DANG MAN! See, it's post like above as to why I don't have a loaded savings account!!!!!
@TuckerHudson FWIW - I've run the Sniper since 1/2020 ..... did have an ECM issue in 10/2020, but Holley quickly replaced my unit free of charge. About...
I ran a variety of springs underneath what is now my dedicated trail '40. Factory springs, a set of the old aftermarket 3 leaf "kidney busters", a set of Pro Comps and a set of OME all in SUA configuration. Once I went SOA, I tried OEM FJ40...
In case you wonder, I am going to totally plagiarize @Tank5 's front bumper.

Thanks to @kc_chevota Got the engine back in, waiting on a new fan bearing part Aisin FBT 002 -- so started working on all the different things. I had a wiring harness that @Tank5 had given me years ago, stripped it back to find three separate...
depending upon ur end goals, like lug count and spacing, there are some junk yard axles one can cut the ends off the axle housing and reuse to get factory disc brakes, e-brake, etc and save a lot of $ (assuming u probably already know said) and...
Done. Now I just need to tape those wires around the positive terminal and run them straight to the engine harness without any fuses and it should be good to go.
I got this battery tray from Ruffstuff three years ago and it was the first fab...
Finally got the 40 out of storage. I've moved 4 times in 2 years and had 2 surgeries. So I let the 40 sit until things got settled. Has a rear axle seal leaking. So I'm going to avoid driving it until that's fixed. I also can't get the rear...
It sure is nice to finally be able to work on this a little after work without having to pull out a ton of tools. I got the new gauge cluster and the hvac controls in. I’ve ordered more BLUE wiring (fyi, @Firemedic831 😂) and I’ll get the rest...
I've always wondered about building out a 40. I've done a few 60 series. 1988 FJ62 was my first cruiser and I was done. Convinced it was all I would ever drive and I've always loved the sound of a V8 so I couldn't leave well enough alone. Lived...
One last photo for now. Body is just mocked up right now. I wanted to see how it set. I'm liking it! Body will come back off and I'll burn in all the brackets and stuff.
Next phase is routing exhaust, fuel lines, and brake lines. Then the...
This is a cool build! What is the purpose of having the front upper link at an angle? Are you staying with 35s?
I had to look up the FJ62 with an ice maker in the center console. I think that I need one in my Cruiser! Ha. I think that some folks...
I’m not liking all of this chrome and I think that I’d like to send it somewhere to have a brushed blackout chrome applied. Does anyone have any connections? I’ve never had it done before.
Unfortunately the door paddles are riveted to the doors...
Thanks! I can’t wait to take it for a spin!! There is quite the thread on tires awhile back but I didn’t land on anything as I found a used 40x13.5r17 Maxxis Creepy Crawler sticky tire that I’ve been using for mockup. This will end up being my...
