Yeah, I suppose at the time whatever the PO needed it for was more important than the FJ40~ Portion of the vin.

"...OME lift installed with Bilstein shocks."Hi Desmo(ged)Cruiser,
may I ask you, when opting for an OME kit why not to use their own OME shocks?
Could the Bilsteins shocks give better results than stock with the OME suspension?
That said, congratulate you mate for your great FJ40 (beautiful in 653 olive brown), shop and co-pilot!
Did you make a build thread?

@Greek Cruiserhead ....I plan on new shocks sometime this year. I am also looking at OME vs Bilsteins.
I think for me it’s going to come down to which color I want to see under the rig. Yellow vs Silver.

Thank you, the 40 hardly leaves the garage without him!
I went with the Bilstein hoping for a little softer ride, this one isn’t a hardcore trail truck.
I don’t think you can go either way and I did favor the silver vs the yellow on this build.

Hopefully they will do so! In that case, I would consider them to complete an OME suspension kit for the BJ45 resto I plan...
In respect to these co-pilots, I believe they are part of the crew!

what did you use for the rubber gasket material?

Well dang. See what happens when you don't drive your 40 enough.
Rigged up a EVAP system with charcoal canister to get rid of using a vented gas cap, as gas will spill out when off-roading with anything over 1/2 a tank.
I am little embarrassed to be showing the final product, but I am fairly confident it will resolve the issue I was having. I will try to track down a proper vapor separator canister and replace the filter element with that in the future.

Didn’t get much done, but got some parts from Brandon at Classic Cruisers as well as a package from Heather at the TLCA. Annnnd I bought another cruiser... just have to go get it.
Wow that is a really clean install.
Same kind of stuff as what I used. Bought mine from Zoro, but also used 1/16th inch thickness sheet.

40's aren't supposed to leave Montana once they get here.

She longs for your attention. Give it to her driving her or she’ll take it from you some other way
