    Retractable seatbelt question..

    The lap portion of the seat belt attaches to the seat frame. This point is above the fuel tank cover so there are no clearance issues. This is true for both lap and 3-point belts.

    Electrical nightmare?

    One option would be to pull the harness, trace and mark wires, repair as needed and then reinstall.

    Do I need a Steering cooler

    Go to your local auto salvage yard and pull a transmission cooler off of a smaller car. I used one from a Ford Taurus. Can be mounted on the driver side fender without drilling any additional holes if I recall correctly (but that was on a 77).

    Removing Bedliner off the Exterior of a FJ40

    Aircraft stripper will soften the stuff to the point a scraper will take it off. Nasty stuff so you’ll need a respirator, not a dust mask.

    Best choice; The 40 serie or The 80 serie ?

    I love my 40, but for a trip like that I’d also lean towards the 80.

    It’d be nice for the baton to circle back through and take a couple of more northern routes back to the east.

    Too Hot! help!

    Have you checked the fan clutch? If it is weak it won’t go to work when needed. Also, was the thermostat put in correctly, using the proper gaskets?

    Charging at over 18 volts!!!...???

    I don't think that is necessarily true. The VR on my '78 is on the passenger side.

    Ride quality, FJ40's

    Just to pipe in on ride quality. I have a new set of OME springs from Kurt on mine. Great on the highway. Not so much on bumpy streets in town. I own it because it is a Land Cruiser. If you want something that rides nice go buy a '76 Cadillac. Same vintage, same fuel economy, same looks...

    Our local True Value hardware store had an assortment box in one of those bargain bins. The only ones not in the kit are the small radio size. Not an issue here as I don't have a radio...

    First 40 build 70 frame with 2f 4speed need help

    If it were my project I'd suggest sandblasting the frame and determining what all needs repaired. You'll be surprised at what the rust is hiding. From there you can make a better call if it is salvageable or not.
