Damn, I think the 40 guys have become over-run. I know Schaeffer has a 60 series, but I figured there'd be more people with 40's. Everybody likes a forty, right? 
Oh, I meant FJ 40! LOL

Thats cool, that sounds like a sweet a$# ride.
If you get a chance, post some pics. I'm also having my rear quarters replaced on my 71,so I can't even take pics.

Good to know, O.U. (old ugly) comes home in about a week or so, I'll post pics too. If you guys can, please post some pics. i'm about ready to paint it and am trying to decide which direction to go. I'm thinking white right now!
80's are great, why can't my money supply be endless!#!##!@#!!! I'd have one of every model in my expanded garage!
Thanks, Doug

I agree completely. Its somewhat of an education process for me, as everytime I open something new, I find out I have just caused something new to be broken! 
Any experience on the newer models? JSB is looking at a 93 w/ 94k on it.
Have you ever done a tub replacement instead of just that particular panel? I've been thinking about it on my 80, but am not sure if I can get the same satisfaction out of just replacing the bad panels. You know, rear quarters, rockers and cargo area, the usual spots.
thanks,
Doug

I have considered doing complete tub replacements too. The only thing that I keep going back to is that, while aluminum and fiberglass will last longer, I have typically seen that they fetch lower prices when they later sell. I am not in it to make money or anything, but if I'm going to do the work, I want it to be worth something more in the long run.
I really don't have any experience with newer models. My last three daily drivers have been 4runners (for the last 11 years) I just have the cruisers for fun and recreation. Honestly I probably spend more time working on them than driving them. It is definitely a learn as you go process!
