ARCHIVE FJ40 and 45 Rubber parts!

[Dan Fredrickson]

There is a company I work with that wants to make me all the rubber pieces that are on a 45. I need 2 sets and 1 set for a 40 so I am going to get them and see if they are as good fitting as they are good looking. They are stock replacement but brand newly made!

What I need to know is what pieces are the most needed? I can also get complete rubber kits with all the pieces if anyone wants those, I would if I were doing a complete restoration myself. However I know there are a lot of little pieces everyone needs and I would like to get them coming

I might be interested in few things but, don't know which rubber pieces I'll be needing yet. Fixing place another order this morning with @beno

Realize your looking out for the Fj40 crowd, but if your interested, i know the FJ55 crowd has been looking for some rubber stuff that needs reproduced. Hood bumpers (off the top of my head for myself).

FJ40 rear lift gate rubber is NLA. If you were able to get them to reproduce the rubber that goes around the air vent behind the hood on 70s 40s that would be a win. That was not ever separately available.

I am looking at all the options right now but 40/45's to start.

 

[antFJ]

what year 40 are you looking for? there are like a million options

The roof to the fiberglass cap because the ones that are new suck, and the OEM is $400.

It purchase the entire FJ40 set if its not stupid expensive, its rubber and it should be ok to purchase not that ubitonioum.

I need every part by the way for frame off count me in.

What I really want is the floor mat.
Id trade you a USA telecaster!

Another vote..

I received 3 kits Monday, 2-45 & 1-40. Of course they are not complete but they are something I can work through. The quality looks great!

The wings I got are for '75 and newer. They said it was a mistake and many of the parts that are supposed to be in pairs came alone but so far everything looks great. The under windshield rubber fits very well but that is all I have been able to test so far.

If anyone needs the newer wings give me a call, the first is free if you test them for fit right away. I have no newer doors to try them on. I also have the door complete package for a '75 and newer if someone wants to try those for me, hopefully the same person...

For the rear fixed cab slider I would need an example to have it made. Anyone have one in bad shape that is good for measurements?

I am making good progress on these and I hope to have the complete early kits also very soon.

For those of you wanting the FJ55 kits I am afraid I would need everything for ezamples, I sold my 55 a few years ago. Or if someone local has one I can buy cheap?

Really wish i had a some good seals to send you, all i have is a bunch of dry cracked old ones. If something like that would help you i would certainly be willing to send you the original seals on my vehicle.

 

[Dan Fredrickson]

The old ones should be enough, I think I can have them made 1 or 2% larger to make up for the shrinkage over the years.

I need the whole batch, 4 doors, wings, window channels and wipers inside and out.
Thanks, Ron
