Do you have a 5687 8000 lbs winch on your 40? Disks are the way to go. Axle probably needs rebuild anyways..
Yes there’s a working OEM winch on the 40. How did you know? What’s it worth? Anyone want to buy it?

I'm 6'8' and have been driving my 40 for over 30 yrs. I've altered and moved the seat back close to the rear inner fender well and the rear down and frt up at the same time. There is a post around here on how to flip the seat rails around to gain more clearance too. Pedals are not a problem with my 14's, either.
seat braket reversal - more leg room
Can some one please post up a picture of the mod that people do on the FJ40 to get some more leg room. It has to do with reversing the seat bracket. I can't seem to wrap my brain around this. I also know that Classic Cruisers sells a seat extension kit. Does any one have a picture of that as...forum.ih8mud.com
Iirc the 4 speed still has a 1:1 top gear like the 3 speed. It just has a lower 1st gear. You have to do a 5 speed to get OD if you want higher speed or lower revs.I've got a 1970 FJ40, well, most of it I think, brakes work fine after I rebuilt the front brake lines and replaced the master. Let it sit too long and now I have to replace the wheel cylinders.
I'm interested in the comments about replacing the 3 on the column with 4 on the floor, though. Someone prior has put the 3 speed stick on the floor. Is it possible to get a few more mph converting the 3 to a 4 speed? What would than entail? I've heard a few different answers.
