Let's review shall we? You started with this:

And now you have this:


You sir, are a master! You are a friggen FJ god! Your skills and attention to detail are beyond reproach.
Saying Kudos is not adequate.
I have a T-Ace swing arm and Penske shock on my '84 with the swingarm linkage converted to the dogbone '89/90 linkage.
My Penske is threaded out 5/8" (extended) and my dogbones are at 4" in length. If you have a non adjustable shock I think 3.75" would be a good length. (center to center on the holes) I see you have no center stand to measure so I hope this helps.

Now that you have a hollow rear axle, you don't need a center stand to lube your chain, I use this:

I can't say enough about your efforts......

Amazing, a real work of art. Well done and any other terms that means you did an outstanding job on making a beautiful FJ out of junk.

Really sir, my hat is off to you.

Ohlins shock went off to have a new spring fitted all done for £95
also got a good friend who runs a dyno he also is a bit of a tuning guru and well do the work on the cylinder head for £225
with Randy front fork up grades at £200 its brrn a expencive couple of weeks

but it should handle very good and go like stink
