I wanted to show you guys my first 40 and thanks to this site I too am totaly hooked with having to log on each day and read all of the threads. I hope I can pay back some of you guys that go out of your way to show others how to do some of the stuff. This is the coolest board i have seen.

I have had it 30 days and like the fit and feel. I prefer no top at all yet works good to keep out the rain.

Good lookin old skool '73! All the cool stuff you'd find in a 90's Cruzah - leaf springs, 35" tires, etc. But what's it got in the front diff? 4.11's & open?

Hi All:

Nice looking FJ40!

Only things I could mention from your photos is ditching that K&N air filter and returning to a stock air filter and housing, and cleaning-up the multi-color wiring "rats nest" over by the two batteries.

Enjoy your "new" rig!

Regards,

Alan

I would think going back to a stock air cleaner assembly would be kinda hard to do since the power steering setup is blocking were the air cleaner would go. I had set mine up the same way. i would reather have the PS than a stock aircleaner...thats just me
