Yes nice work!, what did you use for that pivot pin? Is it a shoulder bolt, peened rivet, or what?

It was a 10mm hex bolt. Machined with the (how you call it) Lathe?

What should be between the roof and the windscreen frame? I guess some rubber profile? Should it be attached to the metal part on the roof or on the windscreen frame?

We found some rubber profile that kind of fits between the roof and the windscreen frame. The climate inside is much better now. Nobody knows what should be there?
We got the steering box out to adjust the steering wheel play. We had to remove all the shims and the play is now a little bit less then 1 inch. Also put a new seal on the pitman arm shaft.

And finished the reconstruction of the drivers seat frame.
Nice work on the seat frame.
I believe this aftermarket rubber strip is what I used on my 45 LBP. Part description shows it should work for a 40 series as well.

The first gear of the 62 fj40 is quite noisy (sounds like a bad bearing) and the seal of the ingoing axle is leaking. We want to take it apart. Don't know if we will do it soon or later, but we want to be prepared. It is a "three on the tree" gearbox.
Questions:
1. We have a parts manual from 65. Is this the same gearbox?
2. Any specific things to look for? modifications?
3. Are parts still available? did they use standard bearings and seals?

it will be noisy...they are straight cut gears, notoriously noiser

You have a point there, didn't think of that.
But the noise is not a whining "gear" sound like you hear on a regular car in reverse, but more alarming like a bad bearing.

Because we all love photo's, here are some how it looks right now. Only did some small fixes: put a working doorlock in it because we had no key. (Can those keys be ordered? there is a number on the lock).
Also removed the thick steel plate behind the bumper which was welded in for mounting a snow plow.
Have to go look for some tyres so we can refit the Original wheels. What do you think of these: http://www.fedimatyres.com/en/4x4/4x4/maxima

Problem is we dont have the Original key. Would a lock smith be able to reproduce a key from a lock? Or does the number say something about the key profile?
a decent locksmith can rekey everything. the p.o. of annie didn't have any keys, on my advice, she took the ignition to a locksmith and had them rekey it, then i took the fuel cap and had the locksmith key it to match the ignition

Tires look good the best part is that they come in radial... The bias ply wear out fast

you can order keys cut from the # from these folks. http://www.key-men.com/shopping/show_cat.php
The key blanks are available from Toyota but i've found they are a pita about cutting old keys from numbers. best bet was I got a cut key from keymen and ordered the toyota blank and had it copied to the blank

If you could get them I'd consider these, much closer to Dunlop RK3 and if the majority of your ride is on the street might be more pleasant.

Fedima has some nice patterns that would be a huge hit over here at remold pricing.
