This is about it as far pictures of the wheels on the rig. I only have 4 of them and I have OEM steel wheels coming.
Well I found a stock 1972 FJ40 and joined the club! (1 Viewer)

I have been wondering what the heck is this little thing is on the firewall..
Then my son-in-law and I were looking at the truck and he unscrewed the bottom and it is a little trouble light. Pretty cool.

Well finally got my wheels up to 4wheelparts and had my BFG AT 33x10.50x15 tires installed. Very happy..
Hub caps off.
Hub caps on.
I noticed a thread or two about how hard a time people had getting them on so I bent the clips in a bit and installing them went OK. Getting them off was another story. I scratched the crap out of the rear rim getting the darn thing off again. Touched up the paint and all is well but I need to make a plastic tool or something for removal. Maybe bend the clips in a lot more.
I was thinking this has stock springs and I was needing a 2 1/2 inch lift for these tires but it looks pretty good for now.

Cool build. I just bought a stock 69, soft top original last week (and bought original PTO winch today), I won't do full restoration but I do want to maintain original fidelity in all that I do. You and your son will have fun!! The good thing is, you can buy everything you need for originality (at least they exist, somewhere), just money and time.
