From what I can tell there are two models of the warn hub do you know which model fits the M193 or M47D ac73 FJ 40

I am restoring a 73 FJ 40 and need new locking hubs for 6 spline does anyone have them or know where I can get new ones. I don't really care for the AVM brand. Thanks

Thanks, everyone, for your insights. I also have the choice to have 16 or 15-inch OEM steel rims installed. Is there a preference between 15 and 16" ?

No, I was on the way out to a place called white pocket, and it is through deep sand. I was not aired down, and I think the sidewall just gave out. Luckily, the jack and spare were in good shape.

Thanks, I like the AT KO2's although I blew one out in Kanab, Utah in my Jeep.

I am having a 1973 FJ40 restored I have added OME 2.5 lift, front disc brakes, a F2 with four speed. I am going to use it primarily as a weekend driver, and my daughter and wife will be driving it also on occasion to the beach. What tires would you recommend for street driving on 15-inch steel...

Did Toyota use a different stamp Font script on any of the engines in the 70"s. I ask because I have seen two different stamped fonts on engine blocks. Thanks

Thank you so very much. I have reached out to Kurt for his recommendation at to order the complete kit since the springs are 50 years old I think it would be good to go with all new suspension parts for the next 50 years. That is unless the state of California decided to confiscate gas engines.

Thanks, G-Cat, as for the OME selection is there a difference between light vs med vs heavy. Is there some metric I should follow as to weight and use?

Hi all, I am glad to be here. I am restoring a 73 FJ 40 and I have a question about suspension. If I instal just the EMU shocks and damper will that give me any lift on the truck? Or do I also have to install new springs and shackles? What are the advantages and disadvantages of going either...
