Has anyone put anything similar to the 80 series back sliding windows in a 40. I want to improve the air flow in the back. I like the 75& later side windows that have the vent window, but i don't want to buy a new top just to get the vent windows. I was looking at an 80 the other day and was thinking of putting those sliders in a 40 and was wondering if anyone has done it.

There are aftermarket sliding windows that fit the 40 hard top. I think SOR sold them?

There are OEM sliding windows as well. Australia had them. Currently have a set for a 60 series waiting for all the craziness to settle down before shipping.
In 1975 I put my 68 FJ40 on it's side. In 1976 found a very clean 73 hard top for cheap. Mid eighties I added vent window from a 78 FJ40 that was in a wrecking yard. Vent windows survived but both larger glass was broke. At that time the large side glass was available from Toyota for $17 each. The top was beige and cruiser was blue. Just about the same time a neighbor painted it for me as part of a Barder. Wasn't really the color I wanted but at least the paint all matched. Obviously the doors are off a later model as well. 79 doors purchased in 1983 out of a wrecking yard for $100 apiece. Roll bar, seats, transmission are all off later FJ40 too. Really is a mutt.

Some of the best money that I have spent.
Greatly improved air flow through it.

Where did you purchase your windows?
Looks like SOR. They used to carry them, doesn't seem like they are listed anymore.

They had them last year and i almost pulled the trigger on them but in the space of 2-3 months they went from $416 to nearly $600
Ok thanks.
