Greetings from Portland, Oregon!
This is the 1990 FJ62 with 202k miles that I've owned for the last 2 years. According to carfax, my FJ62 was originally purchased in the Boise area where it spent most of it's life until it finally made its way to Oregon and was eventually sold to me.
I've...
OK, I'm beginning the OME install on a 66' FJ40. It would appear that the OME shackles have somewhat changed recently as they are no longer just triangular in shape for the "anti-inversion" feature.
OME is great, but the directions as we all know completely stink. This 2.5" kit has two...
I am looking to purchase a new old man emu suspension for my 1972 FJ40. I have been on this forum for a while now, and wanted to purchase from a member/vendor on mud.
Do you know which active users are vendors that deal in old man emu? I have purchased from cruiserparts.net in the past and...
Can anyone explain how to fit these steel plates? I'm reading the instructions they gave but it isn't clicking. Two FK10's came as part of the suspension kit for a front solid axle.
While correcting one of the many short-cut modification done by the previous owner, I noticed that the Saginaw power steering box frame placement seems a bit off i.e., top greasable shackle is blocked by the steering box. On my last rig, I installed a mini-truck steering box so my Saginaw...

So my 215k mi 1999 100-series is in the shop for repairs (Help Please - 'Broke' 4-High During Extraction from Snow Bank). So while its in the shop's hands, I want to take the opportunity to address the aging suspension and at the very least, replace the desperately-in-need-of-replacement...
I've got front and rear leaf springs and U-bolts that just came off my 1989 FJ62. They are in good shape. No broken leafs. Truck was all stock and lived most of it's life in Arizona. $100 for everything.
SOLD!
I'm installing an OME heavy on my FJ62. Rust isn't an issue and everything came off ok. Got the leaf spring shackles and pins in and tightened down, but when I use the jack to compress the spring to line up the bottom plate to the U bolts, they are off. I was able to get one side to go through...
I'm installing OME SB30 bushings, leaf springs and shackles on my 1977 FJ40.
The shackle instructions state to "install OME polyurethane bushes (greased) in hanger and spring eyes".
The bushing instructions state to "grease all bush surfaces which are designed to pivot(ie internal bore and...
