The air cleaner intake hose for '75 to '78 FJ40 is now in stock. Please check the posting in the Storefront if you're interested.

How about making the Windshield Wipre motor gasket they seem to be pretty pricey?

CCOT has that gasket for just under $20 now.

what about the two air cleaner gaskets beno still had the small round one but cant locate the lid gasket or the one under the filter element?

I'd focus on the one that sits below the filter element. The lid gaskets are easy to make from hardware store weatherstriping. There should be a link for that in my sigline.

A new OEM-like FJ40 Rear Step is now available! Check out my Storefront listing for additional details.

great job on the step!!

i take it that you would be able to fit a receiver between like this photo (see below) .... if its a style that is up against the frame like this ... like Mark A and others offer

I was about to tackle that very thing - glad you beat me to it , way too busy here now . Kudos if it clears a hitch receiver .

Oh sure now you come out with this? That's about what I paid for my used one without the pretty finish... Looks great!

I don't have that receiver, but the distance between the bottom of the rear bumper and the stepping surface of the rear step is about 4 inches.

Great , I'll measure the distance on mine and check back ....

The step extends out about 7 inches from the rear bumper, so beyond that distance the receiver would be all clear.

Ok - measured my diy receiver plate - which is larger and heavier than pictured above - should have about 5/8" of clearance to the step so it shouldn't be an issue . 7" from the bumper should work as well , although the receiver mount may interfere with the use of the step a bit , but overall better than trying to use the bumperettes to get into the truck . Old , screwed up knees and limited range of motion really sux getting in the back ..

Looks like it would fit mine as well... mine is a JTO.... but... I know that Mark's is very close to the same and would work on his as well

My receiver mount is much shorter - almost flush and uses a short neck hitch tube , but a longer hitch would work just fine with the step . I'm putting this on the list for the summer upgrade mods ....when work starts , lol .

Here's a pic of my receiver mount -

Step should clear it easily .

In Johnny C's picture one side looks even with the bumperette and the other looks longer, optical illusion?

See if this photo helps...

 

[myquestoyota]

I need one.......

 

[GA Architect]

Actually, mine looks like this....

Early 70s windshield washer fluid bottle? Those seem to be gone at any normal price. Perhaps too complex would be the discontinued early 70s front door seals.

No idea on the demand of either since those products changed around 75.
