Your totally right about the lift and suspension. I have a set of 31's from my last 40 and the lift... well that could be a problem but it doesnt look like the 6" lift.

Hey all, I am looking at buying an fj40 again... iv owned and sold 5 now. I am now looking at buying an fj40 with a rebuilt Holden red 308 stroker, 37" mudzilla muddies, 2" cab lift, 6" suspension lift, custom roll cage,rancho suspension, on straight gas. It has a blown rear diff, also needs the ...

Hey mate did you end up finding one?
If so where from and how much?
cheers

I was going to do this on my 40. Most new speedos are electronic so what u need it a mechanical to electric converter. U basically plug the stock speedo cable into it and it sends out an electric pulse that the new speedo will detect and that way u can also calibrate it.

How much work is involved with changing to an auto?
I have never driven an auto cruiser but i assume it will be a touch nicer than manual... right?
Cheers

Is there a cheap option to getting an auto behind a 2f engine?

Who can we get a soild answer from?
Is the rim and tyre assiciation the legal book they use or is there another one?

is there a cheap 32x12.5x15???

i just spoke to a guy and he said that he can put a mod plate on the car saying that becuase i have upgraded the front brakes to discs that the tyre size needs to be increased haha. he said he can go up to 2" bigger!

another thing was the guy won the case for the 33's on the fj40 but they never said it was legal!! lol

Yer he did i went to his shop today and got that print out. He said that according to those specs if legal to run the 33's but i just spoke to the inspector for qld transport and he said that they only use the rim and tyre association manual to determine the size. The guy at the shop used a ...

Well all i need to know is what is the overall dimension and what they use to determine this and then if then use the tyre and rim guide to decide or the actual factory measurements. My two options are 32x11.5x15 buckshots but the are a small 32+ they have an old tread pattern + they will look shit ...

Well i have done alot of research now and i have found that; The service numbers are all good. Load rating: Toyota 108 Maxxis 108 Speed rating: Toyota N (140km/h) Maxxis Q (160km/h) Ply rating: Toyota 6 Maxxis 6 Overall diameter of toyota optional fj40 827mm Overall diameter allowable 827+15=842mm ...

I really hate the laws!! I got a sheet that says that the optional tyre on an fj40 is a 7.50-16LT 6-108n with OD of 827. This means that running 33's should be ok but i spoke to the inspector again and he said... they ply ratings have to be the same the overall diameter need to be under the limit ...

im pretty sure its 32 unless u can say that the standard tyre was a traction tread then its a 33 max everyone says that its 32 max. They dont care about the manufactures specs only the standard 33" tyre size in the manual compared to ur original specs.

Sorry the measurement for highway terrain in 808mm. it doesn't matter what the manufacture size is for the tyres all that matters is the Tyre and Rim Association Manual. So all 33" tyres are over the limit of 808+15. You can still use 33" but u wont be covered for insurance if u crash and cops can ...

Well after about 10 phone calls to bob janes, qld transport, qld transport inspector, qld police i have found that 32x11.5x15 is the biggest legal. When you were talking before about the "Tyre and Rim Associatiuon Manual of 2002(only copy i have), a 7.50R16LT tyre for a traction tread, is 819mm (32 ...

I am looking at getting my fj40 regoed and i did the online cal and it says its going to cost 936.15 and then 808 each year after... WTF in vic it was like 300 and 150 for third party insurance. Is the CTP compulsory or can you just get third party insurance??

Can someone scan the rim and tyre association page with the fj40 standard tyre. and email it to jamessparkman@hotmail.com
Thank you

Well i dont think that a diesel swap will work out any cheaper with more hp or torque.
The guy had the engine built for his fj60 that had 37" muddies that he used as a weekend basher.

Hey everyone, I am buying an fj40 and it has a 2f with a 350 holly, it runs ok but wont idle below 1000 when its cold. Think its just a blocked jet. But i cant afford to run it on petrol so my options are: 1: Keep the engine, buy a second hand gas kit for a fj40 for $130 bucks get the tank tested ...

What does your tyre placard say, (if you have one?) If it says 7.5R16, you can legally run some 33" tyres. YOu can legally have +15mm, but, thus applies to the recognised and accepted overall diametre of the tyre specified on your tyre placard. It is not actually (7.5" x 2(sidewalls) + 16"(rim ...

Well i called up qld transport and told them that it was an engine transplant and that the engine was a turbo diesel and was probably less hp than the original. He said if it has less hp and its not turbo petrol or v8 then it is ok to drive. The car has mod plates for everything so i guess it looks ...

how do i find out more about that pcman? I am pretty keen on the fj40 cus this one has coil suspension disks all round and its at a good price.

Yer well i dont think the rust is really too bad, its just i dont really have the tools to remove it and the space since i am moving to surfers paradise in 2 weeks time.

well the 3b is a diesel so thats ok.
