Toyota FJ40 Body Parts
Q: I saw in one of your recent issues that there is a company which makes replicas of old FJ40 Land Cruisers. I was wondering if you could give me the name of the company that makes them and also tell me if there are any companies that make fiberglass or aluminum replacement panels for FJs.

A: Nathan, the vehicle you speak of is the Icon, which is manufactured by TLC of Van Nuys, California [(818) 785-2200, www.tlcicon.com]. The Icon is a beautiful recreation of the classic FJ40 Land Cruiser and is constructed with great attention to detail with only the finest in OE and aftermarket parts. For replacement body parts, you can look to Aqualu Ind. [(888) 765-6714, www.aqualu.com], which produces durable, 5052 aluminum, replacement FJ40 rear-tub and front-cowl sections, along with windshield frames. The company also offers a variety of miscellaneous aluminum body pieces, including tailgates and front fenders. Aqualu also produces tubs and body parts for many Jeep vehicles. If fiberglass is more your speed, you can look to Malotte Mfg. [(916) 645-8111, www.malotmfg.com], which offers fiberglass tubs and one-piece front-end assemblies, as well as hardtops, fenders, hoods, and grilles. Man-A-Fre [(805) 578-8712, www.man-a-fre.com] in Simi Valley, California, is also another good source for Toyota FJ40 body parts. Good luck.
