    First attempt at replacing the suspension on my '78

    Yes sir it sure is. Since the pictures and post were made I've replaced all the wheel cylinders. Yes, new shackles too. The rear left side shackle slipped, or didn't stay straight, and is now making that corner sag but I haven't had time to address it yet.

    This FJ does have power steering. Are you saying the pitman arm against the shock is unnecessary since I have power steering, or am I misunderstanding your message? Pardon my ignorance once again...

    I get that for sure, but I just spent $2200 for the whole kit. Easy fix is to get smaller diameter shocks and throw the OME shocks on the shelf... Just hate to waste that much money on new shocks to replace new shocks, ha!

    WOW!! I need to re-do my brakes and balljoints bad. Yours are so shiny and new, ha! Ya, my geometry all looks the same as yours does. The rear springs and shocks really helped level things up, but my shock is still touching, not as bad, but close. Thanks for the input gents!

    No I have not, thank you so much! Looking thru the posts. I checked, and the springs are centered on the nub on the center of the springs, so I'm not sure how it wouldn't be "centered" correctly, and the grease ends are up. Is there another way you can tell if the axle is centered correctly...

    The truck doesn't sit squarely. Hoping that putting the new springs and shocks on the rear will help. Am optimistic, but not certain. I've sat in the driver's seat to see if my 200lbs will level it somewhat, but it didn't seem to effect it either way. Any suggestions?

    First attempt at replacing the suspension on my '78

    I got this FJ about 5 years ago, bought it online through a listing from a dealership in TX. I hadn't had an FJ since the early 90s and I wanted one so bad, that it obviously clouded my better judgment. The dealer had a dozen pictures and that's all I needed to see at the time I guess. Got it...

    Tub Plugs

    Thank you so much. Looking at both sites, neither have the correct number on the plug that I have. They don't give dimensions of the plug, so I hate to just order these (pictured below) in hopes that they're the right one. It does say however that this one pictured does replace the old...

    Tub Plugs

    Hi all, I've done a fair amount of searching for these plugs but can't seem to come up with them. I'm attaching several pictures. I'm sure someone here knows a source for them. I've tried searching the part # at Frontier Toyota also and nothing there... I pulled this plug outta my '78 FJ40...
