I’m still doing body work but getting close to being done. Down to all the little details like removing, restoring and installing brackets, hooks/hangers, captive nuts, etc. It will all come together quickly after the painters do their thing. Engine is ready for final assembly and I’ve finished rebuilding the trans/transfer so there aren’t too many big projects left. The amount of patches, filler and caulk on this body is crazy. Some parts are barely recognizable. This bracket spans the corner of the driver front wheel well between the front cab and the bed. Taking my time on all the little details.

Let’s go…
This tedious work pays off as you step back and see it all come together. I can’t wait to see it painted!

Been working more around the house after 4 months of neglect …on the other hand, this showed up today
I used that fluid in my 40 last time I serviced the transmission.
updated the drain plugs to the 10mm Allen head at the same time.
Did you go to Jeep Day at Crystal Beach? I saw on the news the residents are extremely pissed off there.
No, I stayed away from there. We went to Sunny Beach on the island, plenty of other rigs there too. I live here on the island.

Dressed up under the hood: Replaced solid band stainless hose clamps with OE double wire ones (still available from Toyota). (On a side note, I was recently under the hood of our Lexus and noticed that they still use the same clamps). This seemingly simple project hit a hiccup when one of the inlet nipples on the rear heater broke off and puked fresh new coolant all over the place. Sourced a backup rear heater core while I mailed off the original for repair. The “while your in there” list included replacing the upper and lower thermostat housings with OE (still available from dealer); new OE upper & lower T-Stat housing bolts; new OE thermostat & gaskets; heater shutoff valve (@ToyotaMatt); a shiny rocker cover from Nate (@mattressking), OE rocker cover gasket and a OE firewall heater hose bracket from Dallas (@dmaddox) and hard fuel line brackets from Paul (@Ackcruisers). Also, added a couple of M6 nutserts at firewall to accommodate screws for heater hose shield at front passenger footwell. Also, replaced plug and coil wires with OE. Burped her with the burping funnel and put her to bed. Thank you Matt, Nate, Dallas and Paul.

Got rid of the "Cow Catcher" front bumper and installed a factory fresh bumper. Refurbished the drag link too.
She is starting to look good. Next up side view mirrors and refurbished front signal lights.

@Green Bean big undertaking with seemingly routine maintenance parts…this is a great feeling of accomplishment in my book and inspires longevity for your FJ40 each time you start it up…
I was really looking forward to doing some Land Cruisey things like the MT-90 trans fluid and my @shipmag hose…. but had a side track today…
My wife said “. Make believe it’s the FJ40”. …

Do you have the hose clamp part numbers? My next-ish task is to replace all the cooling hoses.

05/29/2024 Edit:
I believe that 96111-10580 is the larger 58 mm radiator hose that fits on the hose at the bottom of the water pump and on each side of the "Tee" connection. (Total of 3 required). The other radiator hoses are a bit smaller (50mm) and go at the upper radiator, upper water pump and lower radiator. (Total of 3 required). The water pump bypass hose uses 2 hose clamps, part # 96112-10330 (33mm). I think that when I first ordered my clamps I didn't order the 58mm (96111-10580) and I had to go back an order those.
I hope this helps.
