I have the front and rear kits. I guess I will have to so how it goes. I don't plan too much on off roading her (strong arm steering would be a PITA). Thanks

Sorry Mark, Not much of an Update on this 40. I think I picked to many things to fix at once (new harness, axle rebuild, lift, body panels, etc...) I just got burnt out last year. Then of course work kicked in when Spring came around. Anyways, should the shock be mounted to the pin on the...

I didn't know this thread was brought back to life. I guess since I bought my 80 this year, the 40 build has taken the back shelf. All the shock mounts are stock, so I don't have a higher one. I need to get back in the garage soon and work on the 40.

Much easier now. I think this looks better and it all went in easily. Now Blue has thinking about using the shock pin on the axle. I can see where it will keep it out of the way better, but it will look like a tight fit (post #10). Does the later axle have more space? Mine is a '71. Rudy

Does anyone know the torque specs for these ubolts? Thanks, Rudy

Now I know what not to do! I guess my logical idea was to put the ubolts on like normal. After looking at the pictures and talking to Steve from MAF I can see what I did wrong. Kinda feel like a dumbass now. When I get off work I need get back in the garage and switch the plates. Thanks for...

Thanks eleblanc, Just a little confused. I guess the shocks on the rear need to be inverted? I put them on like I noramally see them. (yes my first bigger job on a truck). Ironic that i printed your pic on the ramp the other day to make sure I had the shackles right! Thanks for the pics...

My kit came in this weekend, but it did not come with instructions. I put it together but had difficultly with the shocks mounting. Does anyone have pics I could look at. Thanks, Rudy

Thanks Dan, Thats the way I started just wanted some reassurance before I did the others. Rudy

Thanks ghost, That would help. Rudy

I don't know if I would call it big bucks but they are closed over the weekend and I was looking for some info to see if anyone knew about these springs because they don't come with instructions and I want to get something done this weekend. I put the longer springs on the front with no load on...

I bought this MAF Safari lift a few months back and I and finally have some time this weekend to work on it. MAF did not specify as to which spring is the front or rear. Does anyone have any clue?

I have three of those Marlin seals here. Heard great response for them (Plus they really great for shipping things out). After reading '73Guppie's thread and the one by morgan, I was not sure if would be a big problem. Thanks for the advice guys.

I am rebuilding a '76 axle for my 40 off a pig. My neighbor a mechanic of 30 plus years told me this groove in the Knuckle would leak. Should I keep going with this second guess? I just don't want to put it back together and have problems in the near future. I bought a rebuild kit from CCOT...

I am to wiring with Painless 90 Weight: you do have some good advice to label eveything and shrink wrap. I put everything in about five years ago, but lost the intersest and now have it back again. Took the harness out out laid it out in my living room and drew a diagram. I have put it back...

Hi guys, I posted a few weeks ago about info for a suspension kit. I was suggested the HFS kit but I would still have to get the shackles, pins etc. MAF sells the Safari Kit with just about everything. Anybody know about that kit?

I have the original pto winch on my '71 FJ40. Can take pics tomorrow if that helps.

Looked at those, is the money worth it? I still have other stuff to fix on the FJ. Found one site who said the Skyjackers is worth the money. I still plan on taking out the front axle from a '76 FJ55 I have for the disc brake. The rest, not sure anybody need parts?

I am looking at the Pinniacle kit from JT Outfitters, been looking at quit a few any other suggestions?

Not anything to extreme just some moderate stuff to start. Would like to put 33's on the rig.
