OK, Ive posted a few things here and there but had not started my own thread on my little project so I figured why not. Im by no means a master mechanic nor a master fabricator so the build is purely for my mild enjoyment to wrench with friends and family then hit the trail when we are done. This is the first FJ i have owned. There are two others in the club we wheel with.
I bought a mostly completed 1980 FJ40 and a 1971 parts donor.
Here are a few details and pictures.
1980 FJ40
SBC 350 TBI (from a 1995 chevy pu)
Th350 automatic (mildly built as stated by PO)
Orion Transfer Case
ARB's & Chromoly Front and Rear
3 linked rear with RaceRunner coils
37"x14.00"x16 Iroks on Allied Beadlocks
Its a work in progress that Ive got a very slow start on but Im now trying to get going and get it done.
Ive found this forum and members to be very helpful with spec details and advice.
Just as i bought it.
