front bumper? (1 Viewer)

[foxfab]

I'd take one.

We'd also need the brackets made. I have a set that can be copied if he wants them to use.

I can also cut off a bumper end on one of the two mangled ones that I have if it helps to get the curve right.

I'd be in for one, much easier than getting mine perfectly straight.

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

I'd be in for one also...but getting the rest of the early cruiser to put it on might be a little harder to accomplish

There were both the lower, and upper bracket drawings, but I'll let Kevin know some parts might be available as samples if needed

Put me in for one. I would be in for brackets also.

Brackets are simple. The upper brackets are the same as on the 62 and later FJ40 just shorter. All you need is to cut a later one down. Then if you really want to be correct you need to fill the hole used for a bolt at the end of the frame. The early brackets didn't use this bolt. The bottom one is just a piece of flat metal with three holes drilled. John (Pardion) might add how hard it is, I sent him the pattern years ago.

I need a bumper for my 40- would one of these fit the frame width?? 11/81 build.

A little late on a response but the frame width on a FJ25 is the same as a FJ40 and would work.

I do believe the metal thickest is lighter than the later FJ40s. The mounting system is also lighter. By it's design it will buckle easier then a FJ40. But it is the correct bumper for cruisers older than the 1962 model.

BUMP, thought i would bring this Thread back to the front of the line to see what could happen.

Dean, did you happen to talk to Kevin after he received the drawings?

Another try

 

[Splangy]

I'm in for one of these if we can get them made. has anyone been in touch with Kevin lately?

 

[Archie 1962 FJ25]

Jim is sending me a pattern for front bumper, I will give it a go here in NZ and update you guys.

 

[mmcinnis]

Put me in for 1

I have been emailing with Alexandra at Pacol about having bumpers made. She has said that it would be possible to make a jig.
I don't want to get any hopes up, but i am looking for a count of people interested. Also looking for a sample bumper or a pattern if there are any still around to send to them. Let me know, hopefully this might work.

 

[Splangy]

I'm definitely in for one. My bumper is a little twisted up to use as a pattern, but I may be able to make a template. I think somebody already may have.

Also interested in LV rear bumper!

 

[67azcruizr]

I would be in for two,

you might want to contact Toyota FJ40 for Sale - The FJ Company - Land Cruiser Restoration , I know they are actively restoring many Land Cruisers including early ones.
Also try to speak with Greg Miller at Land Cruiser Heritage Museum , he ended up with a few of them from his parts purchasing a few years back.

 

[tahoe40/45]

I have emailed FJ CO, haven't heard back yet. Talked with the Heritage museum, they said that they would help, as long as the bumper doesn't have to leave their property ( very understandable).

Hey guys - really tough for us to fabricate a few pieces. It's only worth it when we're doing a full resto. We're going to do another one soon, so possibly at that time we can reproduce some extra parts.

 

[nuclearlemon]

@fjco you should repro early door frames too (i already sent a contact us thingy about that )

technically i don't think annie came with one, but if the price isn't outrageous, i'd take one. i can vouch that treeroot would take at least one, but most likely three

How about canvas for the soft top bows and extra canvas to redo the doors?
