I want to hate the wheels and the push bumper, but they’re growing on me.Congrats…glad that rig is part of the MUD sty. I’m with @bobm…..JUST DRIVE IT!!!!
We’re not used to seeing “modern” wheels on these classic rigs, but I have to admit I like them better every time I see a picture of that truck.
You went pretty much according to that plan, right Ron???I think we all said that at one time. Good luck with it, sure looks to be solid.
Push bumper-OK. Wheels-Nein!I want to hate the wheels and the push bumper, but they’re growing on me.
to the penny!You went pretty much according to that plan, right Ron???
Thanks!Congrats again Jim, that thing is solid! The front fenders don’t even have a bubble of rust.
yep. It's a grocery getter.It should be a perfect rig to just let be while actually driving it and doing all the normal maintenance you’ll encounter keeping a 45 year old vehicle on the road..
Yes, and it takes a load of faith and perseverance to knock out every obstacle encountered on the road to the destination.of course, there are challenges everywhere, right?
Kudos to you for doing it the right way. I know others who don't do their due diligence, not worth the risk.of course, there are challenges everywhere, right? The concrete floor in my shop turned out to be only 3.5" thick (that's less than code for a residential floor.)
- lift removed
- 4' x 14' section cut out
- dug down to min 12" - 13" depth, tamped dirt
- added 2 rows of 1/2" rebar on 12" centers, tied the top row into the existing slab
- poured new base for the lift with 4500 psi concrete and a 2% hardener so I don't have to wait 30 days to put the lift back on top of it
Under the bench seat, should be a couple brackets to hold the strap.did FJ55s come with a toolkit like a 40? If so, where should one be located?)
It was so nice to find 6"+ of concrete in my shop. Whoever did yours used 2x4 batter boards and stopped there.....shame.
