I have an original from 1970 that I may be willing to let you use to pattern off of as long as it is non destructive. I live in mn and can mail it speedy delivery.I'm looking to reproduce the original tool roll if no one else is doing this and make it available at a hopefully reasonable cost. The problem is I do not have an original to use as a pattern. Would anyone be willing to loan me theirs to create the pattern? If someone IS reproducing these please let me know. I'll just buy one.

I have a 1968 manual that is date coded.Item 13 in the early tool roll Content List is the Operation Manual. Not surprisingly, this manual is often missing from the kit. Including the correct manual will provide a nice finishing touch to a refurbished tool roll. But finding a manual in decent shape may prove to be a challenge.
These are examples of manuals provided with the early tool rolls for FJ40s. Images are from (Mud) and the internet. Some of these manuals do not have dates; dates provided are estimates based on available information. Please post corrections or additional manual images.
1963 : This manual includes an image of a VIN number beginning with '3', manual number 6040, cover is dark green/light green/purple.

1970-1971 : I've seen several 1970 FJ40s with this manual. Although the parts catalog shows the changeover to the medium tool roll in 3/69, the early (large) tool roll was included with some 1970 model year vehicles.
