    Georgia 1980 FJ40 Build Thread w/ Cummins R28 Diesel

    Long time, work busy as hell lately. So got off the body, etc, down to nothing. Always nice to have a buddy with a mobile sand blaster. WELL WORTH THE MONEY just for the amount of time saved removing the paint. Some pictures of the action below. Body is now in the hands of the paint shop, where...

    Must be the angle...It's reinforced up top, and the beams holding it all are 2x10's solid oak. I tested it all with 2 100lb. boxing punching bags, lifted it with ease, and no problem. I have a tendency to over engineer things like this, and this is definitely solid. Fingers crossed, lol.

    Also was able to rig up in the barn a way to hoist off/on my hardtop for the project and in the future. Pretty stoked how it came out, and all in $80 from Harbor Freight.

    This past weekend the weather cooperated, and was able to get a lot done. Completely removed the entire drain train, axles (starting rebuilding the rear), and removed all the interior. Even though the frame was a complete disaster, the body is in really good condition. Also received my order...
