Howdy guys does anyone have an old set of leaf springs off of their fj40? I have a frame and body that I need to get off the ground for now to make a roller. This project is a bit down the road so even worn out ones would be of great use.

I'm down in Southern Oregon but can make a trip up north if needed.

You may want to mention the year of your frame because 79+ springs are 1/4" wider than the earlier years.

Thank you for the heads up. I've now learned of yet another change!

I'm not sure of the specific month that the change happened but the older springs are 2-3/4" wide and the newer springs are 3" wide. Maybe someone else will be able to chime in with the month of the change if they know. I have a set of 02/80 front springs sitting here (for sale) and they are 3" wide and my 78 springs are 2-3/4" wide.

I may have a set off my '78 FJ40. Will check when I get home on Thursday. They are in WI though. Not sure about shipping costs.

@pendergastjm Hi John, good to know of another WI cruiser junkie! I am 45 minutes south in Racine, although I have a good friend on the Cedarburg PD so I am up there from time to time. If you drop me a PM with your contact info (phone) I will add you to my list of WI/IL cruiser contacts and let you know when I will be up there next.
