I have a tale!!
while driving the FJ40 in the city,
I reached a FJ40 red and started to talk and talk about them, it is very difficult to find this model here.
on my car told me that he seemed excellent, but I needed something distinctive ...... the Mexican twist!
turn my head to see his and this is what surprised me ..........I get stuck!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF

Personally I would have gone with a 6 spoke wheel that blended well with the Warn hubs.


I have no idea how I missed this thread. Amazing work, You have given me a good solution to how to repair my Barn doors which are in worse shape than yours were BTW. I was scratching my head about how to construct that corner radius for the inside. Kudos!

I am my building my truck currently and plan to have it ready in time for my upcoming wedding! I hope well before then.

This are the front bake line bakets
are this screw OEM??

 

[fjbj40]

Not sure about the bracket, but my 74 had several of those same screws holding items to the frame, so I would say yes they are original.
