    Need help deciding on trans and tranny combo

    Update. I caved to peer pressure and did something I’ve always told myself never to do and changed my mind mid path. After booting up the NV4500 to the Atlas and measuring everything and seeing my clutch options etc I decided on a 700R4! Was a hard decision to make in one regards, I know that...

    Need help deciding on trans and tranny combo

    I went to buy it from AA and then found one that was used and was the exact set up I needed for behind my NV4500.

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    I’m good with the price, especially compared to my original plan of ORI STX struts at $3,400.00 + with all the goodies and about the same for King coil overs with bumps and everything involved. Aftermarket leaf spring companies were pretty comparable to Alcan but almost all were just cookie...

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    No and I didn’t think to ask, but I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem, Bob is about as nice as it gets.

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    Pulled the trigger on the Alcans today. Spoke with a Bob and went over all the details. Military wrap, reverse eye, FJ60 rears on all 4 corners but d4vided against the Orbit Eyes. He turned me away from another $500.00 sale on the eyes stating he’d rather have a happy customer than un unhappy...

    New wiring harness help

    Thanks guys. I’m looking st the EZ kit. Like I said I’m a total novice at wiring and attempting to buy the components separately and wire it up would require an inkling of know how and I ain’t got dat!

    New wiring harness help

    Thanks for the advice. My turn signals, headlights, wipers, and brake lights are the only thing left Toyota but that’s not to say I can’t switch them differently. Yes I’m converting over to the Ididit GM column so I’m going to have to move the ignition to the dash from the column. Which is fine...

    New wiring harness help

    While tearing down my drivetrain and waiting for my springs to be shipped I’ve decided to dive into the absolute rats nest that is my wiring. The PO had more crap spliced and taped and abandoned than you could possibly imagine. Plugs not being used and multiple wires leading to the same device...

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    I contacted Deaver and never heard back. I planned on doing a comp cut out back. No plans at this time to replace the cab. But as most projects go, everything evolves as you make your way through it. Just last night I was working on stuff and came across a rats nest of wires that seem to be the...

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    Hey guys. So Alcan replied back to me after inputting all my information. They asked for more detailed info and what I was trying to accomplish. I told them I wanted to keep the center of gravity as low as possible. Let me k is if anything pops out as a red flag. This is my first foray into...

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    Well the surgery has begun. I may be too old to be crawling under rigs jerking axles out by myself anymore. Plus the amount of seized rusted nuts and bolts completely killed me. This stuff saved my ass big time when I was smar enough to spray it on heavily about and hour or two ahead of time.

    Now that’s a project axle. I’ll check out cruiser outfitters. I think I got my dash inserts from them. Can’t remember fir sure though.

    Johnson - Can I DM you for some specifics?

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    Can you buy these new from a vendor? Or is it something that has to be sourced used. Also I see you have coil over front end? How does your steering work with the coil overs. I’ve seen where someone said that the Saginaw conversion won’t work correctly with a coil over front end. My front axle...

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    74 - this line right describes me to a tee! The list helps me stay goal oriented, otherwise I just start new projects and never finish them. Then I’m in even deeper! Everytime I start one of these old rigs, this is my 5th, I jump in with both feet and work like a dog for about a month. Never...

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    Thank you. I saw your build on here. You’ve been busy and your post showing your “to do’ list scares the s*** out of me! I’m afraid to start one. I tend to get in too deep and then get overwhelmed. I’m hoping that I can source everything needed and then get it swapped in and on the road. Then I...

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    Sorry. It’s a 76 FJ40. Looking st it and measuring everything I’d say just outside the frame rails. Both front and rear have been narrowed 2”. Didn’t want stock width just in case I wasn’t able to keep center of gravity low. My fabricator friend has a very stout set of spring pockets he did on...

    Need help on leaf spring for a SOA

    Finally pulling the trigger on the build. I’ve been collecting parts and recently finalized the TC set up. Here is what I have planned so you have the info and hopefully can steer me in the right direction. I’ve been sourcing parts for well over 2 years now and it’s finally time to get it done...
