I bought a 1977 FJ40 a few years ago with grand intentions to fix it up, and then lost ambition; new house and new daughter got in the way. Anyways, recently picked up a 1981 BJ42 that will now get my focus, as I always wanted a 3B to build my project around; and now I have one!
Some of the parts I'd like to swap onto the '81 are the hood, hard top and windshield frame. I'm sure the top and hood will swap over just fine, but will the windshield frames interchange? All the replacements show up to '78 and '79-up. I'm aware of the difference in the washer nozzle location, but will they physically interchange? And as I would have to change the wiper motors around too (12v-24v) any issues swapping wiper motors? I could likely fix the rust on the '81 frame, but if they will swap, my '77 one is in much better shape.
Thanks!!
