www.car-part.com. They are from the rears of 80 series LandCruisers and are pretty much "bolt-in" for older LandCruisers (though there's a bit more to it than that, pm me if you want more info.) Anyway, got one outta Texas and one right down at Japanese Auto in Lehi.

I don't know how I like it yet 'cause I haven't really driven it yet. But I am SURE I am going to love it. :D

If I was the first in the world to SOA an FJ60 using stock springs I might worry about it, but seein' as how there are plenty of others who've been runnin' 'em for YEARS, I ain't gonna sweat it. If they start suckin', I'll find some more stock ones to swap on--it's not that hard to swap out springs. And if they start suckin' too quickly each time, I'll get some custom springs. No big deal either way. I don't expect the springs to last another 20 years either though... And what do you mean by "if you wheel" ? Of course I'll be wheelin' it :D . This ain't no damn street cruiser.

Good to hear you aren't like kurt. You will actually wheel your junk. I was just wondering on the soa cuz it seems as though I have heard they sag quick from running a different arch pattern on 40's. I figured a 60 would kill em. Either way. I will say you get good bodyroll :D This from a truck guy BTW :cool:

Well, the springs are mostly stock--four leaves up front and five leaves out back and a new long add-a-leaf in each pack. But I actually am planning on it dropping an inch or two. I don't want it up quite that high. And I am expecting a little body roll as well. Though it is my daily driver, I don't need to drive it fast or far to where I go everyday, so I'm not too worried about the body roll either.

Hmmm...Holiday? Not me. Was there stickers all over it like mine? Only other blue SOA I know of around these parts is one of Kurt's buddies--but it has the back of it chopped off...

So once you get back from wheeling the Rubicon you're going to go straight to the nearest Jeep Dealership and buy yourself a RUBICON Hood Sticker and put that on your Cruiser...

Then it can be the FJ40 Rubicon! :D
