Im researching soft tops for my 40, i was surprised to see that bestop only have 1 color for their tops; black.
I've also seen other tops that look just like the best top soft tops but in Beige or gray. anyone knows which tops these are? i have a navy blue colored 40, so black is not my first...
anyone running an Edelbrock Carburetor on their FJ40, with a stock engine v6, 4.2l? if so can i get some feedback?
If so, which Edelbrock carbs fit in place?
I am confused, should i stick with Aisin? or go Edelbrock, for that matter would an Edelbrock give a better performance / power?
I...
Value all the opinions i can get...
how would switching differential ratios from 4.11 to 4.56 affect the drive of my truck in case i want to leave everything else on my truck as it is:
I have a stock 2F engine, 33 inch tires and a 4 speed tranny.
thanks
After my visit to Jordan, it was obvious that i needed additional power. I have all the torque i need on my cruiser (that's what they're known for), but i needed power and speed.
I definitly do NOT wanna swap my 2f engine for a v8
here are a few ideas that crossed my mind and was wondering if...
On thursday 02 october 2008, we set out for jordan on a trip to tackle sand dunes. as we are accustomed to snow, we were desperate to test our trucks on sand... will be updating the pictures later on...
I am looking to purchase a soft top for my 40. How can i get one noting that i live in Beirut - Lebanon. And how much would it be??
the picture is a reference for what i want.

I had enough of the rough ride, i went ahead last week and fixed the issue. i inverted the shackle angles towards the outside. made all the difference in the world. i really have to give credit to the folks who helped and posted comments on my shackle angles in a previous thread i created.

we set out to cross a trail from an area called Shabrouh, in the mountains of lebanon, some 2000 meters above sea level.
the trail went up the mountain, up to 2400 meters and then back down down to the Kartaba river, through swamps, rocky roads, some leftover snow and...

a small inquiry:
i have installed gas shock absorbers on my 83 fj40. would a switch to oil shock absorbers provide me with better / less bumpy ride?
i have 33.5 x 12.5 inch tires and a 4" sua lift.
Yesterday i took my differentials apart coz i was having difficulties with my 4low gear, it was slipping out of gears whenever i pushed the FJ too hard, and the traction of the FJ, whenever i was on 4 wheel drive was off.
I found out something really weird that mathematically couldn't be...

lately i've been thinkin of switching my whole suspension system from leaf springs to coil springs.
the reason? well as you might know, i live in lebanon, and to be frank, the roads suck. not just suck... going offroad on the roughest road would be a walk in the park to our lame, unmaintained...
Recently, and following a reply i posted bout SUA and benefits, i've been "massacred", "shut down", "bashed" by fellow mates on the site sayin that SOA is smoother than SUA and that it "runs like a cadillac" although we all know no cruiser is smooth ride material.
so i figured, even though...
hey all.
my cruiser always has side effects, when i hit the brakes, it turns to the right. i don't know how to explain it further. the only thing is that my friend had the same problem too. does anyone have that problem too? and if you fixed it, how did you.
thanks
