Re: New to Fj40s
« on: Jul 18, 2004, 10:00:03 PM »
I've posted a few questions on the Rebuild section of the Board...I've have a lot of ideas but I'm looking for ways not to reinvent the wheel. 
The 4 questions involve:  Leafspring to coil spring conversion, Advance Adapters Rock box vs. Marlin's Fj40 Toybox, drum to disc brake conversion,
and Carb to EFI/TBI.  I haven't received that many responses on this board and either my questions are too basic, too technical, or
not that many people care. 
I am doing a complete tear-down.  I'll prepare the frame, take care of the body w/ new paint and some type of lining for the interior
and underbody. 
I plan on replacing the existing V8 with a new crate motor and all under hood components(radiator, steering, air conditioning, etc).  I'm  still
deciding on direction of a few things aside from the 4 questions above, such as: type and extent of suspension mods, auto transmission vs. manual trans.,
ARB vs. other type of locker.  I'm quite experienced with mods to Land Rovers but I'm new to the Fj40 experience, and I'm trying to learn. 
Thanks for any help.
