Hi, Do you have the front upper door hinges?

fj40pants, that's certainly what I'm leaning towards...if it doesn't sell that is... maybe I'll be moving this to a build up thread over the winter? cheers

dingo, the tag says Jan 1977 FJ5589918 so just a few months after your other mono-color finds... and after looking closer, every nook and cranny, even on the inside (no roof liner) is all the same color green...only the outside has the additional green over-spray... that's interesting...do...

dingo, that's interesting...ill check my vin/id plate this weekend... i know it's been repainted...there is a lot of over spray in the nooks and crannies...even over what look like decals/stripes... ill double check the mnfr date and get back to you... cheers,

thanks for the input inkpot and davewest... as it is it definitely does help to roll into a turn and take it a bit wider than normal...thanks... i have a similar thread up in fsb (a bronco site) and everyone is pretty sure it's my caster there too... after looking at it, i'm pretty sure it's...

I totally forgot that I have flat towed a 1989 F350 crew cab with a 1989 Bronco and the truck tracked just fine...it was a little sporty pulling all that weight but the difference in wheel base didn't effect how the toed tracked through turns... and since the FJ55 tracks when I tow with a truck...

I think you are right...it should follow the attachment point (ball)... on the slope of the tow bar, I did notice a slight improvement when I flipped the receiver...now the ball is higher than the tow bar mount points on the FJ55...and seems to track slightly better...still not safe though...

Does this make sense?

yeah, i was hoping it would track...but no...weird...and kind of a bummer... and you are right, the pivot point for the steering on the FJ55 is at or slightly behind the trunnion bearing... but im referring to the pivot point of the towing vehicle and how it might be effecting the toed...

thanks inkpot, the steering lock is removed and i can turn the wheel by hand regardless of key position... it could be caster as i can see the leaf springs do have some fatigue/wrap...but the axles are mounted in their original sua configuration...all stock... other than it being hard to...

So I got my ol' landcruiser FJ55 ready to flat tow down to the Toys for Tots trail ride near Rochester MN yesterday, but as I was pulling out it wouldn't track around corners...the front tires wanted to stay straight and even turn the opposite way... I have flat towed this vehicle several...

yeah...maybe not with the doors off... the hood is back on...and if i keep it (if it doesn't sell) i'm going to cut some body panels, roll cage, sliders, soa, and maybe swap for a toy v6, and of course, power steering... its definitely past restoration...at least for me... it does great just...

Runs and is currently registered still in stock condition i bought it in nashville a few years ago...moved up here to mpls...and havent taken it out even once as it sits the fenders and doors are off...the interior is mostly gutted...but i have all the stock parts in the garage needs some...
