Great test run. All is good. Peppy fella.

Good morning, folks. I appreciate all the input and comments. I’m aware that the truck has a pre 76 tub. It has a 4spd tranny and front bench seats. My 40 came from Costa Rica and it was picked up from the port of houston 5 years ago. The Rack...

Yea at first I thought it a was the COMMO rig from Hell.

For some reason your pictures didn’t show when I first saw your post. Beautiful BJ40. The weight of the hard top and accessories up top aren’t helping I would guess. Love the fish antennas.

I have a few questions for the 40 gurus on the forum.: Q1- Were 40s sold from the factory (factory base specs) with a slight rear-end sag? My 76 BJ40 has slight rear-end sag, about 1.5” lower than the front snd it’s beginning to bother me a bit...

Yes on the 33’s and no idea on the window. They did have purple tint on them if that’s any help 😂 I always wondered where they came from.

The old guy slopped paint on it in places the patina was showing with plans to have it painted one day that never happened. I'm not going to try to remove it.

This one owner California truck is in the shop. Owner bought it new when he was 25. Going to work on making the original paint pop After

I’m sure it will level out nicely and give you the lift you want. You have to remember that a lot of hands have been on that 50 year old vehicle and there’s no telling what someone may have done or if they are just worn out original springs...

Oh he's not gonna pass from his cancer soon, it;s in remission and he has a great outlook........he just chose to spend the near future on other things other than this truck......

I just finished my 2 year long project, and now I want to share it with some people who might appreciate it. It has a few bugs at the moment but nothing major at all. Specs: 1971 land cruiser, complete frame off and new body. Dana 60 front and 14...

Almost done!

here we go. Just did the one for now as today was a lot busier than i thought it would be. so this is set up to be cut from a 2.4x1.2m sheet of steel, not sure what US standard sizes are. But thats about 4 feet high. as cut, you will get an...

I didn't get a good pic of the before...was in too much of a hurry that day I guess But the after is much cleaner. Not only the powder but the passenger fender losing all that MSD nonsense

Still playing around with the tray and body heights are a bit off. Not too sure where it is exactly but check all mounts and there is some wear but maybe that’s how they are🤷🏻‍♂️ Making my OCD get triggered😂 Anyway finished painting my rear bar...

Today I was taking care of little things, rerouting chassis wires, routing the speedometer cable (had to get the new stock cable modified to work with my auto meter speedo), re-installing the instrument cluster and installed the plug wires and...

I also have a batch of FJ40 front bumpers going thru the shop. FJ40-0001-000: Standard front bumper with M8274 provision. $749.70 + tax and shipping FJ40-0002-000: Front bumper with clevis hooks and M8274 Provision. $785.94 + tax and...

One of these

Quick mock up. They look pretty good. Need to let the paint cure a bit before getting them mounted.

I used a 32” GM tilt / shift column from Speedway with their 15” GM early 1950’s truck steering wheel, Saginaw power steering in a 5.3 LS / 4l60e swap. Just google ‘FJ40 LS swap’ and a ton of information will be at your fingertips. The part...

32” Ididit column, Lokar shift mechanism. 67 FJ45

Got the top and the bezel painted.

Easily solved by redrilling the spring perches and u-bolt plates. Worth the effort for better aesthetics of a wheel well centered rear axle.

In some of the FJ40 installs it looks like the rear axle is moved forward. Any idea how much? I’ve already got a pretty short driveshaft (or so my wife says) from Tom Woods so moving the axle forward is a no go. Looks like a great product though.
