1962 FJ40 Lifted Complete (1 Viewer)

[1962fj40]

Just got my FJ 4" lift done awhile ago and thought I'd post some pics. Went with an Rough Country 4" Lift. I managed to find a place that had 2017 prices still posted so I got the kit for $565. I did a Saginaw power steering upgrade a few years ago so I had to loose the Center Arm, so down the road, I will find a decent steering stabilizer.

Does this lift make my tires look small? No, honey your tires are perfect.

Tires and wheels!

Nice cruiser. Looks like their is something wrong with the rear leaf springs. The shackle angle isn't supposed to be like that on the rear.

Yeah, I'm hoping that it just needs broke in a bit. Haven't driven it much yet.

Those dog bones are going to die. They allow less than 4” of real world articulation and are attached to springs designed to have over 12” of articulation. They have become the suspension limiters.

Was that lower rear window factory?

Was that lower rear window factory?

I don't think so, as I've never seen another one like mine. It was there when I bought it years ago.

The early FJ40's with the corrugated top are on the top of my desired list, and your's looks super clean. Is the inside just as nice as the outside? I guess that's my way of asking for pics because I'm super jealous right now..........damn. Yes, I will let you sell it to me.

I haven't taken many inside pics recently. Most are a few years old during painting and print body parts back together. This started as an by ugly green FJ.

Boy oh boy, that is super awesome! They are never ugly, no matter how far gone they are when you find em'. Lucky you for getting your hands on it and reviving it. So, we have not yet talked about how much you were going to sell it to me for......

 

[1962fj40]

But wait there's more. Electronic Ignition, Saginaw power steering, Sm420 tranny, 50,000 miles on original F engine.

This is true. And we will continue to not talk about it...

Dog bones?

 

[Advrider639]

The style of shackles you are using. You probably should look into larger ones to accommodate the increase in articulation.
