Before I had a chance to mess with the lift my water pump went out. It wont turn and is locked up. We checked belt tension and it's fine. It's making a weird whistling noise and will not start up. Any suggestions? Also how hard would it be to put a new one on and how much will it cost? Thanks...

I am getting ready to tackle my second lift on my 1985 FJ60. It's a 4+ Plus two inch body lift and I have no idea where/how it goes on. I ordered it from Man-a-fre and it came with no instructions. I also was wondering why it came with 12 spacers and bolts. Seems like a weird number for a lift...

Well I've found a kit custom SOA kit made by proffitts cruisers out of Delta, Colorado. Think that'd be a better starting point then have to order and fabricate the parts necessary? Heres the site: http://www.proffittscruisers.com/suspension/soa.html

does anyone know of a company that makes a good inexpensive SOA kit with everything that i need for a successful SOA conversion

I dont have a pic but it's a pewter colored 60 with a 2.5 inch shackle lift sitting on 33x12.50 mud kings. I got black bullet hole wheels on it and hella 500's on the front. It's still a pretty stock looking rig on the outside. Little bit of rust on the back right quarter panel. I havent seen...

What your cruiser look like Kaderbak? I might have seen you around town. I'm from more towards the leicester area but I get out quite often and am always on the lookout for a new cruiser.

Appreciate the tips guys! How far is Oak Ridge from Asheville?

Any info on places to wheel in Western North Carolina? If it aint state park down here its private property and I'm dyin to test out my new MUD KINGS!

I have a 1985 FJ 60. I already have it up 2.5 inches and am wanting to go with an SOA lift. I only need the bear minimum to just keep it rolling. Comfort is no matter because it's a secondary vehicle. I need to know what I NEED not what would be best to have. What parts are a must have for a...

All I'm saying is that I am happy as all with everything the cruiser has brought to me but I would still like to get her purring. And dont worry I have embarassed almost every mudslingin truck I know off around my parts. " THE CHICKS ALL LOVE US AND THE MUD CAN'T TOUCH US"

This might be not be the best place to post this question, but on the subject of emissions and exhaust. I can't get mine loud enough. You might think me a redneck but I'm used to my old chevy bigblock with dual pipes running straight out of the motor. Now that I've discovered the Landcruiser for...

Good call brett. Hopefully a little love from two more inches will have me rolling level!

I just put on the 2.5 inch HFS greasable shackle lift. The front turned out great but the rear sags and almost rubs the tire. any advice on how to level it out (WITHOUT BUSTING THE WALLET)

I've had two Smog pumps go on me and they caused the same things to happen. After almost 1500 dollars in part and mechanic bills I just bought a longer belt and bypassed the pump altogether. It may not be regulation but it runs great and passes inspection in NC!
