ARCHIVE Your FJ45 LPB bed parts are in here!!

[Awl_TEQ]

Kevin,
I noticed the etching for the Toyota logo on the back gate in your prototype. Do you have dies to actually stamp the logo? If not, would it be possible, or practical to attach the logo-stamped sheet metal from an original gate to one of your gates? Thanks!
FLHJ

No, I don't have the dies to stamp the letters in. Yes, you can use an original stamped panel and my new frame. I am doing exactly that with my red tailgate. I will smooth and patch my stamped panel and replace the frame around it.

Due to the server issue some pictures were lost. flatlandhj had asked for some pictures of the tailgate assembly. I have the following six shots showing various views of tailgate parts.

Another member had mentioned he would like to know what it would cost to ship a bed to Tuscon AZ.

I replied that I was planning to get some quotes to ship a bed to LA, Tuscon, Atlanta, NY etc. - I will do that in the next week to ten days as I have a bed in stock that I can take to a nearby weigh scale for an accurate weight and guesstimate a crate size.

Hi Kevin,
Sorry if I have missed the info somewhere, but do you have the tailgate latches available?
Beautiful work by the way!
Cheers,
Henry.

henlan,

No I don't have the latches for the tailgate. CCOT sells them for around $30.00 US and I can't make them for any less than that.

Yikes - $859.09 us not including the brokerage fees from Calgary to Tucson

That is from Canadian Freightways who is partnered with several other large carriers.

I've got a few more e-mails out for LTL freight quotes from smaller outfits - I'll post up when I hear back.

Broken down into component parts the whole bed will fit on a standard skid - though the center floor section would stand 82" tall on that skid

If you guys wait the year till my 45 is done I'll need excuses for North American expeditions

I got another quote here - I imagine their price to Tucson would be similar

Subject: Quotes

Kevin,

Here is what I came up with. I quoted on a 400lb. crated truck bed. Dimensions are 90x30x65, freight class 150. Shipping from you to NY, Atl, and LA. The insurance will be around $40-$60 additional with a declared value of $3,000.

NY = $432 US
Atl = $399 US
LA = $385 US


Let me know what you think!

Thanks


I also now know that US buyers will have to pay about $275.00 (all in) for a broker to get the paperwork to cross the border. If you cart it across yourself it's $45.00.
