Alright lady's and gentlemen....
Im Chicago (Keith), and Im a CRUSIER'holic! I live in Reno, NV.
My addiction started with an 88 FJ62. I built it myself and over the past 4 years have come to feel that its just TOO BIG and TOO HEAVY of a rig for the trail that I like to do most.
So here is the "NEW" build.
A Bruised and mechanically HACKED 76 FJ40
The plans are:
01, 5.3L vortec (49K)
02 4L60 E trans
NP203 to 19 spline dual case
Frame off and rattle can paint
SOA/' WB stretch
62 springs/ axels
Iron pig cage
35's or poss. 37
PS install (of course)
Poss. RDB conv.
and a general overall FRESHENING UP of the rig.
This will most likely take a while as there is still LOTS of money to spend and preliminary work to do.
I got the rig pretty cheap, and its a MESS!
there must be a YARD of dirt and debris within the tub and frame rails.
Im already cursing the PO from some of the crap that has been done to this rig. Every little bit has been a surprise.
Please feel free to chime in with questions, concerns, suggestions or obscenities as all are welcome.
Started the dis assembling the rig. Got the rear cargo floor out (diamond plate riveted in) pulled the seats, pulled the front clip in efforts to free the motor...just general dis assembly at this point.
Here are some pics.
Thanks,
Chicago
