So, I have been informed that the time has come to get rid of “that truck in the driveway,” Old Blue, a 1977 fj40. To be fair, I bought the 40 almost a year ago with intentions of getting it running/drivable, swap some parts with my 79, and to tinker, most all of which did not get done. Life...

Reviving an old thread, I know, but I am in the same spot with my Cruiser and the 4" HFS setup. Curious if you did in fact remove a leaf and what the outcome was?
