FJ40 SOA, PS and Disc conversion

Post by Filmz64 »

Hey guys,
In the process of trying to sell my FJ40 or trade for a BJ74.

However am also considering doing some work on the 40 (Disc front axle, Pwr steering and SOA) if it doesn't sell.

I know there is quite a bit of info on this and have been reading a lot. Just want to know whether it's worth converting the original gear or going down the lines of a complete axle swap (70 series????)

Any info is appreciated. I don't have much experience with this sort of stuff, nor do I have much equipment for doing fabrication.

Cheers

Your truck is looking quite straight in that photo (not so much after the coast though).

Maybe see you at the Ashley trip?
