Bottle jack and tools for an FJ40 1981

[TunkeyndtheMonkey]

Hi, I don’t believe there are any tools or even a jack in my FJ40 - I would value seeing photos of where they should be stored in my cruiser, the mounting etc. I am going to try and source original parts but would value seeing what im aiming for.
Thanks
James

I'm actually getting close to having these available now! I'm working on two versions, one that is going to be as faithful a representation as I can make, which will be kind of spendy at $90-100 each, and I figure is really only for the sticklers & concourse resto guys, and then one that will...

Check out post #51 on this link. That jack (brown with cast base) is a rare bird, but they show up from time to time. The later brown stamped steel base still fits and works fine until an original shows up

Mine is yellow (72 FJ40) and lived under the driver seat in the tool box with the crank handle. The handle extensions were in a clip behind the passenger side rear jump seat. I use a 6 ton harbor china bottle jack.

Here is the jack thread. I forget what page, but review and you’ll see what’s correct for an 81

1981 Jack sits behind the drivers seat in this holder. Currently rebuilding that part of the tub. The Jack handles clip into tabs on the passenger side wheel well top. Jack looks like this… oddly only have photos of when I was taking it apart and fixing it

I would love to see a picture of the jack holder in situ, I have sourced from eBay the parts, but not clear to me exactly where it should fit as nothing obvious in the tub

That’s perfect. Much appreciated. Does it use the seat belt webbing anchor for the bottle jack mount?

 

[Pitter Patter]

Nope. Just its own 3 captive nuts. What you’re seeing isn’t OEM but it’s a close reproduction:

Really helpful thank you.
I have a RHD model and the space behind the drivers seat is taken up by the fuel pipe housing, I will try and fit it as your has been on what for me will be the passenger side .

No, three 10mm bolts of their own. I’ve got a stock 82, happy to take whatever additional pics or measurements that you need
