A little update after years of inactivity....LOL

Yeah, it has been gone (to Complete Offroad) for so long that I forget about it sometimes. They are doing a great job with the wiring and finishing details...and of course, the little issues that pop up. Kevin has been driving it....I told him to do so as much as he wants so there will be less...

Getting closer to being finished....test drives and attending to details now. Doc

How about some FJ40 build porn? The guys at Complete Off Road took the FJ out to a show today....It's getting close to being finished! Interior Side and Corner LEDS Doc

My FJ40 just got a little company up at Complete Off-Road where it is being finished! Doc

Starting to look even better

Either vehicle would work fine. I towed my fj40 behind a 1997 Sierra pick up with 170 hp. It was slow but effective. Doc

I was told that it just slid out of the ancient driveway that it was left in. It appears from Runamucks signature that it has been sold again....I hope that we can keep track of it. Doc

It looks like the Pig is in good hands....just too much for me. :) Here is the update on the green FJ40 https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/springtail-mpac-1977-fj40-build.447002/page-12 Doc

Not a lot to report....the FJ40 is still up at Complete Off Road in Dubuque Iowa. A friend has elected to do all of the wiring, installation of the Vintage Air and detailed finish work on the rig....so it is in his hands now. No ETA on a finish date. Doc

For me the choice was easy, it was either go with the new tub or Chase rust forever. I went with a Pacol complete tub with firewall. Normally I would suggest that you do the same but it seems like the reliability of Pacol actually delivering product is in question. I think the idea of going...

The Aussie kit is 400 pieces ($90.00), Dave's is a total of 854 Pieces ($199.00). From what I see, the Aussie kit has some things that Dave's does not but overall it comes up lacking in variations. I can tell you from personal experience (because I took every bolt out of my FJ40)....I found a...

To save anyone who does not want to reinvent the wheel.... Davework is the vendor here selling the bolt kits. Excellent product and good service. Drop him a PM. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/new-bolts-yellow-zinc-jis.278076/ The thing to realize is that all of these kits are a nice...

Funny that you should ask....this is the picture that Complete Off Road in Dubuque sent me yesterday. I am having them do the final wiring and installation of the vintage air system. Maybe I will get to drive it before the end of summer? Doc

I bought new hardware from someone here on the forum. My records say D&J Workman. The kit was very nice and was a great suppliment. I took all of my stock bolts and had them redone too. Between the two sets, I was never wanting for a bolt. Doc

I replaced all of the rubber in my FJ40 (except under the fiberglass cap). I think that I was about $2000 into it all by the time that I was done. Here's my advice....This is not one stop shopping. 1) Research Spectors drawings for all of the descriptions of what you need. 2) CDan should be...
