It will be a SOA and I have all the spring brackets to do the outboard in the front. I have been thinking about doing coil overs or struts in the front, but I don't have the brackets or much info on doing that. I was think I could get motor/trans/transfer setup for the original axles and then...

I plan to start on my fj55 this winter. I will be changing out the axles to 60s and doing a v8 transplant. My question is which one should I do first the axles or the motor? Thanks,

The inner gears and snap rings are boogered also... if I can't find or if the ones I have don't work I will get back with you. Thanks!

So I got the truck out and flexed the suspension everything seems to work good no binding, but I didn't have the shocks on yet. The measurements that I got off u tube said to mount the front hanger at 9 1/4" forward and the rear 4" off the rear of the frame. The tire is sitting about an 1-2" off...

The two I have are from an 80 or 83. So they should work...just got to find them. Thanks for the info.

I also need a new locking hub. Will a hub from an fj40 work on a 85 pickup axle? I have a set just need to dig them out.

I am in the process of doing a SAS with a 85 axel and TG 3" kit on the front. The rear is receiving Chevy 63" springs. I have everything tacked into place and I'm not sure about the shackle angles or the upper shock Mt placement . My rear shackles are set at 18degs. Is this enough or should I...

Have you started on the SAS and what kind of lift are you doing in the rear?

The frame is tweaked, found where it had been fixed when I was cutting off the IFS. I had a professional look at it and it's within Toyota specs.

I got my front axle from a 85. It still has a trans, transfer and rear axle..would any of it be worth keeping?

I will look a little closer..I just assumed that the winch did it .

I am in the process of installing a Trail Gear 3" IFS eliminator. The truck had a warn winch mount and apparently the previous owner pulled on the right side pretty hard. The frame at the front crossmember on the left side is up a little. Does anyone think that this small amount will effect the...

I bought an 85 single cab yesterday...body is Shot and it doesn't have a motor. I plan to scrap the body and frame, I will sell the rear axle, Trans and transfer. Keep the front axle for the 95 I have a set of 35" BFGs all I need is the TG IFS eliminator kit. Any takers on the listed parts...

Got it in the shop for a tune up, power steering pump and idler arm replacement. Should help it for a little while... I think the SAS will wait a Cheap lift and tires are on the list for now.
