[Project FJ80]

Well, It took me long enough to get this far.. Ive spent 3 weekends prepairing for the drop. With in 6 days I was able to install my 3" body lift, remove the engine, transmission, transfercase, and anything else I didnt need. I also had to strip the inside for ease of body lift installation.
A lot of people thought that it couldent be done, and that it would be to heavy, but its no heaver up front than some rigs with 300lbs of bumpers, batteries, and a winch.
What I have is a 1996 FZJ80, 6" slee lift, 3" body lift and 37" Krawlers. The Cummins is out of a 1996 Dodge ram 3500. being that it was mated to a manual transmission and not an auto, the engine produces 215hp and 440ft-lb of torque. http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/Facts/96specs.html
The transmission I will be using will be the dodge 47RE 4 speed. Right now that will be enough untill I can afford to drop the trany and get her made billet proof.
As far as the transfer case, I am hoping for the Atlas 4speed.
In the mean time, Ill post a few picts. I have more, but they need to get developed. So heres a few with a digi my friend let me borrow.


I also have a few picts here as well. http://forum.ih8mud.com/az-copper-state-cruisers/81202-3-bodylift-diesel-install.html
