The original leaf springs made for a bumpy ride, so, given the extent of the FJ40 rebuild, I figured I should upgrade to a four-link coilover suspension setup. Most of the FJ40 Land Cruisers that have coilovers tend to be fully tubed chassis and are only two seater's. I wanted to retain a rear seat of some kind and needed to devise some sort of covers that are only mildly obtrusive.
Cut outs in wheel wells for shock hoops.
Here's a view of both of them. I thought about making them rounded, but decided that the sharper angels went better with the tub.
And a little top cap.
Next up are the rear fender flares. They're framed out of 1.5' X .120 DOM and skinned with 16 guage.
Heres a view of the flare from the front
