Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Dump pipe straight out the front guard. Pro Street style.

Don't be soft.

Also 3jays, you don't happen to have or know of a rear mounted tank for a 45 anywhere?

I couldn't find any 45 tops worth salvaging unfortunately. All the good ones have been taken it seems and replaced with dented/rusted ones.

Plenty of trays but only 1 good quality 'tub' style one that I could see and its mine

Pics of your ute? :finger: Just bought myself another 45 and scored a rear tub in good nick. No i'm unsure if I want to do the ute conversion on the 40, or the bobbed tray conversion on the 45. hmmmm I do like the look of this bad boy. http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac302/droopzanonymous/Short ...

55 Spring swap with reversed rear hangers will give about 100mm in extra wheelbase. The mod is very common and well documented.

Shorty45, I freaking love it. Can't wait to start mine. Picking up my 55 springs this arvo, then installing them and the lengthened tail shaft on the weekend. Then its bobbing time

How about you 2Jays? Finished yet

Ah ok. I'll pick out the one i want to use, do the conversion, see if i like it. Then wait a few weeks and let you know, so you can COPY ME. :finger: Seriously though. I know there are at least 2 down in the grave yard, but I'll see what the metal is like around the wheel arches to see if they are ...

Scratch that. One day of looking I found spare 55 springs and a bunch of cabs.

Did you want a 40 cab to bob, or just a 45 cab?

I'll swap you a body for a set of 55 springs.

Did you move your rear axle back mate?

You can't do it because I'm going to do it first. The key to making it look good on a 40 is you HAVE to get the rear axle back. This is the look I'm going for next. http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac302/droopzanonymous/Ranks%20FJ43/sideshotboxbob.jpg http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac302 ...

Looking to get some inspiration for the F100 build that I have just started for the GF. Specificly looking for more examples of flat/tube style trays like these, http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac302/droopzanonymous/F-100/IMG_0282small.jpg http://i910.photobucket.com/albums/ac302/droopzanonymous ...

Fair enough. I found that my solid lines were 'looped' under the assembly, and I was able to gently squash the lines back down when I removed the lift. I assume you'd be able to do the reverse going up.

I'm another one from the anti camp. I recently removed the body lift that the PO had in my 40. Not much to be aware of really. Make sure your lines and wires are extended were needed. Especially the solid lines to your brake booster assembly. You'll lose a bit of shifter length etc... What was the ...

Probably doesn't rate as extreme as many of the rides posted already, but heres a pic of my WIP...

Didnt the HJ47 get a splitcase with driveshaft drum handbrake? Discs work well till they take a hit and get warped, then theyre useless.. Yeah I realise the issues that come with the disc setups, but this is honestly only to appease registration requirments, as for any situation where I actually ...

Awesome! I'm very interested. Do you have pic/link to the setup I can have a look at?

I assume being a disc setup up it doesnt collaps the tailshaft much.

Yeah. Like i said after its all been done I have no doubt that a diff swap would go unnoticed, but for now they are intent on measuring and checking everything, so im playing by the rules as best as I can.

I agree mate, and I think that will be the way to go. Using the 60 diffs isn't really an option for me and up here to get anything wider than 50mm over standard approved involves alot of painful and expensive testing, and I'm already close to that limit running my 38s. I might look at a wider diff ...

Did you mean you have one for sale, or have on on your 40?

Is it a universal type kit that bolts to any toyota tailshaft or is it specificly for a H55F?

Cheers.

Thank all. My next question is did the 84-89 60s come with a transfercase mounted handbrake? Alternativly does anyone know of a suitable disc brake kit for a H55F? I'm running a 75 FJ40 with the non parking brake drum rear. Just looking for options to get one in. EDIT: After some more reading it ...

Hi all. Just wondering if someone coud give me a hand to identify the 5 speed and transfer case that was installed in my FJ40 This is a really bad pic of the rear of the case incase someone here recognises it; http://i47.tinypic.com/dwp6qo.jpg I'm told its a 5 speed out of a another series cruiser ...
