It seems there are two main body mount manufacturers for the FJ40:
Energy Suspension and Daystar
What are the differences (besides price)?
Pros and cons?
Recommendations for one over the other?
Thanks
:cheers:
I know this is a long shot...

Does anyone have a source for the OEM type two-wire hose clamps (preferably in stainless)?
I found a manufacturer in India, but they have a 2000 piece minimum - which, I think, is just a tad more than necessary for my resto.
Any help would be appreciated!

Just finished rebulding my front and rear axle - added oil and found that my rear pinion oil seal was leaking. Wasn't leaking before, but that was probably due to low oil level and/or drying out while it was apart and without oil.
Not a big deal to replace, but it sure would have been easier...
Front Hub Oil Seal Question
Which way does the oil seal at the inner wheel bearing face? Does the metal side or the rubber side face the bearing?
Can't find an adequate discription in the FAQ's, FSM or Hayes.
So I got the steering arm and bearing cap off and, suprise suprise, no shims! They were there once because I can still see the impression on the arm and cap. Also, movement of the knucke was very tight before and the steering bearings grooved the outer bearing races (which I now have to...
I'v got the nuts off the steering arm studs and split the cone washers with a screwdriver, but the washers won't come out and the steering arm doesn't budge.
Is there something I'm missing?
The FSM shows the steering arm being removed with a SST (which I don't have). Is there something else...
'78 FJ40 just starting disk brake conversion.....
I just took the Warn cover off my hub and was awash in gear oil running out of the hub. I'm guessing this is bad (hopefully, not realllllly bad!).
Am I looking at a complete knuckle rebuild?
What is the best way to mask-off the caliper pistons when painting? Nothing seems to want to stick to the rubber seal around the piston. I suppose I could brush everything, but it's so much easier to spray. Any ideas?
Does anyone know of a galvainzing/plating company in Northern California for dipping a FJ40 frame? There's a plater in Sacramento, but all they do is production work (plus their tank is only 11'). Already did a forum search, but all I found were companies back east. Looking for something a...
Does anyone have a machine shop recommendation for an engine rebuild in the Northern California (preferrably greater Sacramento, Foothills area)? I've found lots of shops that do rebuilds - but not on 2F's.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Has anyone ever seen one of these switches? It's a switch to bypass the truck's rear turn signals and use only the trailer's turn signal lights - presumably to ease the load on a standard flasher.
Thanks
