|  My new 1:1 toy ('71 FJ40)
Picked up a Toyota FJ40 over the weekend. Here are the specs on it. SOA 103" WB F/R Disk Breaks SM465 w 3spd T-Case 69:1 Crawl. LAME Fab roll cage Racing seats, Harnesses Center Console Electronic Ignition Low miles / Hours strong F engine Header Race fuel Cell Custom rear tire carrier X-Over steering Scout Power Steering OBA compressor with tank, Need to hook it up. Bobby Long Longfields, 1st gen. 2nd gen spare set on longs Front Easy Locker 4.11 f/r 33" swampers on 15x8 black cragars. And some pictures of it, a few next to my 89 pickup.         I have some work to do on it, but it runs great and is ready for the trails as it sits. |

Nice Buy. Those sure dont look like the tires that this rig was built for. Put some real meats on that thing. RK |

(since nobody else has done it, and I can only have so much fun on scale4x4) That sure is a cool wrangler!  Where'd you get the grille kit? I think someone put the wrong front end under your pickup though  |

Thanks guys :-P Bark, the FJ40 did not come with tires, and I had these for my pickup. So for now that is what I will run on it. And next summer I will find some 36" tires for it. mud, 44's? I don't need that much tire! well not yet........ I am not biased towards one brand or another. But I will be on a yota kick since I am now a member of a yota club. Plenty of nice jeeps out there too, and its alwasys fund to poke fun at the jeepers  Trike, you can pick up the grill kit from specter off road, sor.com It will require some fab work to make it fit up to your jeep though. As for my truck, the IFS is just fine for a daily driver that only sees a few light trails. If I want to hit the fun trails I have the FJ40 for that. |

Previous owner came from Texas, and is still a member of their club. He now lives up here and is a member of the local toyota club. I will probably be removing those texas club stickers.

I'm just messing with you, I don't drive one of those dirty evil jeeps. I think even a 35 would fit on there nicely.

Nice rig, I see it's had it's fair share of trail use. I'd suggest not much larger then 37's with the 1st gen longfields. For tires I have been very happy with the MTR's both for price and ability I run them on all 3 of my rigs. |
