I am new to the site, and trying to figure out how to navigate it. but anyway I bought a 1975 fj40 saturday and so far so good I've driven it a lot ran out 2 gas tanks full lol. anyway it has drum brakes and im looking to replace them this weekend with disc brakes. it was getting hard to stop and the right tire was the only one trying to stop me so yeah i parked it.
details on it so far when i bought it the guy didn't really know to much about it so im learning as I go.. motor has been replaced newer long tube headers well under the hood is all new. the frame has some surface rust but nothing bad at all wire brush will take care of it.. new looking seats.. so far everything checks out good no complains.. It came with a bikini top. hard doors, hard top, i'm picking up a soft top and soft doors this weekend...
My favorite thing about this thing is no one knows what it is! I beleive I am the only one around with one so far.. IF anyone one could give me tips on making this a better daily/offroad ride please help me out.. I'm shooting in the dark here.. haven't ordered the disc brake conversion or the powersteering conversion yet if anyone knows good sites pm them to me.
Future purchases safari snorkle. 4inch lift (who makes the best kit)???? Winch and lockers.. I have acess to a good shop a friend owns with lifts and every tool I can possible need so all work will be done by me or a friend.. Here is pic i took this morning.
