Where can I get one of these FSM's for my 40?

I like that iron pig bumper. I looked around at a few and for the money the JT had what I wanted. I wanted to center my rear tire and have a strong place to mount my spare. I paid $500 no tax no shipping, so I don't think I got that bad of a deal. Not owning a welder, it would have cost me close...

I have that bumper/tire carrier and so far so good. It works great and I have had no porblems with it. I also have a Weber I bought from JT. Please elaborate on why you guys don't do business with JT. I don't want to do business with them if they are not honest and reliable. How about Man-A-Fre...

Anyone know of a qualified shop to perform a SOA on my 10/79 FJ40? I'm looking for something around the Houston area possibly, but willing to travel.

I'm down for some Emitt Smith's on a cruiser, as long as they have spinners.

They look sweet. Do they line up in the back with the tub lines? That's what I would like to do someday to mine. You did a bang up job on those.

The rocker cover vent goes to the air cleaner assy, but you can install a breather filter there also. Not sure about the engine hose.

I'm running BDG's 33x12X15's MT's. Rims are M/T classic locks with 3-5/8" backspacing. The tires are hitting the inner lip of the front fenders and pulling the lip down each time it hits. When they hit it makes an awfull noise and I back off the throttle to lessen the damage, but I'm sure it...

What are my choices for a reversal? The Downey kit looks nice but it's not cheap.

I ran into a similar problem with my battery. My red top was gassing acid and I had a rebuilt alternator, new voltage regulator, and the battery was fairly new. I took it by the shop that did the rebuild and they tested it. It was running perfect at ~14 when running at 1500 RPM. He noticed that...

Looking for suggestions: My front tires are rubbing on the front fender when I hit angles or larger holes when wheeling. I have 33's with 2.5" OME lift. The shackles that came with the kit are 3.5" bolt to bolt, and I tried out some 5" bolt to bolt shackles thie weekend. It was still hitting...

Thanks Pablo for the compliment. It's kind of hard to see in the pic, but the wheel wells were cut for flares, and it looks off center. It does not rub, but if I can gain wheel base and looks with a spring flip and DS extension, then I will do it. What did you gain in wheel base? 2"s?

You say the stock rear DS is 24" flange to flange, and you need it to be 26". I was wondering if there is another cruiser, maybe a 60 or 80 that has this length, or will you be cutting and adding 2"'s or lenght to your stock rear DS. I guess I needed to say DS instead of axle. Doh! Thanks, and I...

flipped rear Do you plan to extend the stock axle, or will one from some other rig work? I need to do this to my 40 bad.
