You mean they aren’t supposed to look like that! That knuckle looks disturbingly similar to the ones on my rig 
I need to do mine one of these days… although it doesn’t look quite as bad. It’s been 25+ years since I last did them so it’s safe to say they are overdue.
Yeah, these have been overdue for a while. No dripping, but I could tell there was a slooooow leak past the axle seals.I need to do mine one of these days… although it doesn’t look quite as bad. It’s been 25+ years since I last did them so it’s safe to say they are overdue.
This weekend I was finally able to get my factory rollbar back into the FJ40 for the first time in 11 years. It went through some rehab and paint; it's still got some gnarly battle scars on it, but that could describe my whole ride 
.
I ran into something that I didn't know about the rollbar bolts, so I got on the forum to try to find the answer. Surprisingly I found about 4 threads asking the question, but without a real clear answer, so I want to drop some rollbar bolt 101 stuff right here that I figured out. So, each downpost has 4 bolt holes. 3 of them are standard fare, M10-1.25 bolts, original part number 91651-61025, 12 needed. These are marked with a 6 on the head (maybe 9). They are available to order from Toyota, but I ordered some in December that still haven't shown up, so I cleaned up the original ones.
Now the fun part. Each downpost has 1 bigger bolt. It is located at the inner-most (towards center of tub) front-most (towards the engine) bolt hole. This bolt is SAE 7/16-20, but, with a 14mm wrench head on it. Luckily I still had all 4 of these unicorns. The original part number 90101-11465 is showing as discontinued. The head is stamped TK 43. The old MicorFiche scans incorrectly state that 2 are needed, it needs 4. It dawned on me later that these are the 4 bolts used to secure the rear seatbelts, so it was the US market safety requirement, just like with the shoulder harness belts up front.
And lastly, my rollbar pads cleaned up really nice, so they deserved OEM Toyota screws to put them back on, part number 93560-15014. I hope this info helps someone out in the future.

Drove Maria (red '79) out to the Hill Country Land Cruiser Roundup. 60 Land Cruisers. Only 4 or so 40's and a 45.

Heater box restore.
Nuts welded on backing plate to distribute forces over larger area, and make install easier. There is no access to the inside of the frame on the Driver’s side due to the scab plates for the steering box.
Ford shock towers. Driver’s side is modified to clear the Scout II steering box. Mounted as high as possible to allow the use of stock rear length shocks. The old Rancho 5000 shocks are past their prime… but will work for the time being.

Pretty sure the different bolt on the base of the roll bar will find is a SAE thread not Metric. also on the roll bar with the three point seat belts has a new bolt thru the main bar where the side bars attach. Search does show grade 5 or better 7/16 20 are or were required for seat belts in the US.

Installed a new air breather hose courtesy of Toyota Matt. The issue was connecting a 1975-1978 OEM F2 Aluminum valve cover breather to the original air cleaner assembly. Matt came through.

Did you need any new cables or other parts? I'm planning to install one on Friday. I have the GR starter from Mr T, wondering if I need anything else.

Mine was bolt in (did a few weeks ago). I did new cables but that was my choice because the ones present sucked.
It spins that F motor so fast.
I used a groun
I used a grounding strap, a correct connector for the GR and a new boot for the battery/GR.
Started the illumination project with this older Toyota dealership sign. It has LED's already mounted inside, but they were questionable.

Just checked the two loose roll bars I have. One I remember I took out of an 80 FJ40 in a wrecking year. Can't remember where I picked up the other one or when. It's a 77 or early 78 pre three point seat belts. I also have a 73 FST that the rear jump seats were taken out to install a custom roll bar. The bolt for the lap belts were on the front of the wheel well. Those are 7/16 20 with a 5/8" head on the nut. The 80 roll bar has a 7/16 20 bolt with a 14mm head on the seat belt anchor point. The others including the one added thru the main bar are all Metric. Interesting is the other also has a 7/16 20 welded nut where a seat belt would anchor. This is an original paint non rusted roll bar. It does not have the bracket welded on the bottom. Find that interesting. 1/76 US required three point seat belts on the front seat. But it wasn't until 2/78 seat belts moved to the roll bar.

Are you keeping your cadet blue 40? I saw you had it listed.
Not sure to be honest. Every time I show it the offers are silly low. So I am about over it. Maybe I'll put it in BAT if I change my mind.
Sold this one as well today. 26.5k
