Wanted FJ40 Tub

ericj1800 · Aug 8, 2016

I need a decent tub for my 1972 fj40 I'm working on. The year of the the tub doesn't really matter to me, as this is not a replica restoration I'm building. I am located in GA. You can call/text if easier at

Thanks

I had a tub made for my 1972 in Vermont. 1/4" steel really strong. Poor Wally landcruiser emporium.
Great guy to deal with and very reasonable prices.
Let me know if you have any interest. I realize that your very far away from him.
It's well worth the investment.

Thanks for the suggestion. 1/4" steel sounds like a tank! I will have to contact him and see what he can do. Do you have a recent contact number for him? I couldn't find a website for him anywhere on google. Thanks

I took a good look at the rear quarter panels and it looks like he cut the panel off at the rear down bend in the wheel wells. You can get both panels shipped to you for less than $200. It also looks like black ugly finish all over is some kind of roll on bed liner.
There are areas where it looks like the previous owner patched a few places. One is under the passenger side rear wheel well. the other look like the front kick panels have some patch work. Looks like they put angle iron over the bottom door sill as rock sliders and to cover their work. I can pull the angle iron off and send you a pic. Finally the radio hole on the dash has been enlarged.
You can have the rear lower doors, they look home made but work.
