I see you have some new fenders. How do those fit? Are they the same quality as the old ones? I am debating whether to blast my old ones and repair or just use the new set I have. I heard the newer stuff is not as good as the originals?

I know they're all discontinued, but humor me if you don't mind......... Truck is a 1967 FJ45LPB. Anyone have part numbers for the following: Stoplight housing, left Stoplight housing, right Gaskets for both sides Fuel filler neck flex hose...the big "L" shped one that joins the filler neck to the tank. If you can help.....thanks!!!!

That's awesome. Frame it.

They are new Toyota BJ fenders. I've only set them in place with a couple of hand tight fasteners to check clearances and all the holes seem to line up with the tub, side step etc. The BJ fenders are different than the FJ's in that they have a string of captured nuts around the shock towers for a rubber skirt that came on BJ units. A minor difference but since I had the option I took it. Hilltop Cruisers had them in stock when I was...

Thanks Erik! This is just my list from what I gathered from Gary(previous owner). I added a few other items... I have to be honest, I LOVE original. Original does not necessarily mean better. I'm just one of those guys who thinks it is a crime to mod or even CUT on an original. Maybe a 2.5 lift and larger but skinny tires and call it a day. I love my 1967 FJ40. 3 on tree and drum brakes. Gotta love it!

Thanks Jason. SOR makes the perches, eh? I'll pop on there and see. I wonder if John still has any extra perches laying around? Did you hook up the rear axle hand brake on Wilma? Josh

no on both actuallly :( he just had a pair that he had bought for something and did not use and we horse traded for them. I have rear disk brakes and had spent way too much on setting up a drum ebrake on the back of my split transfer case. in the lv but I would thin you could just hook the cable up to the ebrake handle in your cruiser jason
