Currently I have 4.25 turns Saginaw box in my 40, and I hate it .. So sloppy and floaty-like. I would like to go with 3.5 turns instead but can't be sure of the correct part number. It should be 4 bolts and 13/16 input shaft size. any help with the correct part number would be appreciated.

I just installed Skyjacker's 4 in lift springs to my '79 FJ40, at first I was using Rancho 5000 shocks and the ride was horrible! .. it was so harsh and stiff! .. at first I thought the springs were very hard for the truck. then I decided to get a set of Bilstien 5100 series shocks instead, and...

2 years a go I had an issue with Skyjacker springs (4 in lift), as one of the front springs was shorter than the other, and since I wasn't a US buyer and it was more than a year between the purchase time and installation, I was sure that no one would help me with that so I bit the bullet and...

UPDATE : I emailed them and Chris from Skyjacker replied to me back and he was super helpful, he sent me a few measurements points to check and reply to him with the dimensions I have, sure enough I had one wrong spring, one of the front springs has the top spring leaf shorter by about 3/4 in...

Thanks a million guys! .. I missed that screw that was hidden under the weatherstripping, all good now, thanks again!

I've been trying to remove the vent window assembly and/or my door glass in my Euro spec FJ40 which has a vent window in the door, I can only see one bolt holding the window channel in the bottom and thats it, I tried removing the glass but it seems I need to remove the vent window assembly...

Finally I have managed to find a new old stock set in Saudi Arabia, I just received them and finally put together the rear end. The problem now is I can't get Nitro to cancel my order and process a refund, I called and emailed twice and my order still show "Processing" in their website!

Thats the exact issue, I have an order for a pair last month and they said I need to wait for at least one more month to get them, and the guy there told me it may take even longer.

I have address in FL, do you have them for sale?

I've been looking for a pair of full float rear axles for FJ60 for months with no success, anyone have a good pair that he want to sell? .. please PM me if you do.

Thank you guys for all the info, that was exactly what I was looking for. I happen to have a universal wilwood manual valve in the shop, I'm gonna install it and start from there. Thanks again!

I just swapped in a FJ80 brake master cyl. and booster into my '79 FJ40 which has the stock front disc and rear drum brakes, but I'm not sure which proportioning valve do I need for this setup. I bought my truck as a project and all the brake components were either missing or rusted to death...

My wiring harness in my '79 is almost non-existed, so I need to find a brand new full harness that can work with the stock Toyota steering column and ignition switch. I see that JT Outfitters has a custom made harness, but I'm not sure if it can work with the FJ40 steering switches. All of the...
