Aussie 1978 FJ40 Buildup

Thought I'd start a bit of a buildup thread for my FJ since I installed the lift last weekend.

This is how I bought it off a mate.....(I've got to give him the rims and tyres back when I get rid of my 37's and get some 35's) See my intro thread for my pics/details from when I bought it.
New Aussie FJ40 owner!! - IH8MUD.com Forum




I installed the 4" custom springs that came with the truck last weekend.....Couple poser flex shots with the std. springs (no shocks)






The std. front springs at the top, the new front springs on the bottom. You can see the taller clamps that are on them, which allows the leafs to open up a little on down travel.




Same again, but the rears. I ended up having dramas with these....as you'll see below.
