Just about to start a rebuild on the rear axle (1980) & would like to go disks while it's out. Let me know when you get something ready.

Nice looking 80. Sent you a pm whenever you get the chance to read.

Yep, my son has that on his list of things to do. Thanks!

I've got a tub from my 1980 FJ40 that I'm looking to get rid of since I've purchased another full tub. The front cowl section is solid with only surface rust, but would need a 3/4 tub to make it a complete. I'm located in the Austin, Texas area if anyone is interested, but don't want to deal...

Sorry, wrong forum

I have a 1980 that has the body off the frame & needs a 3/4 tub to fix rust issues. Most of it has been disassembled & now my wife wants to move so I'll be losing my shop come springtime. Trying to decide if it's worth hanging onto until I can get it all put back together or go ahead & sell it...

Sent you a PM

It looks great!

What lift did you put on it?

You must have a good boss to let you have that clean 40 he picked up in Arizona. Either that or he has too many projects & needs to get focused on the 1980 model he's working on:) Looking forward to seeing your work.

Love the knobs!! I'd love a set for my 1980. Let me know when you get a price worked up.

Anyone have any insight?

Does anyone have any experience with Proffitt's Old Man Emu lift kits with the shackle reversal? They show them as a 3" lift. Are these the 2.5" OME lift plus extended shackle to get to the 3"? Are there any downside to a shackle reversal? Thanks
