I backed up my HJ45 Pickupp into a tree. Now I need to figure out how to repair the dented tailgate!

Changed the oil and went with the Denso 150-2066 available for about $6 from several sources including densoproducts.com. I must say, the Baldwin B2 that was in my truck felt more heavy duty. Then inspected the oil, spark plugs, washed it and then went for a drive.

Time for a wireless reversing camera?
Yeah! Reverse camera for sure!!!You can't post that without photos

Disappointing that the light take a whack, at least you can buy them though.
Pop the light out and you can probably jack most of that out against the chassis.
Yeah the lights and lower part look relatively easy to fix.
My main concern is for the tailgate!
I have an interesting question. My buddy who is in the marine industry told me I should not be running synthetic oil in my 2F. He said older motors need and oil with a high zinc content. Anybody know anything about this?
This oil is a synthetic blend but has a higher zinc content than newer oils. It was recommended by Redline Land Cruisers. I trust them. @RLMS

I use Rotella. Is that good for the 1H?
I use Rotella T4. Works fine.

I am not an oil expert and have used different oils in the past. I just know with these old flat tappet engines more zinc content is better. Like I said, I was just following recommendation from a specialty Land Cruiser shop. Lots of oil threads on here if you want to research.

Got the soft top on this past Sunday after repairing my B- pillar.
I love that color
Bought a bag of M6 grease nipples and greased the whole driveline without needing to borrow a nipple from somewhere else!
Nothing more satisfying than pumping grease into sloppy dry 45 year old joints

Very inspiring, getting the grease gun out as we speak, I'm sure everything under this pig needs a little bit of lube
Installed new Bilistein shocks in an effort to help smooth out the ride. Although it is still one bumpy FJ, the jolt has greatly reduced saving my kidneys. Now I need to work on how to mellow out the stiff springs. Running HFS 4" springs so any suggestions would be appreciated.
