    Haha! touché. Good shocks sounds like what i need. P.O. had a set of 5-6" lift Rancho shocks, not sure how old they are. I'll look around the forums to see if i can find a better option for my situation. Most likely Bilsteins. Thanks guys

    Would anyone here recommend a sway bar if your lift (4-6") and large tires (35") are causing some body roll in tight corners at speed?

    Please show me your 35 tires...

    Prior to restoration. May stay with 35s because they are very comfortable on road and capable off-road! If I go with 33s I'll drop the lift by 2". Should still allow for good articulation of the axles. Let me know what you think! I can share a link to a video driving around if that helps you decide.

    Congratulations! We hope to be blessed with that many years together. Looks like it's just the angle of the tire & lighting. :) It's going to be painted heath grey. Can't wait to drive it again. Nothing like a 40.

    more excellent info! I'm so glad I posted. I'll try and get in contact with the dealer over there. Sounds like a great conversation at the very least. I didn't know copper state cruisers was in AZ. Thx again for all the info!

    Long story short: Purchased the FJ40 over a year ago. I'm 22 and have invested 1500 hours, and 15k+ in brand new oem parts, restoration tools, etc... Took it apart after driving it twice thinking i could restore it quickly. Took longer than expected. Was working on it outside my parent's house...

    Hi, I'm looking for a pair of short jump seats with good bones. Condition of the vinyl is not important. I really appreciate any feedback. If you know someone who might have a pair. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
