Cummins B3.3T RTWCruising -- did you ever find a source for the B3.3T? I am also looking for one that I would put in my 77 FJ40.

Mark, Thanks for the advise -- as soon as I figure out how to post a photo you will see that it level when empty. I also have a 22 gal fuel tank and two 12 gal water tanks in the rear. Steve

Rear of the Cruiser with 2 - 12 gal water tanks -- 22 gal fuel tank underneath -- This plus camping gear causes the sag.

Having problems posting pictures -- will figure it out and repost.

I have twin 12 gal water tanks and a 22 gal reserve tank in the back, this is the reason that I get a sag in the rear. This shot is of the side and it is not loaded. Engine shot -- the front end is pretty light with the 350 -- I have the batteries behind the seats.

PSRENO -- I have taken pictures of my FJ40 to show the normal ride height and darn!!! I have not been able to locate the interface cable for the camera. It will show up shortly. Adding a leaf to the OME springs looks to be fairly simple, the Air bags are interesting though, a bit more involved...

psreno -- what type of adjustable shocks are you using -- are they adjustable on the shock or with a remote device?

I just unloaded it from a trip to the Moab area -- I will post a picture of it soon unloaded and the next time I load it up I will be sure to take a picture. Steve

I have a 1977 FJ40 (350 with 33" tires) with Old Man Emu Dakar 2 1/2 inch lift leaf springs on the front and rear. When I am fully loaded for camping the rear sags down more than I would like. Without going to a heavy duty rough riding spring set, does anyone have any ideas on a spring that...

I was late on my renewal in 2009, I missed a few issues. Can you tell me which issue of Toyota Trails had the Roof Top Tents evaluation? I would like to order that issue. Thanks, Steve Sency stevefsency@gmail.com

Is there a FJ40 classfied forum? I posted a thread to a classified forum the other day and I am not able to find the forum again -- the only one that I can find is the general classified forum that looks like one that business use. My post was for a passenger side door for a 1700 FJ40. I...

I am looking to buy a passenger side door FJ40 1977 -- I actually need the shell but I would buy the whole door if necessary. Steve

Rear Axel Seal Groove Pete, thanks for the info I called SOR and they do not have a Speedy Sleeve that will fit. I will keep looking - I am sure that I have heard of one that fits. Used axel is $120 for each side SOR price. Steve

Hello all, I have replaced the rear axel oil seals on my 77 FJ40 and they continue to leak onto the brakes. I noticed a slight groove in the axel shafts where the seal rides. Does anyone know of a sleeve kit that is available to slip over the axel to restore the surface so that the seal will not...
