Does anyone happen to have the part numbers for Bilstein 5125 shocks to fit the front of an FJ40 with Ford shock towers and OME (two-inch) springs? A search through several threads revealed no specifics. Thanks for any guidance . . .

I'm afraid if I suggested that to Tom he'd have a heart attack.

It's a light for the knobs in the center of the dash.

Winch is sold. Thanks Mark.

Still available for local pickup.

I'd like to sell the PTO winch removed from my 1973 FJ40. It "ran when parked," which was about five years ago. I believe all the parts are there, plus a few spares it seems I had laying around, such as extra PTO gears. However, if you don't see it here, I probably do not have it. It will need...

Yes - you could buy a set of OME rear springs for that - look here. Re-arching rarely works for very long.

Surprised no one has addressed this yet: You should never, ever, ever insert an elastic element into a winch system. Spend the money and replace your steel cable with synthetic, and if you need an extension make that synthetic as well. The additional safety is worth the cost, not to mention the...

I second the Ravelco system. No moving parts to go bad on an extended journey, and virtually impossible to thwart without hours of work. It won't prevent the contents of the vehicle being stolen, but short of running into a thief with a tow truck, you know your vehicle will be there when you...

I thought about tack-welding hubcap tabs on a Chevy rim.

Urk. $1250 for a set of five? Still, it would be stylish . . . Thanks for the link.

What I'd love to find are 16" steel wheels that would take my 255/85/16 BFGs - and that also have clips for stock hubcaps.

I was in touch with Tom recently, and he was working on the last revisions. I expect it will be available soon, and it's nice to be able to get it directly from Desert Winds.

Ah - the flat rings with holes? I don't think I have those, which would explain a lot. Thanks; I'll call them tomorrow.

Everyone, Ages ago I installed a Wilwood disc brake kit from Manafre. It was the old style for which you had to remove the entire hub to install or remove the disc. Several years ago I bought the upgrade kit, with the new style disk that simply pushes on over the wheel studs. However, I just...
