Another west coast 45 robbed!!’ I love the Honda trail 90 front turn signals. So if I’m correct, you just need a 45 removable top swb to finish your early 45 line up!

Hey Brian I stayed out of California on this one for you haha, this one was from granite, Oregon. The turn signals need to go and so do do the wheels & tires. The removable top swb 45 is the last one I need to get

Yea I have to straighten the log rack out in some spots but I like it a lot and reminds me of the one on yours

That is too cool. Can you use the license plate? Oh yeah, your in NJ, not Oregon. Yeah, wheels need to go, but I was starting to dig those turn signal lights, I'll trade your for some Deitz lights if you want to go that route .

And if you're not using those horns (if they work), ...

Going to swap the original spring green hood, fenders and front bib on and hopefully find some spring green paint left under the primer on the exterior of the cab and bed. The inside of the cab is still spring green.

Going to swap the stamped bezel and factory wheels off this FJ40 and onto my 45 to see what the 45 looks like with factory wheels on it instead of the ugly chrome rims that are on it now.

Is that a ‘62?

4 x 45% (more serious) = 180% better !

Found some doors for the truck this week

Went to move the truck before since the battery in it was dead. I pulled the truck backwards with my FJ60 15 feet without any issues. I went to roll it back forward with my brother a couple hours later and the truck wouldn’t roll. It’s acting like it’s in gear but the shifter on the floor shows it being in neutral. I opened up the clutch slave master cylinder and the reservoir was very low. Just thought it was odd that it rolled backwards hours before and now I can’t get it to roll forward even if I have hold my foot down on the clutch pedal. Is there a good replacement master cylinder I can buy so I can get this truck on the road this summer. I’m going to fill the reservoir up in the morning and try to bleed it to see if that helps at all. If any one else has ran into something like this and has any advice I would appreciate it

Sounds like locked up drum brakes? Put the transfercase in neutral, if it still doesn’t roll, has nothing to do with the clutch. Almost guaranteed you have locked up old crusty wheel cylinders!!!
