Beautiful 40 potlatch!


Someone asked about what leafs we're running. I have FJ60 rears, flipped, mil wrap punched, anti-wrap added. My perches on the axle have also been modified to sit lower on the tube.

I had a 351W/marks bellhousing adapter and 4 spd. SOA on 60 series springs, which gives 4" over stock wheelbase. It got 18 mpg and was a daily driver.
38.5 x 14.5 /15" TSLSX siped. Ride was quite good. It's in for a body resto now, soon to be done. I also have a shackle reversal,

Do you have a build thread? I'd like to see more pics of the FJ60 spring install.

I personally think 38.5's are about the perfect balance in regards to scale on a 40. Great truck.

Del, did you make the leap yet?
If so lets see it. Stay safe my friend. Hadnt seen the 40 in forever it seems and now you have the mini and the 450. 37s all around!!!

Stock springs, axles and 2.5" bs MRWs in that pic. Ditched now for sequoia wheels to tuck the wheels in a bit better.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.....Yes the stock tire carrier is used in the previous pictures above,However here is the updated picture of the New tire carrier from manafre ( Dave G. AKA LCWIZARD).....the stock carrier hungout about 5 inches on the rt. side and was a little to low for my taste.

Your blue beadlocks inspired me to do the same. Traded for some red beadlocks on 37s. I’m going to paint them blue to copy your look.

So interesting to see the different axle positions.

we are so proud of how the fender wells turned out.
