    Builds Reconstruction after rollover - building The Champ 2.

    i had a MTB thumb shifter as a throttle set on my old 84 minitruck. I hope to do the same thing for my old fj40 when i get her running.

    Builds Reconstruction after rollover - building The Champ 2.

    you knowni had a 16' ages ago and have had a 20' for 12 years now and I honestly think it tows better. i have never had an issue with turning radius. Mine is a tilt deck though and has more of a 50/50 axle placement than some non tilt trailers with more of a 60/40 axle placement.

    I would be interested in your DXF as well. We use Solid works here. I was a long time Autocad/ inventor user and switched to solid works with my latest job, we do alot of small part and machine design so it works well in solid works. Maybe we should start a Ih8mud cloud for cut files? I...

    80 Series in a Toy Hauler

    yeah the 80 is a little on the heavy side but i have had good luck with my 37's and about 4-5psi. If you have been to rimrock/funnyrocks from Pasco you probably drive right by my house. we are on 12 about 2 miles before 410 and 12 split.

    this is exactly the type of setup i would like to find some day! have you ever scaled it fully loaded with the 80 in it?

    Builds Reconstruction after rollover - building The Champ 2.

    you could always look the other direction and drop a 4 door tracker body on the fj80 chassis. the real question is would you rather spend all that time building and wrenching or out on the trail enjoying the outdoors?

    going 9.5 in the front will push you to low pinion. but if you are sticking to 4.88's you could move to the 100 series 9.5" that has a 32 spline pinion option and a 32 spline axle shaft ability. https://www.nitro-gear.com/Toyota-9-5-4-88-Nitro-Rear-Ring-Pinion-p/t9.5-488-ng.htm

    based on the picture you texted me with the missing ring gear teeth and the pinion marks on the carrier I would not put too much stock in your current backlash numbers. Like you said even handling 8 years of your driving is impressive. lol

    1991 fj80- the offroad station wagon build.

    next improvement was thanks to @Marco Lau and @baldilocks. I messaged Marco and asked how he had liked his Icon springs and he told me he was taking them off because they were a little soft for his setup. He said i could have them if I would cover the shipping! turns out he was meeting up with...

    1991 fj80- the offroad station wagon build.

    also went and desmogged the old girl fully. I went cheap and just cut the nuts off the air injection manifold and welded up the holes. I also just added a circle of steel welded to the nut on the exhaust manifold but I seem to have misplaced that pictured......... Only cost here was the new...

    1991 fj80- the offroad station wagon build.

    Sorry it has been a long time since an update. I went ahead and welded up the frame and swapped in my spare steering box with a good sector shaft. unfortunately shortly after it started leaking so now i have to pull it back out for a reseal it. i have been doing the lazy thing and just topping...

    Builds Fj40 re-rebuild!

    I have to say this build and pictures like this are what motivate me to want to sell everything to dive in and finish my 40...... someday. Keep up the good work!
