FJ40 from down under

Just a Toyota FJ40 i thought everyone might find interesting... There's a short build thread and a video of it on a RTI ramp... I really don't know much more about it, just thought it is pretty sweet... If you like giant Yotas

Wow!

When I was 6 or 7 my dad had a FJ40. Pumpkin orange, chevy 350, what I would guess to be 33's or 35's. The floor boards got so hot it would melt the bottoms of your shoes. lol

That rig is what got me hooked on Jeeps. Well it's not a Jeep, but close enough.

I zoomed in on the computer, It looks like standard 2-tab mounting.

I checked again, and the rear is double shear,but I swear the front axle has a bolt sticking straight out of the front and the shock mounts to it.....

I was focused on the vehicle side mounting. I think you are right on the front lower

Well, there's probably not much pressure on it while he is on the ramp
