@reddog90 Driving fine. Stable steering feel (on center) a little "darty" on turns. Put a new heavy duty steering dampner on it and has seemed to remedy the issue.

@Martyt Just preference. I keep all the old (original) Toyota stuff though.

Put a lift on her. OME (light) with HFS 2.5" shackles. BFG 33/10.5 on factory steelies.View attachment 1899770View attachment 1899772

I love the look. I've done 5 or 6 lifts (all OME). This is the first time I paired it with the HFS shackles. I am a fan of the one piece design and multiple sizes. This girl is TALL!

There are a lot good looking tire/wheel options for 40’s but THIS is my absolute favorite!

If you plan to offload the original white rims I might be interested.

 

[FARMAN33]

@ceylonfj40nut ,they went to my neighbor who is right now putting them on a 60 that has been out on his dad's property for years.

 

[reddog90]

Still liking the OME lift? I'm pretty close to ordering mine. I'm torn on going full OME or trying to reinvent the wheel with OME springs, bilsteins, and MAF shackles.

 

[FARMAN33]

If I remember, your springs were far from "shot". If you are going "a-la-carte", you should be fine with shackles, shocks, Ubolts, and bushings. That being said, I am always pleased with OME ride and quality. As my friend @HemiAlex always tells me 'BUY ONCE, CRY ONCE"

I feel so famous.

I saw Nolen’s post on IG of the green 40 with the RZRs in your garage. Wondered about the blue hard doors on the wall...now I know they have a matching 40.

 

[FARMAN33]

@G-Cat yes, lots of Cruisers have been through my garage (my own and friends). Now that I have the 62, the 40 stays topless, doorless, and windshield down 95% of the time.

The stable and a visitor.

Finally scored me a Con-Ferr bumper mount toolbox. Been hunting for one off and on for years! Thanks @upperblack for letting this one go.

Nice.

And Brad from WI came though again with a rear heater!View attachment 1899782View attachment 1899783

Love the pics! Curious, who is this "Brad" fella from WI? I'm in WI and I don't know Brad, but it sounds like I should

 

[FARMAN33]

@Drake2 I can’t remember how I got in touch with Brad. I think it might have been EBay.

Well I now only have 2 ticking timebombs in my garage. The 89 got picked up last week and is now in its new home outside Nashville.

Love 60's and 62's with 40 series wheels and hubcaps!
