You might try Classic Cruisers, that's where I got mine. Ask for Glen.Guess what Rog? I also need a wiper motor for the '76(3/76 manu date), easy to get them for my '78! I have only seen some pretty rough used wiper motors

Hey @Racer65
Without scrolling this whole thread... have you done or know if available the little plastic covers or caps for the nut on the windshield wiper arm? It's a little cap on my '81 BJ42 that gives the wiper arms a little better finished look. I bought new arms recently and broke one of the covers due to it's age and brittle plastic. It just clips over the nut holding the arms on the spindles.
I can get a picture later if I'm not being clear.

Kevin, I think I just saw those recently. Cruiser Corps, possibly.

If it's 85192-90300 you are looking for, they are still available from Toyota. There are some models that have a different cap for each side. In that case, the right hand cap (85192-12030) doesn't seem available anymore.
same part for each side(at least on my US spec 82), yes can still get new from Toyota. Front window blades(and arms) are the same as a rear on a 60/62 BTW as is the plastic cover.
Anyone know if the powersteering box on a US 82 FJ40 is the same as the FJ60?

not they are not.
But you can buy(new from Toyota) an empty fj40 PS casting(just the empty box) and use a solid axle mini truck box as the guts(they are the same) and make a OEM FJ40 PS box, I did 12 years ago.

Very interesting... I did not know this
I found it in a very old Toyota Trails mag, written by our own Jim C.
the casting is not cheap(was $300 when I did it now about $500) Only the 79 casting is still around, but its the same as the rest, used it on my 82
i gathered all the bits( and a new seal kit) and sent them to Redhead Gear in Seattle, told the owner what I was doing, he was skeptical.......he called the next day and said "ill be darned, it worked just like you said"
of course I found 2 complete OEM set ups not long after and stashed away a few OEM castings

I have some pieces collected but not all. I will be doing a 100% OEM PS system on my '81 BJ42 (even though they didn't come with PS in '81 in Canada). If you know much about the BJ42, and I know you do, power steering involves a LOT of changes. Rad, T-stat outlet, bracket, pump, box, belt idler, hose (steel and rubber) etc. etc.
Not a small undertaking.

Got it, looks like I have to find the 79-83 model. Correct?

Did you check his store? It is for 9/73 and later it says so not sure if it will work with yours.

See above post for a late '73. An early '73 did not come with an inner boot to my knowledge.
