New to Group new to fj40 restoration project

[chjb69]

Hello, new to group. Recent purchased a 1975 Toyota fj40 to restore. During transport back home, at some point in the haul, the roof panel came off. Unfortunately, now looking for a replacement one. Found a few new ones (after market) but very costly $2200+. Anyone out there have a hardtop or even a fiberglass top panel for sale? Mine has ambulance back doors.

Welcome to the site. Sorry to hear about your top. We always like pics. There is a classified section you can post a "wanted" ad. There's also a clubhouse section that you might find some folks local.

Were you towing or was it a shipper? Curious…was it tailored nose into the wind or rear into the wind?

Sorry to hear you lost it….do you have pictures of the carnage?

That’s been done many times before … your not the first to have that happen

Ratchet strap would have saved it

Preventing damage is usually way easier than fixing damage. The magic blessing "That isn't going anywhere" depends highly on the skill of the caster.
