Build My FJ40 Project (Twisted Cruiser)

[G_Stratton]

saw it somewhere online ONCE. Looked out of place but it sure did what it was supposed to do.

I installed an IFS box on my 40 and posted it here on MUD. And it works great!

flozano - your FJ40 is an inspiration. I like the look of it on 38's. I'm looking to move up from 35's and pics of your rig on 38's is the way I want to go.

First off sweet build man. One thing i would rethink is the rear revolver. They are great on the RTI ramp but for braking and steep downhills they unload and makes things a little interesting. I would invest in some nice springs and set a good shackle angle and skip the revolvers. Just my .02 though. Nice work

I really like the way you did the rear fenders, question for you, do you plan on bracing the rear fender into the frame so that if it takes a hit from a rock it won't distort the fj40 tub? I would think that it would help greatly to have it tied into the frame at 2 places on those rear fenders, thanks! Noah

The rear shocks are ready and installed.
The new radiator was arrived today, I need to make some mounts, but fit perfect, is a griffin aluminium radiator.

you bent the u bolts? For the shock? Could you mount it higher and so it doesnt get hit by rocks?

I can't mount higher the shocks, I'm planning to lowering all the TLC 2"

Nice shocks Facu.. few $$$$ on it ..

 

[ohrly?]

interesting, I would have welded a plate on the rear spring hanger, lots of torque on the frame there.

Looks good, can't wait to see more pics, so i can get some ideas of what to do to mine.

Still
You say you have an '84 FJ40 (you sure about that year?) & the axle you removed was smaller (knuckles, steering arm, etc.) than a stock FJ60? '78 - '83 FJ40's have the same front axle as the FJ60's (less 3" on one side of the 60). And, how is the full floater "stronger" than the semi-floater you removed? Don't they have the same shaft dia.? I'd run ARP rear hub studs w/ the cone washers, Locktighted fo sure

why is this guy makin it suck a big deal and argument? the guy put the axles because he wanted to and obviously had a good reason for it so get over it please!
