I hope ther will be a gas tank in cab version of the mat Roger.

Well, this is the gas tank in cab version.

 

[Racer65]

Please make one (floor mat) for a 1971

There is minimal difference for a '71. Probably just the LH (Driver) side foot well cutout is a little different due to the bench seat.

He just needs to cut out for the tool box ... easy peasy

I think the Cruiser Corps universal bottle is similar to the original design, and very well priced.

The CCOT bottle has been "temporarily out of stock" for a while now. A quick internet search for EW-3T3, if that's the correct part number, doesn't show much stock out there. Wonder if it's coming back or not. I shot them an email to ask. Looks like the OEM pump is still available, so a replication package would be possible by generating the bottle (assuming sufficient motor supply). But at over $50 a pop for just the OEM motor, I doubt there would be a market.

I think he is referring to this one:

fj40 land cruiser washer bottle

You're right. I was thinking CCOT. Glad to see supply is still around.

Edit: CCOT said they are expecting to restock this part in the next week or two as well. So that's good news.

Funny I spent a lot of time trying to refurb my OEM one including the little motor and could never get it to not leak. This under $30 solution was pretty nice and it dropped right onto the original bracket.

Beautiful. I'm loving my electric power steering, by the way. It's a game changer.

Bring it over. I want to feel the steering feedback. Considering sending Racer a kidney to get one.

I don't know how much demand there would be, but the rubber compressor inlet hose on a 12ht would be nice. Haven't been able to find one, unless someone here has a source?

@beno likely carries one in his wallet.

Something in the outer reaches of unobtainium. Work is under way to reproduce a set of weatherstripping for the sliding windows on a FJ45 Troopy and FJ40 LX models. As I just posted in an old thread where people were looking for this stuff years ago, I'm now making available the 62761-90300 inner seal. Other pieces will follow, but will take some time.

Nice job. Now you are getting into the true "save the troopy" arena. I applaud your taking this on, and so will lots of troopy owners!

Correct me if I'm wrong. But would these proposed reproduction sliding window seals also fit a HJ47 troopcarrier?

Yes, it has the same sliding windows.

 

[BigWesty]

Yes, it has the same sliding windows.

Thats easily the best news of 2017 so far. I'll wait with bated breath until I can purchase a set. Love your work.

@Racer65 What about the rubber front side lights gaskets/mounting bushings on the aprons of pre 75 models? I believe only one side is still available. I could use several sets.

It's available. The caveat is that you have to buy the light!

It was the sliding window of all troopy from '79 and later the LX shorties (BJ/FJ).

Fuse box fusion to re-build the late model fuse box using the slide-on-crimps. These crimps are interchangeable, the only issue is the riveted crimps are not the exact length of the genuine so I had to drill off the brass plates and rivet them to the crimps of the early model fuse box, available here:Fuse Box and Cover for '78 Land Cruiser FJ40
The correct brass rivet is 2.5x3mm if someone wants to do this using a 3mm bucking bar and a hammer

Count me in for a full set of sliding window rubber and seals! I'm just getting started on restoring my 83 FJ40 LX and these were about the only items I couldn't source. Keep up the good work!
