I think I have a pic of a 3 and 4 linked FJ40 with no front fenders sitting on 42" IROC's - looks awesome.
I'd like to see some pics of your 4-link and the shocks. What's the benefit of air shocks over high end ($$$) coil overs?
Lastly - You've seen my pic of the busted Poly axle - hopefully just a defective one - but might be time to get some Chromo shafts. Good luck with the pinion.

My tires can flex into the fender aprons in the front, I don't run any fenders. I don't have bumpstops currently, I do plan to add some in the front though.
I'll post pics of the rear 4-link soon. The air shocks cost about half as much as coil-overs.
I've seen your broken rear axle pics. You Florida boys are hard on rear axles! You and Jim both broke rear axle shafts at the GSMTR in 2004 I think. I've only seen one other off-set rear axle shaft broken. I have never personally seen anyone break a mini truck rear axle shaft, although I know it's been done. I have had good luck with the fine spline pinion in the rear so far.
