What is your toe-in setting? Another thing to consider is tire pressure. To much pressure and you are only riding on the center of the tread which will make it feel loose. As an example, with my 33x12.5-15's, I run 17 PSI rear and 21 PSI...

I had a car poster made. Now people won't ask me about my Jeep at the car shows. ;)

There are several tuning guides.

You might like a little bit more of toe-in with larger tires. I'm closer to 1/4" with 37s. You can get pretty close with just a tape measure and some chalk.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will see your answer:

Are you talking about the silver vents on the side used in the Canadian market.

It's been a while but pretty sure I used a portable bandsaw. Cutting wheel or even a hacksaw would also work. I believe I laid out the cut lines with painters tape.

Don't remove the braces, trim them instead. Drill a hole at the corner and then trim/cut up to it. You want a rounded corner to prevent stress cracks from forming. Don't cut the frame or bumper. Here is how I trimmed mine for my power steering.

Have you got it reversed? "This end to pump" is on the steering box side.

Provide some pictures of the steering components you are dealing with so the rest of us can chime in!

Maybe the info in this thread will give you some ideas.

Link should bring you to a page with Coolerman's Electrical Schematics. Don't know what to say as it works for me.

You can find the wiring diagram you need here.

Maybe you want color code 33 which is for Depot White.

Maybe the '73 wiring diagram will help.

Where is your igniter? Have you looked at a wiring diagram? You can find one here if not.

It opens the cowl vent in front of the windshield.

and finely, mounted

here is my current progress - got all the nasty paint off the blower motor and fabbed up a new screen for the intake

What year is your FJ-40? As you mentioned, the ring gear in my '73 FJ-40 has a stud going through the ring gear and flange and is held in place with a nut as in this build.

Might help to know a little more of what it came out of.

Looks like it is decision time, find a PTO winch or remove.

Seems whoever posted the original info has decided to delete it.

you should be in good shape, those used existing rivet holes to be fastened on. remove the bits and line up the holes in the frame and oe brackets and have at it.

There are several kits that are commonly used to do a shackle reversal. Do you know whos' kit was used? If not several photos to show the front and rear spring attachments will help others to identify. From there a plan can be made to reverse...
