I'm curious to find out if you've been at or near actual speed indicated on the speedometer.

Found more!

Did you buy from Adam Smith? Knew a guy with one like this in Jax at that time.

The Real Steel looks more true to the original cut, with the extension toward the rear sill under the doors. Don't see that from CCOT. Also, I dig all of the logos. Look awesome!

The rough ride is one reason my wife didn't like riding in it with me!! I just accepted it as normal, although I never removed the top and doors. Buckle up!

Finally! Does it make me lazy that I didn't prioritize that in 10 years of ownership?

Glad to see your son likes it! I know I sold her to a good home. Thanks for documenting the progress!

I agree, but the skid plate for the transfer case blocks the easy route back inside the frame. If the cat is moved back further, might be able to keep inside the frame, but not sure if that causes any performance issues given distance from motor and closeness to muffler. I've always hated the...

Selling my FJ40. I have owned this one for almost 10 years. Spent about a year finding this one. Wanted one as clean and unmolested as possible. She has some rust in rear quarter panels, no bondo, and otherwise very clean. No hidden messes. Ask any question and you'll get a straight answer...
