are the hood windshield bump stops correct? I thought those were for later 1960s fj40s. the windsheild rear view mirror should be more like the style I have smaller and rectangular. still really cool to see a restored fj25. I have never seen one in person.See a few things that were not FJ25 from the front and sides. The back was a huge disappointment.

I'm a fan of the Odyssey batteries. They hold up with minimal maintenance charging needed. I'll put one in my 40 when it needs a new battery.Used some of my Christmas bonus to buy a $pendy battery for the 40. Hope it's as good as they say, I have bought whole cars for less than this thing costs!

Rebuilt center arm and a new damper did the trick- steering feeling fully dialed inHoping this rebuilt center arm is the final step in shoring up my steering. Thanks to @OTRAMM for a great step by step video on the rebuild!

Wow! I would kill for factory bowsDidn't think this would ever happen and about a week ago I was looking to see how much shipping would be on the Real Steel bow kit. My Craigslist search alerts have been running for around 5 years and never alerted on soft top bows until a few days ago. Super lucky/thankful to get this factory soft top bow set for my 72 FST with bonus front seats in really good condition. I forgot to ask the seller if he's on mud, if he is and sees this, thanks again.

bought one for my bike and I thought it was expensive. It survived a trip to South America, including falling in the ocean when our boat capsized, didn’t even have to charge it after. Since then I only buy this battery brand, it hasn’t let me down. I think the same battery is sold and packaged with various brand names though.Used some of my Christmas bonus to buy a $pendy battery for the 40.

They really don’t trust the E-brake. Two wheels chocked and chain to the rear shackle.
Maybe the chain is a theft deterrent… not actually much of a deterrent… but most people are honest.
Neither do I!They really don’t trust the E-brake.
...
I can't say that I blame them, with all the lawsuits these days.
Neither do I!
