I am so glad that you were able to sell the top. You had a question on fitment in the ongoing thread in the 40 section. I don't know if you are going to answer. I would hate to see someone else get caught unless Travis is handling the fitment issues. I would highly suggest any of our members wanting to buy one to talk to Jim first. Not trying to cause hard feelings between anybody just be informed before you buy. Take a good hard look at the pics Jim posted of the top and you will see some of the issues that Jim and I found.

The 81'+ FJ40/FJ60's received vented rotor upgrades then, but I don't think the calipers are any different. Usually when you get a donor axle for the conversion the calipers need/should rebuilding and the rotors need replacing. If you want all new, then you upgrade to FJ60 vented rotors, and buy new Mini Truck IFS 4 piston calipers. I believe you can upgrade to the vented rotors first and then swap out the calipers later, but that is the best Land Cruiser front disc setup you can get. I am running this setup in mine and they stop my 38's great.

The knuckles were upgraded to the larger pattern in 76'. I have not extensively researched the difference between the 62 knuckles and others, but if they added anything it would be minimal at best. If you really want the best knuckles and steering studs possible, then you need a set of 6 stud knuckles from Trail Gear, and then a set of 4x4Labs high steer arms for them. Depending on how hardcore you plan to ride will depend on the extent of how far you will need to go with this.

Let me know if you have any questions.

BELMONT148 · 07-23-09, 09:17 AM

I was wrong about the knuckle pattern. 76' is still the small pattern. If you plan to run longs, then stay away from installing this set. However you could still use the lockouts, hardware, hubs, and spindles and buy everything else new.

Keep in mind that you will need new steering arms with the larger pattern knuckles. 4x4Labs is your friend for those.

It looks like Glenn would be best served with this axle, as it will be a nice upgrade for a mild wheeler/stock driver running 33's or less.

David, you will need the larger knuckles just like he is looking for. Or a set of Dana 44's from a Waggy or Wide track CJ.

Thanks Greg,
I need to answer the post and I imagine I will......its hard when you want to take the high road, but at the same time feel like you and anyone else who might purchase from that seller are getting a pretty bum deal.......
The problem is, until someone says something, that soft top thread, with over 33OOO views looks like a pretty good selling tool for that top......Thats probably why the guy didnt sell the top on IH8mud - hoping he'd sell that top to someone that wasnt on mud......thus destroying what appeared to be a good rep for a decent top......

BELMONT148 · 07-23-09, 01:44 PM

I am selling my .270 Winchester bolt action rifle. It is the synthetic stock model with a factory scope. I don't think I even ever shot it. The dealer will give me $400 trade for it, but I need cash to pay for another gun I bought online. So I will sell it for $350 hoping for a quick sell. I can send pics if anyone is interested.

$350

Thanks
Jeremy

Brock · 07-23-09, 02:07 PM

what model is it...M70? Is it the controlled feed version or not?

BELMONT148 · 07-23-09, 02:24 PM

I am not sure, did they only put that on select models when they started making these in 92'? I believe this was bought in 2001. I think I read somewhere about that feature on the 'Classic' model but not sure on mine. What should I look for, a fully supported claw holding the round as it is chambered or something?

Jeremy

Brock · 07-23-09, 03:12 PM

all the Pre-64 models were controlled feed...then they did it again on the M70 Classics and Featherweights. If yours is synthetic stock then it is likely the regular feed not controlled feed. Yeah the claws grasp the cartridge and hold it during the feeding process....rather than just pushing it up the ramp into barral.

BELMONT148 · 07-23-09, 03:17 PM

Ok, it's an M70 combo set. It has the synthetic stock so it probably doesn't have it.

But it's a $350 rifle made in america. You interested?

Jeremy

73fj40lc · 07-23-09, 03:50 PM

All right Glenn the 76 axle is your's if you want it. Do you have a rear 40 axle to go with the front 76 for gearing purposes. Both are available if you want them. I know that you are glad that I have that 76 you are getting good parts off of it. I am just glad that another addict is getting what he needs without some of these assholes I've seen trying to get rich off of them. Let me know what you decide. E-Mail: Gregeshaw@aol.com
Cell: (843)687-4072
Leave message on cell if you call. Since the train crash in Cali. Talking or texting while running Locomotives is a federal offense.

So for everybody out there I am still looking for a 62 axle for the disc swap. Greg

lextechautomotive · 07-23-09, 04:35 PM

I'm just going to use the components from the knuckles out for the swap as the 55 housing is wider than a 40. I'll take it. I assume the front axle is still mounted under the vhicle?

BELMONT148 · 07-23-09, 05:02 PM

You owe me Glenn for talking him out of using this on his rig?

You can just give me the third members as payment.

I bought 5 steelies with center caps from a gentleman a month or more ago and they were dropped off at my buddies near Charlotte to keep at his motorcycle dealership. Picked them up yesterday and they are brand new pretty much with great centercaps and no scratches or rust anywhere....so these are going to be the ones I put mudders on if my wife ever lets me drive FJ again...

what really caught me by surprise is the guy left on his tires....nearly new set of 5 ea BFG AT KO tires...looks to have about 15,000++ miles left on them as they are about halfway worn and those are usually at least a 40k tire. Spare is brand new with zero miles but other four are worn a bit.

If someone wants a great deal on 5x BFG AT KO (3ply sidewall) in 265x70x17....make me an offer. They go for $200 a piece on Discount Tires Direct.......so make a serious offer and they are yours. Tires only...not wheels..unless you make me an even better offer.

here they are all stacked and mounted as I bought them..just took out of back of FJ60 tonight.

This shows tread on the 4 primary tires as the guy did not rotate in his spare more than once....the tread is a little over half of the spare tread which still has nubs on it in places.

Here is the spare....so figure they got about 15-20K miles left on the tires being the avg wear on this style and brand.

76 axle course spline pinion

Have yet to see a cruiser axle without vented rotors. I thought that was a mini truck thing.

75-78 axles had small pattern knuckles. Not really an issue unless your going over 35's or doing a SOA. Actually I'm running a 76 currently SOA with 4x4 labs small pattern arms. No issues yet but I don't wheel very hard.

75-78 usually had Warn locking hubs. Because the 75-78 fine spline birf were long. Something that stopped doing after 78. Warn hubs are a know weak issue.

That being said I have 2 sets of them sitting on a pallet.

Best thing to do is rob a 62 axle of everything. minus the housing. A front third is used very little and it's nice to have a fine spline pinion.

My understand is the 55 and 40 axles are identical through the years.

If anyone wants to do a cheap SOA without buying all new steering stuff I have an aqula arm for sale for the small pattern knuckles. Selling it for 100 + shipping.

I still got the 5 BFG AT KO tires if anyone is interested.... price has been reduced as tired of them sitting in my garage already. $400 for all 5 tires and they are yours. I know someone that has a 17 inch wheel on their rig needs a set of tires that are good for another 20-30k miles.
