    Anyone want to comment on pinion offset for my rear driveline. I am going to build a custom rear axel and need to decide whether I make the housing symmetrical Which would give me a pinion offset of about an inch and a half, or if i set the Pinion offset in line with the transfer case...

    Great point on the hood latches. Will have to keep an eye on them when there is flex. The red ECM is the 4l80e transmission controller (Compushift) to the cummins. https://hgmelectronics.com/pages/4l80e-transmission-controller Black box is a Garmin power switch. It controls all the...

    Rear taillights are made by JW Speaker. The holes were minimal 4 corners for the hardware and one small hole to pull wires through.

    I finally got a chance to fire the Cummins as well. It sounds pretty badass. Most of my gauges are hooked up and wired to the Holley digital dash but still have some cleanup of the wiring under the hood.

    I had to extend the gutter rail section 18 inches with another section of an old roof and try to match the curve. I riveted some sheet metal to help form and then added 3 layers of fibreglass to the inside seams. Had to build up slightly with fibreglass on the top to match as well but it turned...

    Finally finished extending the roof. Have it all fitted and taking to linex hopefully this week. Trying to decide weather I use the traditional fj40 Roof colour Cygnus white or if I use the FJ cruiser iceberg white. Or do something different.

    Installed the atlas transfer case . Had to clock it a bit to make it fit but was overall pretty straight forward. Looking forward to building my rear axel but still haven’t decided what to build yet! I bent some aluminum in order to make the tranny cover mate up to the one I hacked from...

    Been a while since I posted but slowly trying to get all the wiring done. Got the front end finished and put back together. Made a custom grill and I think it fits with the over all look. Really like the JW speaker lights. Thinking of painting the front signal light casing black instead of the...
