Stop calling it a "FJ."
Hi All:
What sort of projects are you guys doing on your trucks this winter?
I myself am doing two upgrades and a repair or two on my '74 FJ40 (see my ROTW) in anticipation of getting back out on the trail this spring.

The upgrades are a Delco high-output alternator upgrade and longer leaf springs under the rearend. The major repair is the latch on the swing-away spare tire carrier.
I've completed the alternator upgrade project, and all seems to being working fine.
I'm in the middle of the rear suspension upgrade - have stripped-out the old springs and am just bolting-up the new, longer replacements.
I've purchased a replacement latch to replace the broken one of the spare tire carrier, but have not got around to installing it yet.
So, what about you guys? Tell us about your winter projects on the rig!
Regards,
Alan
