[metalonmetal]

Its lookin sweet old school wheels and top cannt get much better can it?

All of the cruisers shown above so far look sweet!!! I like the look with the stock wheels with or without caps.

I think its the only way to go, here's mine. Top before (my first actual drive in it) and bottom after, same tires in both pictures.

Where do you get those sweet looking soft tops and bows??? Are they original? Also, love the stock wheels and agree to ditch the tube bumper and fender flares. Peanut (stock) is in!!! Did the early FJ's have hub caps or not?

Bacfan, your rig is starting to look strangely familiar. Now all you need is some dirt on it.

Early - 1966 FJ40-45 had black Rims and "T" moon rims

some time in 67 - 68 Toyota changed to the newer style hub caps and gray rims.

I am not a fan of wagon wheels, esp black wagon wheels...

So I think you made a fine upgrade!!!

 

[jimhendrixx]

So did I.
check it

 

[bucfan]

ocdbeetle-latches are painted

Hogan-big time change on yours- looks good!

CeeJay-top and bows are Ehsan from Pakistan

MDH33- I noticed that too I wish I had the backdrop that you have-beautiful places you have been.

jimhendrixx- looking good man

All of these rigs look fantastic with the old school look. Once I get the fundage a call to CDan will get me on the oem bandwagon.

I cruise the local wrecking yards once in a while. The lc rims are easy to spot up on the racks, and cheap too. Then get a rattle can. You need the newer welded style for disc brakes, riveted ones only work on drums.

Tailgate looks great. Glad I sent it to a good home.

You what i did was find a set of five stock rims on CL. i then found a guy who powdercoats racks for Costco and Nordstrom etc. He uses a gray that is a bit lighter than the stock color of the wheels. He said that he would blast my wheels, and powdercoat them with the racks for $25.00 each! He said if you pay me cash, no tax! I handed him $150.00 to do all five and bam here they are. i had a set oc stock hub caps to put on these powdercoated wheels. yeah a bit lighter, but they look good, dam good!

 

[sdtash]

Yep have to aggree, the old style wheels.

 

[secretagent]

Old School is cool....my junk

[crawford67]

I agree with most...the old school rims looks great! I plan on ditching my chrome rims for the stock rims with some tall skinny tires in the near future. So if you have 5 steelies that will fit a '76 40 that you want to get rid of let me know!

Merry HO HO!!

Old school has always been in!!! Old guys rule!!!! Nice rims, good choice!!
