I just bought a 79 FJ55. I'll be fixing and setting things back to mostly stock.

A solid brownie find.
Welcome to the hoard.

Nice, seems I remember that front bumper. Very unique. Great color.

Thanks for the compliments. Unfortunately I will be stripping off the bedliner paint job to find the rust hiding underneath. I may just re-do it that way after everything is fixed. Right now I am loking for a front sway bar since there isn't one. I guess I'll need come custom quick release links too.

Nice looking rig! Welcome. Are there brackets or links on your pig for the sway bar making you think there should be a sway bar? I don't think they came with a front one. At least mine only has a rear. Anyone with more knowledge confirm this?

the bedliner job looks cool in the photo. First thing i'd do is whack off those giant rocker guards

No front sway bar on Pigs that I am aware of.

My 77 does not have one.

I assumed there was a front sway bar because there are mounts for it on the axle. After researching I believe you are correct. There is no front sway bar. I would like to re-install the rear.

FJ60's have a front sway bar, maybe that's what you have.

That is nice!
Where did you find it? Where are you located?

 

[Indigodog]

Thanks. I'm in Mt. Pleasant, SC. I bought it about 12 miles away in North Charleston, SC.
