Hi everyone!<br><br>This is my first time on this club. I live in So. Cal., and have a '72 FJ40 with a '70 Chevy 307 V8 and THM-350 auto trans. Also have 2-1/2" lift Burbank springs with Mickey Thompson gas shocks.<br><br>I figure I have over 300,000 miles on my L/C -- not sure, as I've replaced the speedo twice, and it was broken when I bought the truck used from a private party in 1979.<br><br>The truck has been sitting next to the garage for over a year now, needing engine work. I bought a 2000 Nissan Xterra in Sept., 1999, but now instead of trying to build that up to something it'll never be, I've decided to sink some money into my beloved L/C.<br><br>Plans are to replace the 4-bbl. carb with Edelbrock Multi-Point EFI, replace the stock cam with Edelbrock Performer cam & Rhoads variable-duration lifters, replace the god-forsaken non-self-adjusting drum brakes with 4-wheel disc brakes (Downey Off-Road rear, Spectre Off-Road front), and add Powertrax No-Slip locker in at least the rear, and maybe the front.<br><br>Future plans are to switch to 4" lift Soft-Ride springs (Downey Off-Road, or maybe SuperLift) with Bilstein shocks, and 35" tires with Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels.<br><br>Has anybody replaced their front bench seat with bucket seats? Did you keep the inside fuel tank? What did you do with the evaporative tank inside the passenger-side seatback?<br><br>This is long enough, so happy 4-wheelin' and keep the shiny side up!<br><br>Lory J
