SOLD Mpr Fj43 hardtop FOUND

[Taz72]

Vehicle Model

1. 40 Series

May be a long shot but looking for a MPR FJ43 hardtop. Looking at extending my 40 to allow more rear room. I have a decent hardtop now but if I could find a 43 hardtop it would make it easier. Closer to Martin Tn would be better but will consider what’s available.
Thanks Brad

Brad -- we will have something soon. I will send you a PM.

Thx,

@youngmanchego in another thread says he can bring to the US steel hardtops for the FJ43

I think it is @KSU Cruiser that is bringing one up for his 43?

Just in case a MPR is hard to find

Thanks I’ll keep them in mind. I do like the one piece side window on the MPR.

The MPR tops have sliding glass on the sides. At least mine does! While you are at it look for replacement seals for the side and back door glass.

Does the small window pop out?

The MPR top has a better aircirculation through the roof

Good to know. I will be hauling my dogs.

Maybe only @KSU Cruiser knows anything about that steel top

I'm indeed bringing an FJ43 steel hardtop (BJ46/FJ.co style) back from Colombia. It's coming along with an FJ45 tub for another mudder. Keeping the two members anon, though they're welcome to chime in here! We've encountered a comical amount of delays because of the resto on my 1973 FJ43 (the original ETA was late September *facepalm*). At last, we're just a few weeks out. I'll do a write-up on the resto once everything is stateside.

Also, the first of many huge shoutouts to @bernardbar3 for his incredible amount of help with this process and to Jose (mud credentials to follow) for his consistent check-ins with the fabricators in person, in Bogota. @devo 's photo of the white truck with the unpainted steel roof is Bernard's rig and the yellow 43 below is Jose's 1974 (both things of beauty).

Cheers,

Sawyer

Negative. You could maybe fab one up with later model 40 flip-out window hardware, but sealing it might be a PITA. I have seen several 43 tops with sliders on the larger window, however. FJ.co does this regularly.

This guy is near me here in Portland. If you make it out, you may want to have some extra room in your trailer. Looks like he has a ton of neat stuff listed

Appreciate the offer. Really just looking for the top. I want to add more length before the wheel opening.

 

[seventysixers]

Probably be easiest to swap tub plus it’s brand new…..

 

[Taz72]

I don’t like the rear overhang. Going ls and tons but would like a hardtop.

@Taz72 are you familiar with the MPR hardtop?
Here are a few photos of the interior.
