been looking online but no luck. any original drivers seats for late model FJ40 going around???

A mate recently scored some off cheap off ebay recently, so there is a few out there. I think Brooksy has a set of late model BJ ones he wont be needing. sweet thanks Twisty. i like the way you have set your seats and fridge up but i am going to stick with the back breaking bone jarring original ...

it seams very hard for me to find an original FJ or BJ drivers seat prefferably late model. i thought everyone upgraded the seats so there would be plenty around but it seams they toss them out at the tip!

they may be a collectors item soon

very well said thank oyu. just a few months ago i took these on a day on the water.... http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/athwah/n590139631_1201252_6016.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/athwah/n828685297_5233048_888.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/athwah/n737340852_2205009_8193 ...

Here is one of mine with 46's.. Drove for weeks around Sydney like this. Top speed 65 before the tyres squished up and rubbed

I've got 2 fj40s and I'm running 38s on both with stock running gear for several years. The bias ply 40 does get it's bearings wreck faster and there is a little extra wear an tear on them both but that's a small price to pay. I also crack speeds of 150 and do freeway driving. Don't be soft! lol 35s ...

good stuff thanks guys

does anyone know if you can get a 16inch rim thats 12inches wide?

its for my FJ40

I have looked at the following sites and they only do a max 10inch wide
- Allied wheels
- American Eagle Alloys
- Eagle Alloys
- ROH wheels
- Sunraysier

any others that may do it??

De lux. the motors are cheap but the conversion is not easy. much easier and faster to do a Gen 1 or similar. but i think it is worth while to keep a Toyota all Toyota

BJ on roids did you have to do a remote sump to miss the diff?

Garth modified the sump and the final position is lower then this pic.

pretty much finished here:

yep go the 40 hard tops!!! they look the best its not much of a pic but here is the new Toyota V8 and 4spd auto box fitted. used air/con, radiator, hydraulic thermo fan, ECU, air box, headers and cats all from the half cut. very nice fit. mounted as low as possible to fit the blower http://i85 ...

an abomination of a classic Landcruiser

Looks awsome!

Here is my "wild" blower going on my 40. Starting this week

and casue they are so so hot

and here it is finaly. looks freakin awsome!!

thanks for the tip Rock Star

hi guys. i am doing the front apron swap now. does anyone out there have a front apron for sale or spare. i need the same one thats in the 4th picture down from the top :P the grill went walkabout because i was a tight ass and paid for standard water freight from US. its been 7 weeks so i had to get ...

hey guys just because it is rare i thought i would let the fellow FJ40 lovers know my factory 5sp FJ40 box is for sale as i am fitting an auto.

i put the post in the 'Drivetrain' for sale section if anyone interest.

not sure what it could be worth being rare and factory/ any ideas?

nope..... still waiting for the "internation" postal system to do its job. its been 5 weeks now.. cant be much longer can it?

anyone know Grant Fellows in team Ice engineering?

i want to know how his 4L Lexus V8 with the eaton supercharger went!

pics look awsome so far!

sweet thanks yes it is going to be a low, fat, high powered, all Toyota retro style cruiser mondernised with Air/con, injected v8, factory power steer, auto, power windows ect ect ect. cant wait!

Have ran a few different setups in mine, and have finished up with a really good ride, but the bodyroll took a bit of getting used to. First setup was 4" dobinsons leafs, 2" etxended shackles (ok shackle angle, but not ideal), and skyjacker shocks. This rode better then when i first got it, but ...

Shocks will do nothing with stiff leaf springs, you could probably pull them out all together and not really feel a difference. Get your springs working, then the shocks will work. Change them then if needed. You got a pic of your rear shackle angle? yeah checked them last night. stock and vertical ...

great thanks guys. i was hoping there might be a simpler answer to get around it but by the sounds of things to improve the ride in an old truck you got to do a few mods front and back and bring it up to 21st century engineering

yeah that sounds like the right option. reversal may be a rego/engineering hassle but relocating them on an angle and taking a leaf or 2 out sounds like the first step. cheers i also need to keep the handling as it will have over 500hp. I am putting the engine together now. a Toyota 4 litter quad ...

yeah coils are the way to go but in keeping it as stock as possible for restoration i was wondering if it would be worth the money to get new leaf springs or if they are all hard as sh%t.

or can you take a single leaf out to soften the ride? anyone done this?

ive been driving round for 3 months in a stock FJ40 with 36x15.5 on 15x12 rims. no lift no nothing.... jsut some rear guard trimming :) it rubs at the same degree of steering as the 35x12.5s did so i actualy didnt loose any turning circle. its a low fat and wide on road 40. so 33's should be sweet.

i am getting over the rough road ride in my 40. will new leaf springs and shocks make a difference or is it just a waste of money? i dont need a lift or anything

anyone had new stock springs fitted?

i will have a factory 1984 FJ40 5spd for slae in 2 months. rare as rare can be.

but its not going to be the cheapest option

he has kept the grill but probably running a full toyta driveline
