FJ45 Landcruiser Restoration | How to Install ARB Old Man Emu Suspension | Episode 11

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I install ARB Old Man Emu Suspension in my FJ45 Landcruiser. These instructions will suit all Toyota 40 Series Landcruisers as well.
This video will take you step by step through the installation of the ARB OME suspension in my FJ45 restomod and point a few traps and pitfalls for you to be aware of along the way. There are some clangers so watch carefully!
If you enjoy old Toyota Landcruisers, this video series details my entire restoration journey from the day I picked up the Landcruiser, until the day I eventually register it on the road (if I don't die first!).

    Great video, I’ve just installed ARB suspension into my BJ42 and the front shocks are touching the strut tower, after watching your video I realise that I’ve installed the front springs backwards, can’t wait to correct them tomorrow and see if it solves the issue. I purchased new cup washers from Toyota, the codes are 90948-03003 inner and 90948-03004 outer.

    Great video mate, now I know where I wont get my new suspension from. Actually I find it quite emberassing for a Company with such a name like ARB to not add the Hardware needed, specially with the hefty pricetag of 2 thousand Dollars. I am already excited to get my Frame as neat looking as yours. I hope you show all the details when you work on the Tubs, I will need to do alot of bodywork on my BJ42 so all details I can see from other guys help me out alot. But you will see the disaster with the Body on my Channel in a few Months time. So long, keep putting out the videos, I love the Content.

    No I did not say the plus sign indicates a higher bias. Watch the video around the 6 minute mark. The plus sign denotes the fixed end of the spring, as opposed to the shackle end.👍😎

    Looking really good now Terry. I was just thinking that it wood be an ideal time now to do a bit of over engineering. Considering the size of the motor that you will be installing, have you considered welding into the frame some additional bracing. After all the frame is a little compromised with some rust pitting, and the torque that engine will be pushing through it could result in sloppy handling or even a complete failure. It would be cheap insurance while you still have clear access to the frame. Anyway, I’m enjoying the build and really look forward to the next edition. Cheers. 👍

  • @JafffaAdventures

    @JafffaAdventures

    3 жыл бұрын

    Thanks David, I appreciate you watching and following along. The points you made re additional bracing are all valid. I decided not to for two reasons. Firstly, I’m lazy if the truth be known. Secondly, this is a work ute and primarily used on bitumen and dirt roads. I believe the chassis flex and potential compromise would be a issue if I can get the rear wheels to hook up. To be honest, I doubt I will be able to get enough traction to the ground to compromise the frame. Big power, lowish gearing, slush box transmission, and not a lot of weight on the rear axles are all working in my favour. So that’s my logic. It remains to be seen once finished if I’m under the car with a welder reinforcing the frame and giving myself an upper cut at the same time😂👍😎

    Sorry Vinnie I do not. What I do know is that there are two part numbers, one for smaller diameter shackles and one for larger. The early ones are small, the later ones are large. I'm not sure what year they crossed over but it would pay to do some research on this so you don't get the wrong ones. My 74 model were the small diameter shackles. I would download the ARB catalogue from there site, I'm sure the suspension part numbers would be in there as that is where I started my hunt. Cheers
