    "Last Minute" FJ40 build

    Well, hadn't made it quite as far as I hoped. I had been gathering all the little odds and ends and took a day off from work thinking that I could have a complete axle by last Sunday. Unfortunately (for the FJ anyway) I found something that used up a bunch of my time...we bought our first...

    fuel cell change...

    Woody, I've got the RCI 30x9x12 (top middle tank in the link). I've been happy with it. Since you're replacing the pickups anyway you may want to go ahead and replace all of the pickup line in the tank. My rig sat for a few months and when I began to tear it down for the new build I found...

    "Last Minute" FJ40 build

    Couple more pics of everything cleaned up This should be it for the fab work on the front axle. Only thing left to do will be to fab up a truss/brackets to mount the hydro assist. I probably won't do that till later in the build. I've got about 99% of the parts I need to put this axle...

    "Last Minute" FJ40 build

    Picked up a Marlin knuckle gusset kit. The upper one seems a bit overkill but it also serves as the shock mount. Lower tacked up Upper tacked up All welded up. I left the end of the upper near the knuckle bearing unwelded because it will probably need to be ground some to clear the...

    "Last Minute" FJ40 build

    Finally an update! :D Skid welded in I picked up some ring gear armor. It was made for the 8" pickup axle but with a little massaging fit just right. Butting it up to the skid also smooths out the transition. Guard tacked up I had to make some small filler plates at the corners of the...

    "Last Minute" FJ40 build

    Almost done shaving the front axle. I used the "bucket method" I saw in another build thread to mark the housing.:) With some cleaning up and the old drain plug hole filled. 3/8" plate for the new skid. I don't think I'm gaining a whole lot of clearance, but the skid will be nice...

    Spring hangers done. I'll make some nicer shackles once I get it back on its wheels and figure out how long they need to be.

    "Last Minute" FJ40 build

    Guess I kinda let this thread go by the way-side. My wife gave birth to our first child back in September, so I've been pretty busy.:) Picked up a 9" from a friend. Plans are to narrow it to 57" wms, swap to 4.56 gears, weld or spool, back brace, shave, and some sort of disk brakes. I...

    FJ40 ring and pinion install kit

    I ran the part numbers and as far as I can tell the same bearings are used 58-89 (90 on the front) (w/o diff lock), and should be the same between FJ40 and FJ60. If you're replacing your R&P with an aftermarket gear set they will be fine spline. This kit includes everything you would need...

    "Last Minute" FJ40 build

    I agree, ~106 seems to be the magic number these days. From the start of the chop, I've been looking at 105" wheelbase, though I'm toying with the idea of slightly less since I'll only be running ~35" tires in the beginning. I think I'm probably going to leave the bedsides solid for now, but...

    "Last Minute" FJ40 build

    Got the rear bumper built. I'll leave the ends unfinished until cage time...I'm thinking the rear tubes of the cage will be outside the fenders to protect the tail-lights and will mount to the bumper ends. The holes on either side of the receiver are for hitch pin clearance. I'll put in a...
