3rd gen ('98, for instance) 4Runner wiper arms (ideally, both left arms) make a great, modern replacement for FJ60/62s, too. The problem with old, used FJ60 wiper arms is that the springs typically are weak and they don't give you a good wipe. We all like a good wipe....

I must have gotten rid of the old arms in the move when I lost my shop space. I did the 4Runner arm upgrade and it’s great. I used two LH arms, PN below:

8522135080 Arm, LH
9017908113 Nut, Wiper Arm
8519212800 Cover, Wiper Arm Head

Partsouq has the arm for around $38. I used standard NAPA blade assemblies, can’t remember the part number but they measure about 16.5” long. Maybe 17”?

Edit: Corrected the nut PN

In 2017, I lived in a duplex in Utah where my neighbor had this truck in his driveway. I tried multiple times to buy it from him over the years, but he kept telling me he is going to give it to his son (who is married with kids and moved away) to restore. My brother just told me last month that he bumped into the guy and the story remains the same.

OMG! That looks like my '76 when I first got it, and what I intend it to look like when I'm done with the resto!

I never knew you could do periods on your license plate. I wonder if all 6 are possible.

Spotted @subzali on C470 a week or more ago. Good to see you driving the 40! I was the blue Tundra that honked at you. 😁

Is that a Maltec top?

 

[DaveInDenver]

Is that a Maltec top?

Or maybe a Trakka?

Jim, I didn’t know that maltec made tops…I thought just the rear camper additions for trays and chopped wagons.

Edit: did some research…

Found this, not sure it’s a maltec.


Mostly kept finding these:

I could be wrong, not really a Maltec expert! There’s a logo on the back of it but it’s too blurry to read. Cool either way!
