Howdy! This is Matt Farr. I live in Centennial, CO and have a couple of Land Cruisers:

1996 FZJ80 - Rubicon trail tested - black - 4" Slee lift - 4.88 gears in the diffs - 315/75 tires (~35") - locked front and rear. Picture below is on the "Iceman" trail in South Dakota, summer 2009.

6848

1981 FJ40 "Hulk" - named for being green and mighty. Locked in the rear, 4" lift, 33 x 12.50 tires. Picture below from the Red Cone trail, August 2006.

6849

I'm a member and webmaster of the local Denver Toyota 4WD club, Rising Sun (http://www.risingsun4x4club.org/). I'm also a member and webmaster of TLCA (http://www.tlca.org/), the national Toyota 4WD club.

6850

You might think with this kind of Toyota credentials that I'm a lover of Toyotas and a hater of other name plates, but this has never been true of me. I'm a big admirer of Suzukis, Broncos, Pinzgauers, Power Wagons, and old Jeeps. If my wallet had more funds in it, I'd have an early Bronco and a flattie in my garage right now. I wanted to win that purple Jeep that just got raffled off by the Colorado Assoc. of 4WD Clubs!

This is the second time I've joined here. I was on the older forum for a while, but didn't rejoin after it crashed. I've been meaning to sign back up for months.

Welcome to the forum, Matt! I am not even go near the 'Mayor McCheese' thing...

Nice rigs! I see that you already found your name kicking around on the site....anyone ever send you a thank you email? Just curious. I was the one that posted your information and trying to give proper credit. Rob(Dr Unit) was the one I was researching the FJ 40 lift for..I have a 94 Yota and wish I had a FJ40, too....You did a lot of work on that information, so I will say thanks!

Funny that you ask... I bet I get an email from a complete stranger about 4x/year, asking my opinion of 40 lift kits. I'm afraid I'm not much help, since I only purchased one of those lift kits and have been running it ever since. I think they all find me because of that original post on the LCML which Woody reposted on ih8mud.


You did a lot of work on that information, so I will say thanks!

You're welcome, though I wonder how much of it is even still valid. Some of those kits have probably been discontinued or replaced, and there are tons of new options as well.
