LCOwner's build up 1.0
I've got to have something to wheel this spring and summer. My FJ40 project is stalled for various reasons so I'm going to take some of the parts slated to for that and use them on the Wagon. I have a Marlin built SM420 and ToyBox w/4.70 gears and some other junk. I still need to buy the MC23 adapter to mate this to the split case. So in the mean time I started on the SOA today after a little shop clean up. This is the first SOA I've done on an FJ60 so input form ya'll is appreciated.

1. Larry gas wrenching off the brackets.
2. The hole Larry blew in the housing gas wrenching the brackets off. Larry's not allowed to use the gas wrench anymore.

So I stripped down the rear completely and I'll steam clean both tomorrow morning. I hope to have the rear end back on the ground by the end of the day tomorrow and the related bracket cut off the front housing and frame too. My help will be cut in half but in in this phase I don't mind slowing down a little.

Way to go Larry!
You might want to leash Larry to PB Blaster and matches from now on... Make sure you take LOTS of photos when you do the "cut & turn" so everyone can see Larry's coux de gras! __________________ 1988 FJ62 (Toylet): LT1 350, 4L60e, IPOR seats, 3" OME HD w/ 4+ Ubolt flip, 1" body lift, 33x10.50 BFG KM's, Aussied, ARB/Warn 8000, Thule'd.

Well all of my help bailed on me but that's OK. After I got back from steam cleaning the housings and cleaning the knuckles and thirds in the parts washer I repaired the axle housing. I may reinforce that part. There was a nickel blow out on the inside of the tube you can kind of see in the pic.
So the axle c/l is at 16" on the jack stand, and the body at the same spot is almost 10" more than it was when I started (see above). Now in the first pic the Wagon was wearing BFG 31's with an adjusted radius of let's say 14.5" that gives me like 8" of lift. Wow! __________________ If you’re not part of an organized volunteer group working on the trails, YOU are the problem. |

We'll have to see what the suspenson does over time. The shackle kicks back maybe 15deg.
How do you like my rear. Haha! __________________ If you’re not part of an organized volunteer group working on the trails, YOU are the problem. |

So after the little one sick and then passing it off to dad I finally get back into the shop and got the front springs back in. I hate welding upside down but I'm happy with the way it came out. Like Kavik I want to keep the lift as low as possable, lower the bump stops and cut the fenders if needed. As it sits now the front is almost 4" lower than the back so I'm going to mix and match some shackle lengths to make it up.

Right on! You may want to experiment w/ moving the front axle to the forward hole in the spring perch.
I deliberately moved my front axle forward about an inch when I relocated the hangers. I figured I could use all the room I could get at the rear of the fender well. Keep it up, you will be really stoked when it's a roller.

Looking good Tim. So is the "cop motor" going in now or is that on hold?

It's going in later. I just want to wheel this summer and this is the quickest way to do it.
