Can we revive old threads from 8 years ago?!?
So I picked up this 77 FJ40 while at grad school at Emory. Now did a bit of work on it during med school at Iowa. Then a it basically sat during residency and fellowship in Colorado. Now it's back in Decatur GA, as a start a new job at CDC. Finally able to take a breather and get my next step done. Been riding on the stock suspension so finally pulled the trigger on a new set up.

After a lot of reading about new / old skinnies
