    I need tires - MTR's or KM2's - where should I get them?

    Probably castor. What kind of lift / arms do you have? Are the arms adjustable? You may have to adjust your arms and cam bolts to get it right.

    Samurai as a expo truck

    I think a Samurai is too small for a long range expedition rig. I have had a CJ-5, YJ, TJ and pick-up trucks. Even a Jeep is pushing it for space on extended trips. Been there done that. Space and safety and ride are important.

    downgrade?

    Get 31 or 32" tires and you will be fine. If you change axle gearing and add lockers figure 1K per axle including labor air pump etc.

    Exped Storage Boxes

    The larger Action Packers can be heavy beasts when loaded with heavy items like water jugs, gerry cans, canned food etc. If you use all the same size boxes/Action Packers in the back of your rig you can sleep on them in a pinch.

    Perfect Overlander?

    In my experience if it fits you came make it. A locker, high clearance and low gears help. Of course there are some "Jeep Trails" where size matters.

    Is there a way to keep the wipers from freezing?

    I add a little Isopropyl Alcohol to my -30 degree washer solution in the winter.

    Would you buy this if you were in my situation?

    How much spare time do you have to put in the project and what are your plans for the FJ40? If you can't do most of the work yourself plan on paying big bucks to get it done. I would pass on this one and get a newer model in better shape. Your money might better spent on your 4 Runner.

    Front Atni-sway Bar on Dana 60

    I would take a look at how SFA Chevy trucks have the sway bar set up and make your van's similar to that. If you have lifted your van you may also need longer or adjustable links. The links will allow for axle movment backwards.
