Not for nothin but who cares about articulation on a tie rod ? I like Barnes & Ruff Stuff, I also like Parts Mike for this type of stuff. Good service & fast. -

as long as the oe is working, there is no need to replace it. there really is no up grading them, despite what flashy ad men might have to say.

No need for the ballast resistor on the Pertronix kit. It runs on full battery voltage. On a stock points set up the initial start is at 12v through the starter soliniod. Once it is running the ballast resistor drops the voltage to a lower...

pbgbottle replied to the thread From OME to Dobinson with questions that weren't answered in either a Google search or the search function. or Ironman FCP.You can move the axle back by drilling a new hole in the spring saddle and just move the the axle back dropping the cantering pin into the new hole. , but check your drive shaft can handle the extra length of moving axle back an inch or so

pbgbottle replied to the thread FJ40 Drivetrain Options/ Final Drive Ratio For 37s?.I am happy with my 37 or 38.5 swampers with SM465 and 4.11 gears and still using the early 3spd t-case goes fine on the highway works good off-road with stock width 40 axles. SOA ,I’m happy only thing I would change would be to swap in an Orion...

Yes, my 40 is SOA with OME 'de-tuned' leaf springs with Bilstein shocks. Absolutely love the way it rides/drives.
-
pbgbottle replied to the thread Is it supposed to be so rough?.That might work. I had done that in the past and as the springs relaxed over the years I ended up adding a leaf back into the spring pack.. It’s worth a try to see if they get softer For sure. It may not drop much in height at all At first.either...
-
Sorry. Typo. I meant leaf springs. Your shackle need more angle so when the springs are compressed they can swing. If straight all of that force goes straight into the frame. Like below
-
pbgbottle replied to the thread Is it supposed to be so rough?.I don’t need to see the whole spring you can tell by looking at them and the arc or arch built into them. The only a lift spring achieves its desired lift is to beef them up or stiffen them up IE increase load varying capacity. The more lift...
-
pbgbottle replied to the thread Is it supposed to be so rough?.Those lift springs always look brutally stiff to me. the stock springs are a pretty nice ride. I always prefer to do a SOA lift. It can be done fairly easy and still keep the rig low with very little modification this was my buddys $500 dollar...

I never noticed the...

pbgbottle replied to the thread 1970 FJ40 Axle Questions.Easiest is a later year axle or just upgrade the knuckles out from a Toyota mini truck or 4Runner or from any later year 40 series 60 series 70 series , and for birfs maybe look for some chromoly ones.

pbgbottle replied to the thread Driving 330 miles in my FJ40 - talk me off the cliff.I drive mine anywhere I drove from Vancouver BC Canada to Pismo Beach California ripped around the dunes and then drove it back home. Approximately 2300 miles go for it. It will be a blast ..
