SHUSH's 71 FJ40 "ol blue"

[speedn3]

Take your time because the glue can be a mess and I would suggest getting the doors seals and door at room temp instead of cold.

 

[SHUSH]

Roger speedn will do. I did the doors on my last truck and putting that rubber in the sun helps plus fitting dry to make sure I know where it lines up.


Anyone experienced?

What's the best way to find faulty wiring? Work my way downstream?
Disconnect the lights, relay, and switch, put in a new fuse to ensure its good.

measure the voltage at the battery, then at the fuse, then at the relay, then at the light connectors? If there is a big voltage drop compared to the previous reading then the short is just upstream?

Does that make sense?

 

[DSRTRDR]

I would start at the fuse box - if OEM, the fuse holders have a good chance of being very corroded

Warning........heavy tech discussion

I have a frozen pin on the drivers side lower hinge......DONT panic, I removed the hinge ( 3 bolts on door and 4 inside kick panel) and hinge/pin are soaking


That is all.

Really close to pulling the trigger on a Marshall top with real steel bows. I can't think of any soft tops in the club, but any prior experience with trollhole or real steel?

[SHUSH]

My color with the light grey just looks killer


But troll holes new version has 2 side windows and 2 rear side windows ( like hard top) with 1 rear window

 

[wngrog]

That OEM style is the only way to go.

old school awesome.

 

[SHUSH]

It is. I miss typed. 2 side windows is Oem. Marshall offers 1 side window, per side, for better vis on lifted trucks. I love this look.

 

[ntsaint]

Yeah that is sweet.

 

[SHUSH]

Anthony is selling a tan one and, since I don't have bows I could maybe buy later bows to make them work....https://forum.ih8mud.com/sale-parts/788084-oem-style-soft-top-bows.html

This is a little to white....not gray but love this


I have money hand and now I can't decide

if you are letting the grey one go, I would be interested

I talked to him - the later model bows are rare as hen's teeth, he doesn't sell the bows for this top

not mine just a pic to show color contrast

yeah did some research and realized same....about to pull the trigger with Trollhole and Reel Steel

 

[SHUSH]

Adjusted idle finally and she is back to purring. Do aisin carbs "fall out" that quickly from being tuned correctly?

Maybe she is just running well because I bought her a top today?

 

[SHUSH]

Wife just sent me this......guess I need to get some paint


Todd Ogino with Real Steel had this at my door in 48 hours! nuts

 

[SHUSH]

I've seen references to FSTs having a dome light on dash? Is this one?

 

[SHUSH]

Mock up

 

[77TLCFJ40]

Will it get through the garage door that high?

Looks good.

Definitely not the original dash light. MUD search "Darth Vader light" for a pic of the OEM.
