Ehsan, noticed in the pirate 4X4 site that you had made complete fenders for the fj55 in 2005.........any chance on doing this again soon?....would much prefer the entire fender rather than a patch; but then a patch on a rusty old fender is better than no patch at all!

Yes. We did nake a set of whole fenders with the upper portion as well. However, we decided, at that time that we would not make any more because
1- We did not have a vehicle to test fit the fenders
2- It is too labour intensive and takes a long time to make. It would probably not be affordable once it is complete
3- I did not see much demand in the market for the whole fenders.

Ehsan, in my particular case and of course I cannot speak for others; I would much prefer the entire front fender made with a better quality steel than what Toyota originally had rather than weld good new steel patch to rust prone original stuff and see 4-5 years later rust begining again .........I plan on keeping my 55 at least another 20 years and don't want to go through this process again <LOL>that is why I prefer to use stainless steel fasteners with antiseize rather than stock toyota fasteners as have had to drill or grind too many out!; basically am lazy and feel better about doing it the best way possible the first time and not have to redo it later 
but in any case would rather have your lovely patches on rusty steel than the alternative!..on the same topic; how are the floor boards and corners coming along?

Have not started work on the floors and corners right now . Will do so in some time. And will let you know when we are in a postition to make the whole fenders.Ehsan, in my particular case and of course I cannot speak for others; I would much prefer the entire front fender made with a better quality steel than what Toyota originally had rather than weld good new steel patch to rust prone original stuff and see 4-5 years later rust begining again .........I plan on keeping my 55 at least another 20 years and don't want to go through this process again <LOL>that is why I prefer to use stainless steel fasteners with antiseize rather than stock toyota fasteners as have had to drill or grind too many out!; basically am lazy and feel better about doing it the best way possible the first time and not have to redo it later

Those look really good!
Thanks Lou.
Will somebody be willing to get all of these together and then redistribute them. That will reduce the shipping cost foryou people to about 40% or more
Ehsan
I would be more than happy to distribute them out for everyone. I'm on the fence as far as buying a set. Once Eshan has corners and floorboards that is when I will jump in. I still havn't been able to locate a 55 with these on them to cut out.
I'm in agreement with Ehsan and Marshall, a single distributor is the ideal for costs. I am for certain purchasing but await the judges decision...

I just discovered that my rear quarters were open to the ground. They are "finished" on the bottom though which seems odd. I guess the PO didn't mind them open and just folded up the ragged bit. I've got a LOT of dirt in there and will get it all cleaned out before sealing up again.
It would appear that these rear quarter pieces are just what I need so when we have a price, please let me know, thanks.

I found a piggy that is graciously giving up it's floorboard for me. Once I get the donor floorboard out, I'll see about cutting mine out for use as a template. This will take some time...so it's not going to be a fast turnaround. I am not sure what it would cost to send it to Pakistan, so it's dependent on that. Oh, and I have no idea how to ship something that big to another country.
Once you have the floor, email me the pictures. I will discuss with our expert here and see how effieciently you can CUT and send it in in pieces to make it shipment friendly.I found a piggy that is graciously giving up it's floorboard for me.

....will be willing to chip in on shipment costs
...most of us are hurting for floor boards
Found a Body for making the repros off. What do you think?
