FJ60 w/rear 4 link pics

[mountain cruiser]

I am looking for pics of what some others have done, I am pondering linking my 62 but wanted to see what others have done and how the rear sits in comparison to the front. I am keeping the front SOA at first and will deal with that can of worms later, just interested in the rear for now. Also with the pics, if you used coils, what weight springs or out of what vehicle? I may use coilovers but that is still up in the air.

hell yeah . . I would like to see any coiled ( coilovers ) 60 / 62 out there ..

No has a proffit's 4-link on a 60 or a home brew? Really interested in one with the body intact, but even a back halved or what ever you have that is 60 based on coils????

Not that it helps at all, but I was talking with a dude at SnT who did a 4 link in his 60 using 80 series colis and buckets. Front and Rear IIRC.
THAT set up was a TIIIIIIGHT FITTING UNIT! Looked to be a real PITA to build. He did wanna keep the COG really low which didnt help matters much in his cause as best I could tell.
I think Brokenparts on the 60 series forum here linked his F/R.
Might hit him up too.

Yeah .. but Broken parts move the hole sh*** to 1Ton axles with bunch of trimming ... cool but way to much to me ..

Right now he's only linked the front (3-link). The rear is on chevy springs with plans in the future to link the rear.

Correct... linking the rear is just a matter of time.

Looking for a little guidance in starting your own 4-link project?

I would love to link my rig.

I just want to see some pics to get an idea of what was used to get what result but it will just be a lot of trial and error to get the right spring for a full bodied FJ60. I have an idea of what i'm working with as the rig sits with an SOA on stock springs (which is the height I'd like to keep), and I would love to use coilovers, but I don't want to sacrifice interior space at this point and coils/coil buckets work so well that there is no need to use coilovers.

Josh Baker has a rear linked FJ60, but it is also back halved and stretched but still linked. Pictures are around if you search for em, not sure what under tho.

I know you are looking for rear linked 60 but here is some of my 3link up front... Honestly, I think doing a 4 link in there would be far easier.

That's the green one right? Love that rig.

If I'm not mistaken, Mace has a 60 with a linked rear...

I believe its quarter elliptical or is that his 40?

Triangulated 3 link with 1/4 elip springs:

Thanks for the info guys, just pondering things at the moment. Not one to put all my thoughts in print but seeing these pictures helped a ton. I'm keeping Toyota running gear and will stay SOA in the front. I would love to go 1 tons but what's the fun if I can't break my toys??
