    One piece at a time FJ 55, AKA the Foyota

    I'm late on this, but very interesting build! The proportions worked out beautifully. I have owned a couple of 55s and they sure do love the rust. I'm from Bellingham and have spent plenty of time on Orcas; you have a wonderful place there, looks like. I saw Merle in 2009 and at 29 years old I...

    Builds 68' M715, AKA "Smokey" (Can I post this Jeep on MUD?)

    Looking great, Ross! Here is the “before,” from your earlier post. So much better. Pulling it in the snow in Fairbanks, the “after” is just what I imagined. 😆

    Builds 68' M715, AKA "Smokey" (Can I post this Jeep on MUD?)

    I will hop in here to talk about the radios we are using. We have a Kenwood TK-790H, VHF (for 2-meter Ham and also all of PCI's frequencies), and a Kenwood TK-890H, UHF. GMRS is in the UHF band but this radio is NOT FCC-certified for use in GMRS, so we won't be using it for that. These radios...

    Builds 68' M715, AKA "Smokey" (Can I post this Jeep on MUD?)

    I think that’s a great idea. It’s not coming up here to Alaska, so will pretty much always be in Snohomish (VERY likely), or Bellingham—always close by. 👍

    Builds 68' M715, AKA "Smokey" (Can I post this Jeep on MUD?)

    Hello. I thought I would hop on and give my two cents on this, as the good friend (thanks, Ross). Actually, how it worked, is I bought the old truck for $1,400 outside of Fairbanks, having loved them for decades. We talked about what we could do to it (we both own 1969 FJ40s and have for about...

    Looking great, Ross! I'm very interested to see where the stock Dana 60 differential will land (the modern kingpin version), as a starting-point; between that and having a Pro-Rock example on hand, it should be easy to see how close things will be. It IS nice to see those spool stands in...

    Looking great, Ross! My profile picture is terrible and I have done tons more reading/taking--over the years--on MUD than giving, but it's good to see you contributing and showing us the progress! I'm sorry I can't work on this stuff with you, being so far away, but now at least I won't be in...

    need SM420/clutch help

    420 Problems here too Hello all. Thanks for all the information passed around on here--I read FAR more than I write, but am learning and may have more to contribute in the future. I have a problem with my setup too. I am running the SBC with a new centerforce clutch (which replaced the old...

    Alum. Radiator Install/SB 350

    Unfortunately i don't have a good picture of the completed frame without the radiator installed, but what i do have is a picture of the frame before we tack-welded it for fit, and a picture of either end of it once it was put together. The picture of it getting ready to be tacked (we really DO...

    Alum. Radiator Install/SB 350

    Be-Cool Install with custom frame I realize this is an old thread, but i thought i may add some pictures of a recent Be-Cool install on a 350-equipped '69 40. I have the old setup shown next to the new in the pictures. Essentially I got frustrated with the original mounts not wanting to work...
