Here’s my Lowe’s in the front, Specter in the back.
My 40 never had any floormats so I went the same route as igotta40. Used the light gray similar to what SOR sells and was able to do the front and rear of the 40 for around $100. Dampens the noise a little and protects the floors.
Unfortunately no real website for the mats, they retail through various small individual vendors or our business which has outlets over the country. A 45 mat will not work in a 40 since the footwell area on the right hand side towards the tank is some 100mm longer than a 40's, whereas the left hand side does not have the toolbox under the seat.@locklaw Those are super cool. Can you provide a link to the website? I wonder if that "COMPLETE MAT, OLD TYPE FJ45" would work on my 1973 FJ40 with the steering wheel on the CORRECT side?
There are 40 specific mats also though. The rear floor mat fits fine but does not have provision for floor heaters while the fronts are moulded only for the two later 4 speed 40 variations without the toolbox under the seat.

Don't get me wrong....the diamond plate rubber mats look like they are bullet proof and I'm sure they perform excellent, but I'm looking for something that has a more original look. I'm impressed on how well you were able to get those to contour to your floors. Nice work!
I'm still hoping to hear from someone that actually owns those ones off ebay. It appears that the ones from South Africa aren't really an option here in the US but I'm still researching. Those things look really nice and the fact that they say Toyota makes them even more cool.
Another thing that no one has answered is what they heck those dang snaps are for. Does anyone have an FJ40 that has snaps installed on the floor? I'm guessing that's the only reason the mats would have the "female" buttons on them.

The snaps were probably installed by a po or used floor mats from a j##p and cut them to fit the 40 or somethinglike that. You should ask the po. They're not stk.
