    Will 5:29 gears fit LH78 axles?

    Thanks for the info, I've got stock 4.88s so getting assembled 3rd members will be the likely way I'll go. Also right now I'm having problems getting the electric locker to work reliably. I suppose switching out the electric locker for an ARB will the best option. The original purpose for this...

    Cruiser rust

    This stuff is good for float-planes. It works fine on cruisers too. ACF-50 Buy it from aviation supply houses. Just hose it in every couple of years and fogetaboutit. No need to get anal and obssessive about rust. Diesel fuel works too but only last about 30 days.

    She's a Mutt no question. But where the rubber meets the trail she's a Cruiser.:) I keep my 40 in Wassilla.

    SOA

    You can do a perfectly functional SOA without the added expenses of cut-and-turn, shackle reversal and a DC drive-shaft. Which leaves more money for things like lockers, a winch, an air-tank, spare birfields and gasoline.:)

    Quick questions from a new 40 owner

    I only know this because I had a 78 for a little while that had the fuel tank under the body. Probably not many of them out there.

    Will 5:29 gears fit LH78 axles?

    I'm checking on the gears. Unfortunately I'm not running a Toyota engine/trans/tranfercase.:( The rest of the running gear is from a late model Trooper with a 3.1L 4JB2 engine and 5spd.

    Shackle reversal info please

    And it's a waste of money. If you want your cruiser to handle like a car then buy a Corolla. If you want your cruiser to handle the trail better buy a locker and do a SOA.

    Joined the cult

    It's really a shame how Toyota dropped the ball with the FJC. They could have easily offered a simple utilitarian vehicle instead of more stylish plastic. You will love the 40. I cant even look at an FJC without thinking how silly it is. (fortunately I've only seen one so far here)

    Spring flip or not?
