them, but it would make sense that Solid would play with inventor, but not the other way around. In the old days, I did a lot of work in Microstation, and you could import Acad files, but not the other way around. Acad...

    Looking For A CAD Model

    Yeah, good luck with that. The people that have those are not likely to give it away given the costs/time to create it. The best you can probably get is the frame diagram out of one of the shop manuals. That's pretty easy to find on here. These have all the dims in mm for frame...

    Stock Steel rim style with 35's

    I have 34x10.50 LTB's on stock steels. Not sure why an inch would make a difference there, but the width may be in issue. They will look like balloon tires though. ;)

    67 FJ40 Transmission

    Reverse and First gear are not synchromeshed in that transmission. ie: it will always grind if you speed shift it. You can double clutch, or you can learn the "feel" of it. It takes some practice.

    Attatch windsheild frame to roll cage?

    No doubt. Too curvy for my liking and too far from the windshield. I just always thought the attachment point was interesting.

    Attatch windsheild frame to roll cage?

    Yeah, not the greatest pic, but that looks like it. Whatever happened to those cages?

    Attatch windsheild frame to roll cage?

    There used to be a cage like that. I think it was up n over innovations or something like that. Full cage except there was a dash bend and then it went right into the cowl. As I recall, they tested it somehow and that was a more secure location than bolting to the floor alone (no frame...

    Attatch windsheild frame to roll cage?

    Sort of related, but I have thought about that a bunch. I do enough wheeling that I really need to upgrade the factory hoop. I also drive it everyday, so I hate the tube coming down by your leg for getting in and out. (Had a full cage on previous 40). I was thinking about making a new rear...

    Project LandROC

    I don't. Yours is wider than mine though, I was not outside the frame at that point, so you may not have an issue. Dunno. Post up the results!

    Exhaust is sweet! Are you going to run a hard top the whole time? If not, you may want to think about angling those pipes towards the sides a bit. Mine was sucking in fume until I did that.

    1976 Front fender Signals

    I'm talking about these. Turn Signal I just added an LED to the side of the housing. I did have to drill a 1/2" hole or something, but easy to do. Clean, Toyota, cheap, sturdy....not really sure why you would use the giant plastic floppies unless you just need to have year appropriate signals.

    1976 Front fender Signals

    Just buy the early one's and be done with it. I put 1966 fj45 signals on my 40 and like them a LOT better. I added an LED side marker to them to keep the original wiring scheme, but that's all I did. Cheap, available, slimmer, and METAL!

    Ambulance Doors

    And the 79 and up doors will fit on the earlier tubs. I'm running 79 doors on my 78 right now. Only the sharp eye will notice that the lower corner doesn't fit exactly and the 78 gasket fills that void very well for a leak free fit. I considered welding a bead on and making a "corner" but it...
