Nice looking rig. How's your body doing after "Christine" the demon
FJ40 attack?

weak-link · 03-04-08, 04:50 PM

time to do a spring over, did it on my FJ40 about 5 years ago. since then I've learned a few things

Dana 60hd pulling it out to get a transplant and stuffed w/4.88:1 gears. already has an e-lock and exploder disks

tires are gonna be a set of 37x14.5x15 toyo M/T's

to be continued...

It's gonna look good!

Tvaldriz · 03-04-08, 05:10 PM

It's Weak-link's tan cruiser. Looks sweet with the lift and
33's.

Norris Marshak · 03-04-08, 05:52 PM

I like everything about the rig and the photos say much about both you and your FJ. Good show!

CaliCruiser · 03-04-08, 06:49 PM

Nice Jason! Matching Dana 60's, or just the rear?

Are you giving up on your 40 or just moth balling it?

LCOwner · 03-04-08, 10:55 PM

This is going to be a good thread. I recomend everyone keep a close eye for some cutting edge stuff.

I almost took a spy pic tonight.

Tonight's update

got the split case beadblasted and cleaned, figured some stuff out. I should have some pictures of the toybox split-case in the next few days

on to the pictures

If your gonna have someone build a Toyota driveline, why not ask the best

I haven't seen this done before

sight tubes to check the oil level.

And I'm pretty sure this is new(fittings are just mock up, more bling is needed before its done)

CaliCruiser · 03-05-08, 10:56 PM

Dylan

weak-link · 03-05-08, 11:01 PM
