I got ahold of a set of 404s today fairly close to home. So hope fully i will start working the 45. I will post pics. I am knowledgable on the 404 axles. Just would like some info on the install. Thanks

   These are pics of a BJ 42 from my country; it has Unimog axles with disc brakes, 5200 V8 engine, front air shocks. It went in Malaysia several times for Rainforest Challenge. Last weekend I took part to Italian Selection for RFC and this BJ abotined the 5th place. It is a very good car, probably a little "big" (heavy and large) for our kind of offroad. Actually I can't find any more pics, if you are intersted I can ask to the car's owner, I know him and he is a very kind and willing person. Francesco __________________ 1972 Fj 40 - 1992 Hzj 73 |

 That is one sweet looking rig, and it would be a shame if you did this mod to it...just my 2 cents!If you "need" to do this, then maybe there is another 45 kicking around that is too far gone to restore. __________________ Dean 1964 FJ40 Hard Top...resto, going back to original stock! |

For those reading, I think he was asking around $5000...am I mistaken??? I seriously thought about it, but with a '64 40 restoration on the go, plus a 25 hopfully to be here this summer...well let's just say that I don't want my home to look like a scrap yard, but, had the 40 been completed, then this 45 would have rounded out my projects. Oh well, another one gone

I was suprised nobody bought it either. Especially being 99% rust free here on the east coast. I havent ruined it yet! So there might be hope of somebody coming here and saving it! But I doubt it!!!

Thanks for the pics and video Francesco .. one issue I always care in your competition was the fact your trucks never try much on a wall or heavy mud section ..
It's something like one try and winch .. We here, what do lot's of mud wheeling .. try several times before winch. |

I said it before, once the 40 is looking well underway, and drive-able, and the 25 is getting some attention, an older short 45 is on my list...but then that's it!!! It's all a matter of timing  That's a really nice 45 you have there...I'd really try and find something else for your project...maybe you could find another frame, do all the mods, and bolt everything to that other frame...this way you will have saved the original older frame, and can still return the truck to stock at a later date...just my 2 cents. Yup...would be just too much for me right now

Flanges for 'Mog axles can be had from EXAXT axles... google them, you'll find it. They have provided parts and help for lots of builds that use 404 axles in competition trucks and others.
