FJ45 cab panels differ from FJ40 items behind the doors — always confirm whether a panel is 40-specific, 45-specific or shared across the 40-Series before ordering. Bed and back-panel parts are FJ45-only. Match your build year, as pressings changed across the long production run.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with any reproduction panel, trial-fit against the vehicle before final welding or paint. Minor adjustment at flanges and mounting points is a normal part of professional panel fitting, even with precision replica pressings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe maths of new steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRestorers rarely regret buying a new panel; they regret the three weekends spent trying to save an old one first. Repairing a corroded body assembly means paying for blasting, fabrication time and filler — and the result is still fifty-year-old metal. A replica pressing costs a known amount, arrives straight, and spares a donor vehicle from being cut up for parts. Your original panel can stay with the vehicle for provenance; your build gets metal you can trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 is the long-wheelbase, load-carrying member of the 40-Series family, built from 1960 through the mid-1980s as a pickup, cab-chassis and troop-carrier. It shares its front clip, windscreen frame and much of its cab structure with the FJ40, but adds a longer frame, a dedicated steel truck bed and unique rear cab panels. FJ45s worked even harder than their short-wheelbase brothers — most spent their lives on farms and stations — so straight, rust-free original examples are now genuinely rare, and values for well-restored trucks have climbed sharply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe FJ45's trouble spots mirror the FJ40's, with the addition of the truck bed itself: bed floors, bed fenders, tailgates and the lower back panel of the cab all trap moisture and rot from the inside out. Reproduction cab and bed panels stamped to the original profiles let restorers replace entire corroded structures instead of forming patch sections by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Professional \/ experienced builder  |  \u003cstrong\u003eTypical time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–3 days for removal and replacement, excluding refit  |  \u003cstrong\u003eWelding required:\u003c\/strong\u003e no.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA complete assembly replaces unbolt-and-lift structure: disconnect wiring, fuel and brake lines routed through the body, unbolt the mounts, and lift the old structure off the chassis. Inspect and refurbish chassis outriggers and mounts before the new assembly goes on — new body on rusty mounts is wasted money. Shim to factory alignment before final torque, then transfer doors and hardware and set all gaps. These assemblies ship by international sea freight in dedicated crates; inspect on delivery and photograph the crate before opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTools:\u003c\/strong\u003e engine crane or several helpers, body-mount hardware, alignment datums, transport-damage inspection kit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon mistakes to avoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e fitting to unrestored body mounts, discarding shims, and skipping the delivery inspection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality \u0026amp; Manufacturing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBodyBros replica panels are pressed on dedicated tooling developed from measured original panels, in automotive-grade material matched to the application. Pressings are checked against reference bucks for profile, flange geometry and hole placement before packing. Steel panels are supplied with a protective primer coating ready for preparation and refinishing; alloy and plastic parts are supplied ready to prepare and paint. These are aftermarket replica restoration parts — manufactured by BodyBros, not by the original vehicle maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWorldwide Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe ship worldwide — including the United States, Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Panels are packed in purpose-built cartons or timber crates depending on size; large assemblies travel by sea or air freight with tracking.

FJ45 cab panels differ from FJ40 items behind the doors — always confirm whether a panel is 40-specific, 45-specific or shared across the 40-Series before ordering. Bed and back-panel parts are FJ45-only.

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 commonly rusts in the cab back panel, bed floor and bed fenders, tailgate, sills, floors and lower corners, and this replica pressing replaces corroded original metal with new steel — no donor vehicle required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo you ship this internationally?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
