I Install a 2.5" Lift Kit & 33" Tires On My FJ40 |

[@bogotstogoskiing]

Turned out beautiful! Perfectly executed.

I wish I had 1/10 of your skill!! Love your videos. I just bought a 78 FJ40 last month ... it'll need some work too!

@@mikemurphyseemslikedThanks for watching! Check out ih8mud.com to learn all about these awesome machines 👍🏼

Very nice. I am at the beginning of a very smilier project.

Looks really good, enjoying the build

[@gio.rodriguez]

Thank you! I can't wait to get some seat time behind the wheel.

It came out great. Please do not remove the dealer installed stickers, that’s the way it came 46 years ago. Replace the 20 gallon auxiliary gas tank, with the factory 16 gallon tank your driving range is very limited. We recently visited Death Valley from Sonoma in our FJ 40 the auxiliary tank definitely helps. Good luck on your Cruiser.

I’ve grown to love the stripes!

@@gio.rodriguez Good to hear, if go to the Toyota Museum in Utah you will see examples like yours with similar dealer installed stickers .

Nothing to be restored Great stuff

[@seanbowie4511]

Looks great! Who makes your lift kit & shocks?

[@gio.rodriguez]

Thank you! It was from redline Land Cruisers, shocks are from Dirt Logic 👍🏼

Nice i got a hint for you.....never ever sell that fj you will be mad at yourself for ever also looks like some good heavy duty jackstands use them every time so you can drive that for the next 60 years

Jealous man,shes a beauty. What is the ball for tho? On the rear passenger side.

[@gio.rodriguez]

I’m not sure what you mean? The red reflectors?

[@bogotstogoskiing]

That's for a CB Antenna. You can screw one of those spring loaded ones onto it.

[@gio.rodriguez]

@@bogotstogoskiing oh, that’s what he meant lol. Yea cb mount I need to remove and plug eventually 👍🏼

[@andyhandy9996]

@@bogotstogoskiing oh,ok!! Thanks man

[@thebluep0tat0]

What is the lift kit you installed? Could not see from the video.

[@gio.rodriguez]

It is a 2.5" kit from Redline LandCruisers, with shocks I sourced on my own. I have all the parts laid at the end of part 9 on my channel 👍

[@thebluep0tat0]

@@gio.rodriguez yeah man I’m looking at same one from them but with 5100 bilsteins. Did they not include the bushings when you ordered it? Their kit is the right stance especially on the rear.

[@gio.rodriguez]

@@thebluep0tat0 they forgot them in the original shipment, but a quick email and they had a set shipped out 🤙🏼
