Topnault Reproduction Bodies

[Living in the Past]

In the video, they specified the older dash with the 79-84 body so it can apparently be ordered that way. That would be key for a 79-82 rebody.

Problem is the older dash is pre 78. Probably 73-77 if it has a radio opening. One size fits all approach doesn't work for the 61-84 FJ40. Two isn't much better. Just the fact the 1/79 plus has a 10/82 plus dash is a huge red flag. Particularly in the US market where so few 83 were imported by Toyota. Obvious very little research was done before production started.

Figured I would post this here to get an honest review on MUD of what’s involved utilizing these. Aqualu will be getting my business based off of this.

@Chilkoot did you get any traction resolving the issues. The findings on post 79 are very disturbing. I expected the 78 and below to have significant issues as they just modified a post 79 tub to try and work with the earlier tub design, but I had no idea the 79 would be this far out. I have a 77, 78 and a 79 that I am looking for tubs for. Knew the 77 and 78 were not going to be good at all but had high hopes for the 79. Please keep us updated if you get any new info. Great video by the way.
