    Increased Leg Room/Seat rail redesign

    My plan is to reattach the lower part of the rail at the top of the picture in its original position. Then add 1x1 boxed steel to the top part of the rail in the middle of the picture above. This will give me 1 inch of rise. In doing the added piece of boxed steel will be cut 2.25 inches...

    Increased Leg Room/Seat rail redesign

    Breakdown TLC Thread

    My Fj40 has not stranded me yet though I came close...the worst issue was a bad red top battery.....that was burping rotten egg like gas. In fact I was mislead to believe that I had a bad head gasket. Which I replaced twice before realizing it was the battery. Switched to a Sears Die Hard...

    Yep no ground strap to the frame...just to the battery.....but it made a great anchor line and prevented the starter from ripping my harness apart. ;)
