- 1987 FJ60
- Matt
- Not yet christened
- 165K miles
- 32" MT/R's. Otherwise general maintenance only so far. First to come will be full OME suspension and Bullbar.
- She's mainly used as argument propellant with my fiancee. She also sees the mountains for camping and snow as well as hopefully some moderate wheeling once repairs are completed. The rest of the time I piss her off by sitting in city traffic.

That bumper was fabbed by a member of LSLC who (as I undestand it) no longer makes them. He also made some sliders and rear bumpers with swing-out tire carriers for some guys in the club; it was really some fine work and they are all solid as a rock. Looks like ARB quality. I lucked out. Here is a pic I shot for you this morning. I recently got pulled out of a ravine in Clayton, OK with those D-rings, and they were very well suited for the job. See attachment.

***edit: bumper was replaced with an ARB***

Thanks

Thanks.

You can see more pics here http://www.pbase.com/haffinn/landcruiser

The extra alternator is located above the power steering pump. I made a bracket bolted onto the engine block and welded a track for the belt on the power steering pulley. The third battery is located behind the air-filter box.

I hope you can see something you like on the pics.

Hey Nick,
Just curious, how do you like the shackle reversal + OME combo? I like the OME but 35's would be nice. I've read that SR gives a smoother ride, at least in FJ40's. Girlfriend likes a smoother ride, and I like the girlfriend, hence that's really why I'm asking.

Is body lean more noticeable now?

Could the MAF setup with extended shackles be done for $500? Thanks.
Gamarra

Gamarra,
The SR with OME setup is great, i am really happy with it. The ride is great except the rear shocks a springs are heavy duty and can sometimes be pretty rough. If u do get the setup go with 35's there is no rub except for a tiny bit in complete stuff, and they look alot better than 33's on it.

Nick
