top

So I am trying to install the hardtop. And I never had the metal piece that rivets to the fiberglass lid . I got that piece but it does not seem to want to fit 🤔. But I really do not know how it is supposed to fit . I am just trying to go off old holes right now

I purchased this upper panel side packing from City Racer @Racer65 and trying to figure out how it’s installed. It seems much longer than needed. This is my first hard top and am apparently not smart enough to figure it out. Pics below.

Guys, is it possible/safe to only remove the white cap of my FJ40's hardtop? I need to re-do the headliner, and it seems like it would be much easier with the roof upside down on saw horses. I didn't know if there would be enough lateral stability for the windows without the white cap in...

I'm restoring a 1963 corrugated hard top. The sides and roof are in great shape, but the drip rails are toast. I've reached out to a couple of the main venders who sell the kits, but they are all for the newer hard top. Does anyone know of a vender who makes them? Looking like I will have to...

I have read through the many threads pertaining to the aforementioned, but would like input from those that have used both. I’ve had the VLine (via a group buy) for a number of years yet never installed. Now I’m wondering if the Road Top or similar would be a better option. I’m in the Apple...

I'm just getting into the top repairs and the fiberglass is covered in spider cracks. I did some reading up and common repair is to take a Dremel to all the cracks then apply gel coat. There are so many cracks I think I am better of to sand all the gel coat off and apply new gel coat. Anyone...

Recently as in, in the last year, the top end on my 3vze was taken to a machine shop and surfaced by the PO's. Not to say they did a s***ty job but I have had to redo every single other fix theyve done since buying this 4runner in april/may. It was pretty clear when buying it but mostly a...

i am selling my lightly used, in great condition, Thule Force XT XXL Roof Box. Bought from REI two years ago and used only a couple times. https://www.rei.com/product/143759/thule-force-xt-xxl-roof-box This is their largest roof top box: Length: 7 ft. 9 in. Width: 36 inches Height: 18...

What might be my dumb 73/74 question of the week. I was wondering how many of you drive around with the FRP top off and the back doors still on? Will the full doors act too much like a sail with the FRP top off? Has anyone had issues doing that? I have a 3b so the fastest its going is limited...

As titled, I have a '63 FJ45 SWB for sale. This is a project I have been collecting parts for the past 3 years to eventually build. Some photos are somewhat dated at this point but you will see some progress photos below. Clear Utah title Cab has been stripped of the rhino lining, PO cut the...

Can anyone measure the width of their top moulding for me please. I just had my windshield replaced, and while he did a great job with treating spots, using rivets, etc. I think the top moulding is too wide or too proud above the windshield and is making wind noise in the cabin. Currently, the...

Hello, I just picked up a FJ45. It is a split window fixed roof. The car was sandblasted and then sat in a garage for 10 years. Im insure of the history before that. No vin, no title. The car is free of rust and any dents except a small ammount of rust on the bottom of the roof pannel (shown in...

Looking for a hard top in Central FL, let me know what you have

Will a 72 hard top work on a 74? I have a line on one for my 74. Thank You

What you need when you remove your FRP top. The thing that gets lost over the years. Like a new, complete set. 200$ + shipping

Anyone have a pulley removal set up I can see/rob your design? Tips on removal greatly appreciated too. Newly reconstructed full cap/side panel.

Wondering how you’ve mounted it. A fellow somewhere else in the past mentioned getting three front runner crossbars that gutter mount but I contacted them and they advised against it, also two only support 100kg so it stands to reason three might be good for 150kg which isn’t enough for a tent...

Hello again! I am looking for a hardtop in decent shape or soft top bows. I figured I would post here before springing for something from an outfitter. I have a 1964 FJ40 that has some aftermarket bows on it for now, but they don't seem to provide enough clearance for my doors, so I am looking...

More an observation than tech, I added a roof skin from the B pillar back ( front is already skinned ) and it took most or all the wind noise away. I can have a conversation on the freeway, the 420 & tcase are smooth & quiet, tires and exhaust are loudest, creepies are somewaht loud on the street,
