Fiberglass top
I guess they are just pop rivets, stainless steel, I think. I have two roofs to repair. I am looking for "cleecos or kleeckos" not sure about the spelling but its those aircraft sheetmetal tools for aligning rivet holes while assembling sheetmatal, I think that would be handy.
air conditioner
You could do what the old Land Rovers did, they had another roof shaped piece of sheetmetal about 2 inches above the roof this kept the hot desert sun off the roof and allowed air to pass between them for cooling, not a bad idea for passive cooling.
FJ40 roof
Wow Thanks,
I'll give it a try. The roof also had a sun roof in it at some time, now there is just a big hole. I think instead of trying to fill the large hole I'll try to find another sun roof and put in.
FJ 40 top
Thanks for the I8MUD link I dont know my way around that site so well but is looks like it's in the right direction. It may be a huge pain, to repair the roof but when I bought my '40 is was a basket case (rust). I took it to work hung it by the rear bumper with a crane, sandblasted...
FJ 40 top
Yea, been collecting ol mopars for many years, still have the GTX I bought in highschool.
Cool Cruisers has the rain gutters but I wasx hoping for some pictures on how someone made the repair.
Any good step by step guides for re-attaching and repairing the fiberglass roof from an FJ40. Is Spector the only source for the metal pieces arround the roof?
I am rebuilding a '70 FJ40 for my son stationed in Afganastan, I would like to use the same color as the tan paint in this web site. Its a flat, non glossy paint. Any ideas?

Try compairing the gear ratio numbers, add the first and final gear ratios from the transmission thru the diff and that would give you a good idea what the differance would be.
I wish I knew the trans and transfercase ratios but I dont.
