Got it figured out for now!

Cool cruisers of texas CCOT.com offers a 5 speed and advance adapters does as well.

Nah for what I do I prefer leaf springs and I don't think I would be able to get the flex and travel that I have with a 4-link coil set up. And all in all the leaf springs are more durable in my opinion less to go wrong. Coils arent as good in the rocks either they bounce leaf spring stay...

So I recently went to fire up my FJ and will not fire up at all. Turns over I have fuel pressure but no spark. I'm thinking its probably the ignition switch as all my fuses are good but no power to my distributor. Anyone think of anything else? I would hate to spend the $100usd on a new switch...

No problem! I figured pictures sometimes explain better then words.

You could always try www.painlessperformance.com too. they might have something that would work on that application made up. I used factory harness on mine and ran separate gauges to get exact readings. There's always a way to do something

When I say "full floater" I mean being able to pull the axle out of the axle housing with out pulling the wheel off or touch the hub on the housing It self. The Axle Shaft it self actually bolts to the hub assembly on the axle housing. There for not having to remove the inspection cover on the...

Sounds good ill check around and see what I can find.

Very nice work!:icon-biggrin:

Thanks clivehorridge!

Thank you tonytoyota! Much appreciated! Lot of blood, sweat, and beer!

Yep! can beat the bark off of them and they just keep coming back for more! HA gotta love it!:icon-biggrin:

Did a 383 stroker sbc in my fj40. One of the best up grades i had ever done! Especially if you want to pull your boat with it and plan on being in the hills camping. Nothing against the factory straight 6. I also just prefer the sound of a throaty v-8! Have to put some pics up soon

If you like v-8 diesels check out the 7.3L power stroke made by international in the older Ford super dutys we have in the states. They are very dependable and rugged. will run on anything almost. I have A old Ford pick up with it and wouldnt trade for anything!

Yea I saw that after doing some research on it that they are imported. I was looking on there site and says they are out of stock. Dont understand why we didnt get the full floating unit its kind of frustrating HAHA:think: I totally agree with you on the fact they deserve it! I hoping they had a...

Thanks clivehorridge! HAHA:dance: at least we wont have to be around for it! How do i set up the signature in my profile?

The 6.5 chevy diesel you speak of is probably the same version here in the states im sure maybe? If so i would avoid it at all costs worked on a few of them and they are a junk engine. wouldnt trust my life with one in my opinion.

Ok will do thanks alot didnt know they made a full floater kit thought i would have to get a whole new housing and everything

No replacement for displacement!:icon-biggrin:

Beutiful LC!:icon-biggrin: was wondering who makes the stainless disc hand brake for the FJ40s?

Full floater rear end too i believe?

Wouldnt mind having the owners manual just to have it for my 78! As far as what its worth I have no idea.

Would love to find A fj40 Full floater rear end for my 78 fj40 if anyone knows where i could find one. As far as i know here in the states none of them had the option for it.:cry:

I know this is a shot in the dark! But maybe try advance adapters in the U.S. They are located in california and do all kinds of conversions. They will even do a custom build too im sure! They where going to do a custom build for me when i wanted to put a allison 2.5ton tranny in my LC! Might be...

Hey! Im new here and was wondering how i access my signature page on my profile to add all the mods and stuff?

Thanks alot I appreciate it! I love the spring over conversion! It works well I could probably run 37s with no issues as far as rubbing goes! How do I edit my signature in the profile feature for vehicle mods?

My name is kevin new to the club! Glad to see all the LC enthusiasts out there! Have a 1978 FJ40, with 150k on it. Still origional paint hard top and doors. It is built with a 383 stroker sbc powerplant, SM465 1ton tranny with granny low, stock toyota tcase, Aluminum race radiator with built...
