1973 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 Trade? Time to let somebody else enjoy the 40. Looking to trade for 80 series or luxury/sport car. Build thread is in my Sig. Let me know if you have any questions.

Check out the tech links at the top of the page. There is an electrical section with 60s wiring and a 71 wiring.

35x12.50R15 Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs, 15x8 Mickey Thompson Classic II with 3 and something backspace (3.36", I think). Suspension is spring over axle with a few leaves removed and stock length shackles. Drives great. SOA may seem inexpensive at first but there is alot involved, mainly steering...

I've still got the stocker from my 09/72 3 speed 40. Let me know if it will work for you.

I'm running a 4.3 V6 /4L60E /NP205 combo pushed foward as far as possible. I have enough room to mount my battery behind the motor and only 3/8" clearance at the electric fan. Both shafts are nice and long, though.

I got one of the aluminum 40 radiators from Ebay for around $200 shipped. It was a bit thicker than stock and took a bit of clearancing in the radiator support, but the truck doesn't get over 185* with a 4.3 vortec. It ran about 200*ish with the stock radiator.

Steering column out of a 60/62? I did that mod in mine but it does not stick out that far at all. Your seat frame is similar to mine also, I just didn't have a tank to deal with. Looks good. Keep it up. :beer:

Check my build thread, last couple pages. i PUT IN Corbeaus and built the pass side to tilt foward. I used 2 bearclaw latches rated at 500# each. Not too hard to do. PM me if you have any ?s.

I had a glass shop actually cut me a new windshield, they used a universal seal cut from a roll. It should work for ya. Try any automotive glass shop.

I've got a 4.3/4L60E combo pushing 35s w/ 4.10s and have no problems at all. The 4.56s should work well, especially behind a v8.

Awww...come-on. My GPS had me at 88mph the other night. At 89 it got a little scary so I backed out but until then it it wasn't that bad.

I picked up a set of 5 1/4" lo-profile marine speakers. They fit very nicely in the "pocket" on either side of the barn door inside the tub. I just used 3 small self tappers each and screwed them right in. Cant really tell they are there and sound good. I'd post a pic but I have none right now.

Wow, that's killer. Thanks. Means alot. Maybe a migration out west is in order! :grinpimp: Diff clears just fine. I've had it teetering on DS rear and PS front and it just clears. I'm thinking about trading the 40. I like building them waaay to much. I think if I could get 2...

Thats not a fun circuit to play with, BEWARE. BEEEEWAAARRE!!
