Re: FJ40 front springs what to use?

Hi Guys, Been a long while since I last visited... I’m wanting to put some longer leaf springs in the rear of my 1975 FJ40 to move the shackles angle back rather than verticle. I recall there was a Falcon spring mod that had the same 15mm ID bushing size. Does anyone remember what model and year fal...

Re: Super Swamper tyres

Love the Swamper/Bogger combo I'm running. Having used this combo for the last few years I wouldn't trade them for any other brand.

They are perfectly suited to my truck setup and the type of offroading that I enjoy... and I'm yet to have any issues keeping up with others...

Re: Shroud or Bigger Fan???

Why the big difference in size with or without a shroud? Also, with fans, size isn't everything. Some shift a lot more air than others. The new bigger fan has more blades, more surface area, and is more aggressive as well. Will shift a lot more air than the old one. Was tempted to fit the new fan w...

Shroud or Bigger Fan???

Hi All,

Wanted to ask the question, if you had the option between running a 6 blade 18" fan with no shroud or a four blade 12" fan with a shroud which would you choose?
