thanks for the reply snagg, I ended up pulling the trigger on the 5100s. I run 33x10.5 km2s and a separate set of 35x12.5s for offroad but for the most part the 40 is a family fun truck so I was mostly wanting less harsh on road at slower speeds around town. I know they will be better than the...
Hello everybody I have read many postings and threads on using the 5100 (5125) on lifted Fj40s bc they are for lifted trucks. I have also heard that the Bilstien 4600 provides a little smoother ride and I like the look better. I know I just need to measure the compressed and fully flexed "eye...
Hello all, I am trying to add a 30amp fuse to the fuse block located on the positive battery terminal. I have a US spec so my 100amp fuse location is empty and I'm adding a 10 ga. wire to am amplified sub for the stereo. I want to know if anyone sells the tab needed for the fuse to make...

I am asking $450 for the set plus shipping. (local pick up desired)
Located in Roanoke VA.

Thanks for that list. What are your thoughts on the poly bushings for the steering rack? Are they too hard (too much vibration in steering wheel) or are they smoother, tighter, and just a good purchase
Hey Keaton, you have a fantastic writeup on your LX. I just picked up a cherry 2000 and am going through base-lining everything and going to do bushings and AHC fluid before getting 285's and sliders. My question for you is: do you have a list of susp bushings you have replaced and where you...
I am needing a new draglink for my sag/ jeep (chevy) drop pitman arm then 17mm Stock early FJ40 TRE on the knuckle side. I thought I had found a unicorn from Cruiser Outfitters bc they have an SAE RHT TRE to FJ40 17mm x1.5 on the other.
The problem is that their "SAE" is for a 11/16"-18...
Matzell, which are your referring to being the same? The j60 and j80 TRE taper size? I would love to get a stock draglink TRE from a j60 and find the weld in bung to make a new Drag link with my SAE Jeep j20 TRE at the Pitman
Looks like Cruiser Outfitters takes the cake! I just need to measure and check out the threads on my Jeep TRE at the pitman arm. It may not be stronger but I can use my 17mm and get on the road safely
Do you know if they have a reamer for the j60 TRE? I still do not know where to find weld end bungs for the 1.25"x.25 tubing. I have the bung for the SAE side. On your Fj40 have you had any issues after reaming to fit the Fj80 TRE?
Thank you both for your help. That is a lot of info and I have been in touch with JT outfitters and they are our of stock for the Draglink. I Really like the thought of a 21m 1.5 (fj40 TRE) at one end and my SAE Jeep TRE at the pitman arm. I will see if that is something that can fit. I...
Thanks, my problem is that i do not want to take on the project and $ of swapping mini or 60 knuckles at the moment. I just want to strengthen my draglink (bc i have a sag with j20 TRE at pitman arm) so i will need to use dom and weld in a bung for the J20 TRE on pitman side and a 17mm x 1.5...
Hello can anyone tell me if a "drag link/ relay rod" 21mm TRE from an FJ60 will fit the taper in the stock FJ40 passenger side TRE hole? Of will a stock 21mm FJ40 TRE taper do the same? I want to beefin up my drag link and get rid of the 17mm TREs for the Drag link.
I understand the drag link...
Hello Everyone, I have some important TRE questions and have no idea who to call (AA, SOR, JT, Ruffstuff)
I have a '70 fj40 (stock axels) with Saginaw ps and i have the '78-'79 Ford bronco drop pitman arm. The only TRE i have found to fit the pitman arm is a '78 bronco with reversed (left?)...
Hey I have the 3 in drop pitman arm from Rough Country i think for my saginaw set up. Does anyone know if that pitman arm is a F250 or (i think) '79 Bronco tie rod? I am looking to beefin up my steering rods and I have bought the "tapered shim" but it didn't fit and I have a little slop in...
Thanks Steve, I just know I want diesel, 4door with non IFS and Left drive. Do you rec any specific Prado for me to look into? I am just not into the 2 door 70's bc i have a resto'd FJ40
Hey I have been looking everywhere for a 5 door Left hand drive 70 series. Pref White but doesn't really matter. I know they exist in the USA just hard to find. Good running cond, low to minimal rust
