Well I need to get back into my land cruiser. It has been sitting in the garage for far to long. I was the president of Cascade Cruisers in 2004 or 3 not sure which. We are going to try and get the Cruiser ship shape for Cruisin The Woods. Hope to see you all there.
Well I'm about half way thru my construction of my rock buggy, and I need to make a decision on coilovers. Fox, Sway-away, or ?? Anyone with customer service issues? If I need to swap out a coil for a different rate, will they do it free??

Ok here's the skinny. My front driveline is fine under normal circumstaces, but with the SOA installed 6 months ago, I'm getting some serious flex out of the front. Which isen't bad, but now my universal at my 3 speed transfer case is making some obvious knocking noise in super flex mode...
Has anyone had any luck adapting a Black Diamond coil suspension, built for a YJ (or TJ, I get them mixed up), to a Landcruiser FJ-40? I think it could be done with some modifications to the kit. Give me some input.
