    Copper and Rust (72 FJ40)

    I think I’m going to go the route of pulling the body all the way off the frame. It’s a lot more work but at least I know I will be able to get all of the rust. The parts of the body that I thought were ok have about 1/2” of bondo and are not I. Great condition. Here are a couple of pics of the...

    I have been seriously considering flipping the rear leafs. When I looked at it and did some research, I didn’t see that anyone made any special considerations for the shock mount locations. Are there any shock mount changes required when flipping the rear leafs?

    It's has been a while since I updated. It turned out that the trans tunnel needed some modification due to some interference from the Orion TC shift linkage. While I was at it, I removed the lap patches. I decided to keep the "split" design because with the roll cage in (the seats mount to...

    It's been a while since I posted an update. Work and Family. I was able to get the roll cage frame tie-ins, body lift, and rock sliders cut out. I lowered it to the new body height to see if there was any interference. I had to make some adjustments for the transfer case linkage. It doesn't...

    Absolutely. I’m cleaning it up for my daughter to drive until she goes away to school. I’m hoping to make lots of memories with it myself.

    No. I don’t think so. It’s a rubber material. Seams like seam sealer used liberally. No worries, I’m gonna scape it off and go from there.

    Got the Cage out (that was a lot heavier than I was expecting), the steering column out, and the exhaust off. I had a pretty narly exhaust leak so I am also taking the oppurtunity to pull the headers and swap gaskets while everything is out of the way. Next will be the trans tunnel because...

    I knew that wasa coming! I totally agree that the smart thing would be to start from a more orginal cruiser. I think I'm going to give this one a go. At this point, I know what I don't like about it (it's alot) and I can take my time messing around with it. I don't think it will ever be a...

    I wish! I’m behind on my procurement of cool tools. It’ll be hacksaw blades and cutting disks for me.

    You can say that again. Lots of time went into doing the body lift.

    I got my 72 FJ40 a little over a year ago. I think that one of the previous owners built this rig for offroad use only. Some of the modifications are awesome and show serious know how while others seem a little slapped together. My vision was to drive this FJ40 on the road way more than I...
