    Horrible Ride...

    This... or a variant of it... Then work the springs, flex'm and break'm in!! Otherwise your talkin' new (softer rate) spring pack$$$$ And toss the Pro-Chump shocks! Holy moly! Get some 5100 Billies .. or 5125's or whatever they are now. I swapped out the prochumps for some billies on my mini...

    Build thread: Project rusty 75

    The reason I used spacers on my mini was to match up the track width to the rear (wider later model rear which is 3" wider... hence the 1.5" spacers in front) But I believe my wheels would fit without the spacers. Do some measuring is all I can think of and try to find a compatable wheel.

    Is that a mini-truck brake conversion or stock FJ? Here is a pic of my 85 truck with LC rotors, "V6" calipers and 1.5" spacers. This is a typcial brake upgrade for a mini... And here is a pic of the leftovers that went on the 40.. .SFA disc/mini conver :D

    Hard Half Doors (FAQ)

    Awesome work. Question: How'd you get the lower lip on the outer skin at the bottom... especially around the curved areas?? ... and yeah, I'm replacing that section too. ;)

    My son's '69 40. Before... After... not much different other than it's running, stopping and a little bit cleaner! :cool:

    Rigger's disc brake conversion

    Had the same feeling when I did my mini-truck rear disc and front upgrade conversion. Seemed a little weak at first. Over time they got better and better. I assume the pads and rotors wore in and found their sweet spot. Maybe it's just perception tho... IDK. Can't say that for the kid's 40...

    Rigger's disc brake conversion

    Here are a few links to the items in the Summit catalog. I couldn't find the exact fitting I used in the mount but the one at the bottom is close, minus the AN male end. It's a clean, secure way of mounting the hard line to the flex line.... if you decide to go aftermarket hardware etc... Hope...

    Rigger's disc brake conversion

    Had some old mini parts laying around. Welded a tab to this TEE... Works like a champ You can buy these cool mounts/clips/fittings from Summit pretty durn cheap. Used existing threaded hole locations from the previous single circuit mounting holes. Works well so far.

    Finally!

    I have a 32/36 on a mini truck with no issues (maybe I haven't been on a steep enough incline yet) See this link below. If I ever get to the point of needing more angle of the dangle I'll do this little mod. Note the guy mentions float adjustment first. How to make a Weber climb a hill. -...

    I remember those! Always liked them too... sorry, I'm of no help. Happy hunting....

    Rigger's disc brake conversion

    Good progress I see!! IDK about that small weldment. Looks like it's purpose in life is to keep the U bolts perpendicular to the axle tube since it's close to the diff radius in the housing. ???? maybe someone will chime in....
