Just a ?, on the hiegth adjustment, why not order taller springs ?

I was planning on it. Did a lot of research, Wanted to get dobinson. The only reason I didn’t do it is that the springs r rated for fj80 body not 40. Wasn’t sure how much lift I would get with stock replacements . Also I would think that heavier stock replacements spring will ride much harder than original.

Build a quick airbox to keep the exhaust heat away from intake. Will probably build a more enclosed one this winter

Took the Landcruiser to Coal mine cruiser classic in PA this Summer. It did awesome.

@plfj40 what a great build! I should have came out to Coal Miner to see it in person. Also you are either a master of organisation or really good at hiding the mess lol your garage looks great. Mine would look like a tornado came through it if i was doing a project like that lol
