Installed an OME lift over the weekend. We picked it up second hand here on Mud. Thank you @wileycoyote for the deal and working with me on shipping. It rides great and the stance is perfect. Great upgrade!

You know how the old saying goes…”if you get your son an FJ40 he will want to lift it”…well the rest of the saying goes …”he will want to go driving every day in the mountains even though he doesn’t have a license and he will want to take tons of pictures of it”.

Question about the fender flares, are there stiffeners or backing plates behind the fenders to support where they bolt on? They look good.

There isn’t any extra support. They’re just bolted to the quarters. It really was a temporary hack until we could replace them. They’re rusted bad across the back and they were already all hacked out from the flares it had on it before. We really prefer no flares.
 
Not sure what year it is exactly. It’s a 105ish wheelbase. Removable top. Not sure why the bulkhead was changed. Bulkhead is from a 75. Later model doors. One piece hood. Shackle reversal front. Disc brake axle up front. V8 motor mounts. Zero rust.

Has a Chevy v8 of some sort. It’s a December 74. I don’t know anything about the trans adapter. Basically zero rust. Probably pull a couple parts for the 45 and sell it. Really nice tub and rolling chassis for someone.
