Looking good...

After I mount the 35" and adding a couple hunderd pounds to the front and back of the rig I am goning to see how it looks.

I may be swaping axles and going back to Spring Under.

This thing is getting way too tall.

SU is probably a good idea...

That is a dam big rig..

X2, I would think four to four and a half cans would be ideal.

megolfer · 12-19-07, 09:05 PM

Just run 40's and call it good.

Cold feet Dan? At least put it on the trail try-er out get her feet wet! Would love to see 38's on her member were in the hardcore section

.

ps that 40 shell you got out side still got the side mirrors and the rear view lost my last side view today after you left spinning doughnuts in the mud ..remember how we thought that door would not pop open? Dam dist thing .............it did!! lol

D'Animal · 12-20-07, 08:05 AM

Not really Cold Feet.

I'm just thinking from an off camber situation. It sits pretty high. FC187 built one heck of a cage, I just hate to actually put it to use.

I would like to just put it together and run it but I have to have custom driveshafts made. I really do not want to do that twice.

88chevota · 12-20-07, 08:37 PM

very cool build! can't wait to see the final product.

D'Animal · 12-22-07, 09:24 PM

35's look good.

D'Animal · 12-22-07, 09:26 PM

Yep, they still look good.

D'Animal · 12-22-07, 09:28 PM

The Kaymar Accesories look pretty darned good as well.

Sorry, I don't have a Power Tank.

Fire Extinguisher is just for the pictures. Other why's you could not see it since I have so much junk in the back ground

redrustbucket · 12-23-07, 06:36 PM

Dude, that thing's higher than Tommy Chong. Those 35s look tiny. Spring under is definitely a good idea.

fj40forlife · 12-23-07, 07:01 PM

Kinda looks like my old rims

Eric

D'Animal · 12-23-07, 07:15 PM

That's what I was thinking and I agree.

Mace might be helping me with some 38"s so the 35"s don't look so small.

D'Animal · 12-23-07, 07:16 PM

The one on th Kaymar is your old rim.

I'm still trying to decide on 35"s or 37"s or 38"s.

ajfriz · 12-25-07, 08:45 PM

We all know that 38s would be the way to go...
BTW I really like the body work you have done. I always thought an extended cab 45 would be bitchin.

clarkrw3 · 12-28-07, 08:24 AM

38's for sure....the 45/80 looks great with 40's

D'Animal · 12-28-07, 08:27 AM

It's getting 38's on Saturday.

you talking bout Gary's truck?
if so i would agree it is a very nice truck i got to check it out in person right before butch sent a shock through the radiator after gettin some air

D'Animal · 12-29-07, 07:31 AM

When did he blow a shock through his radiator?

I saw him at the FJ45 run and Surf n Turf.

D'Animal · 12-30-07, 11:37 PM

Mace was right!

38's look way better!

D'Animal · 12-30-07, 11:38 PM

Gas can are for size reference only!

Tapage · 12-31-07, 08:02 AM

Looks pretty nice .. I thought you gonna lower it a few inches .. coz you have plenty of space ..

D'Animal · 12-31-07, 08:20 AM

Once I get the rest of the motor and components in the engine compartment and a winch winch on the front it should drop a couple of inches. If that is not low enough, I will put shorter shackles on the front and rear.
