I can find enough of the factory paid t to know it was one of the two. And I have looked at the color charts but they...

    Can I swap rear spring hangers side to side?

    My rear shackles are almost straight up and down. I would like to get them close to 45 degrees to improve the ride. I don't plan on seeing pavement with it. If the rear axle moved back an inch or two that would be great. I can't go too far because I would like to keep my auxiliary gas tank...

    Wanted  front bench seats - mt, az, or fl FJ45 or 40

    Ideally a set of front bench seats for an FJ45, but I will make 40 seats work. Around Phoenix, AZ. Or Bozeman, MT. Or Sarasota, FL. I can find them elsewhere but shipping is so damn expensive. Thanks

    would these work as fake split rims?

    http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WVI-12-670604/ Seem like a reasonable facsimile of a split rim, but 7" wide so would work well with modern tires size. Anybody ever run these, or something similiar?

    mc/booster for 4 wheel disk brakes

    Ok, I will start with apologies. Or an excuse, I guess. I have looked at a bunch of different disc brake swap threads but can't seem to find a definitive answer. I am sure that if I kept at it I could probably find my answer on my own. but I am counting on the kindness and understanding of...
