FJ-55 Registry
Hi All-
I’m putting together an FJ-55 registry as some parts seem to be harder and harder to find. Personally I’ve become so frustrated trying to find parts, I’ve started making my own. I think synergies can be developed between the ‘55’s owners. Please provide the following for the registry: Owners Name Year VIN State FJ-55 resides Any Modifications Please email information to fj55tlc@gmail.com When I assemble the information, I’ll create a web page where owners can view each others info, via a login (your email address) and a password. Always open to suggestions…. Thanks Seth |

On the way into the hot springs ? That's a sweet place back in there. Haven't had the 40 in there yet, but I plan on it sometime this year.

I purchased the Safari 4" Suspension kit from Man-A-Fre a few years ago...
So, I beleive the springs are Safari brand. It has (probably) a 2" over stock springs coupled with (probably) 2" over stock anti-inversion/greaseable shackles. I got the OME shocks and U-bolt flip kit with it as well. Firm at first, but more stable at speeds and cornering-without rear stabilizer. Allows for heavy loads and I like the upgrade over stock, of course. __________________ 1970 FJ55 Lucy-Trail Pig http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pi...ml#post3162540 1977 FJ55 Lily-Princess Pig http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pi...e-old-pig.html |

FJBen- So, you did buy the other one! I saw your post elsewhere about the new-to-you piggie. Nice pig! I hope you find it a new home soon. I have been eyeballing a couple more local pigs and may pick one up to spruce-up and then sell. That way I can keep owning multiple pigs...
I am still debateing between some custom Alcans or a SOA on my new pig. I am trying to drive both- too bad you live so far away. __________________ 1970 FJ55 Lucy-Trail Pig http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pi...ml#post3162540 1977 FJ55 Lily-Princess Pig http://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-pi...e-old-pig.html |

The 72 has OME shocks and Safari springs, my 76 has Alcans and doetsch tech. The alcans ride waaaay better. Haven't tried the flex test yet but i would definitely think the Alcans are better. They are a better built spring, teflon pads etc...and they are the true lift height. Both are supposed to be 4" lifts...but my 76 sits quite a bit higher, i know the tires are some of that, but it's more that 2" That said, next year I will do the SOA on mine using the de-arched alcans. That is my best solution...I would suggest Alcans SOA for yours...around ~$200 a spring... __________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 93 FJZ80 Slee 4"/OMEJ, 35's, 4.88's, ARB's, Metal Tech sliders, On Board Air, caster plates, DC drive shaft, Pin7, CDL, adjustable rear uppers, ARB front bumper, homemade rear, Slee Skid Plate, extended brakelines, backup camera, Conferr Rack 96 FZJ80 285's OME 's ride
