Nice looking top! Where from? Looking for someone that can make one with a few features my current (worn) top has but the SOR/TROA tops do not.

I run flipped springs and 37’s/38’s. There is no way to get a pipe out between the tire and spring. This setup, with a catalytic converter has no exhaust smell with the top off. Only thing I can figure is that the tire creates enough turbulence that the exhaust doesn’t get “pulled” back into the...

Since I am sprung under, the next question I need to answer is whether my 17" rims with 3.75" backspacing will clear the 1-ton TRE's I use on standard steering arms without wheel spacers

Just ordered! Hopefully this is the ticket. I'd forgotten about the IFS hub option, but this solves only part of the problem as I am trying to get the tire closer to the turn radius for better handling. Wheel spacers themselves don't really bother me.

I'd like to ditch wheel spacers in the front on my FJ40 and I need to replace my front axle housing anyway (trashed inner seal surface from too many broken birfs) I'd rather not outboard the front springs, has anyone done this by notching the passenger side leaf spring into the axle housing?

I live in Atlanta, north end of the city, but actually in the city.

It would be a lot of work @clrussell @cims1970fj40 I actually used my log splitter as a press to bend the b pillar and then welded off the truck after test fitting

might have ended up being a little more than 5/8" but that is what I was aiming for.

I bent mine with the tube inside the b pillar. I ended up taking 2.5-3" out of the horizontal part of the bow

@4xFletch came and got them today so marking sold! Sorry @Tennessee80 this 40 was my first car, got it when I was 15 so it's not going anywhere!!

Bought several sizes to test and didn't use this size. 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern. New in box $150 - this is $155 off the price direct from Fifteen52

Happy to sell rims alone or with the tires. If you want just the rims I'll keep the tires for my crossfit friends. The rims use standard lug nuts. $200 obo for 4 with or without the tires.

Once I got married and no longer had roommates to help me, I quickly stopped asking my wife to help bleed brakes and bought one of these (air powered vacuum bleeder). Last master cylinder I installed (80 series non ABS in my FJ40 when I went to 4 wheel disc) I did not bench bleed. No problems.

with 4" skyjacker springs, I run stock length on front and 2" longer shackles on rear to make up for 4 Plus dual carrier swingout.

That's funny you have on of @HENDOG 's old 40's. First time I went to Tellico (I was 16) I was lost (before GPS) and Hendog and some other guys passed me on the way and showed me the rest of the way in. This was ~2004. Small world
