...Will do! I'd love to see the 110 again (You guys too, of course!!)....I still grin just thinkin' about the ET sand course in it!

The more the merrier! All rigs welcome by my standards!

I'll check some dates and let's start the planning!

Ome!!!

Finally found some time...and a buddy with a garage big enough to work in so we didn't freeze...to install the Old Man Emu Light load deluxe kit from Kurt at CruiserOutfitters!!

Install was simple....out with the old...

and in with the new!

Not too much difference in ride height...I gained about 0.5" in the rear, and about 1" up front, but the ride quality is.....Ahhh....so nice! I'm glad I went with the light load. It definitely still feels like a truck, but is no where near as stiff as the heavy springs that were on there! The new steering stabilizer is a fantastic improvement, too!!!!

....well....seeing as the speedometer indicator just fell off. :confused: ...looks like a speedo rebuild, new speedo cable, and some sort of radio....

Then onto the rear seating arrangements and rear rollbar/cargo barrier...

The rig is looking good!

Those shoes are 295/75R/16's, right? Will the FJ40 roll bar bolt right in, or will there be some tweaking involved?
