Okay - so this is not a build thread per say, but more of a list of what I have done to our FJ60 and an open place for you - the esteemed members of ih8MUD to tell me what I missed and what else I need to do! Here is a copy paste off of my website of what I have done so far. Should you want to...
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...
Found this 2000 LC100 w/Ironman foam cell shocks front and rear and OME 865 rear coils that were put 2 months ago. When the owner bough it, the odo was showing 75K. Now it is at 85K but carfax says odo is saying it is off and supposed to be at 283K. That said, the owner (4th owner according to...

I used this site a lot when I was deciding what to do and how to do it to my GX470 so I figured I’d share my experience with everyone to make it easier for the next person. Thanks for all the folks that posted before! It helped a ton.

I noticed from the get-go that my FJ62 sits higher than stock, but the PO did not mention any sort of lift being on the truck. I haven't quite had it for a month, so I am still working out what is normal/factory for these vehicles.
Anyway, after looking at my suspension, it appears to be an...
I'm getting close to my wits end here and I need the bright lights of the forum to steer me true. AND- before you ask, yes, I have called/emailed Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters. They only deal in OME stuff now so can't really help beyond advice, which was of course very helpful.
I have an '84 FJ60...
So, I got a screamin' deal on some barely used front leafs, and I'd like to piece together the rest of a lift for as cheap as possible without any serious, rig/life-threatening drawbacks.
Here's what I'm assuming is basically mandatory:
- Front/rear springs (duh)
- 24 bushings
- Front/rear...

Hello everyone, and welcome to my story!
I've been fascinated by the 80 Series Toyota Land Cruiser since my neighbor got a shiny new one back in 1995. (It was a soccer mom grocery getter and I suspect it never saw a dirt road.. Haha!) Over the years I have occasionally looked for a nice used...
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...

I have a pair of TJM XGS L Golds for sale, less than 5,000 miles on them. These are the long travel models, 26.5" Extended 15.5" Collapsed so comparable to OME Longs. I bought these to replace a pair of short travel OMEs and they seemed to ride just as well if not better than the OMEs. Part#...
