    Springtail MPAC 1977 FJ40 Build

    Yeah, it has been gone (to Complete Offroad) for so long that I forget about it sometimes. They are doing a great job with the wiring and finishing details...and of course, the little issues that pop up. Kevin has been driving it....I told him to do so as much as he wants so there will be less...

    How about some FJ40 build porn? The guys at Complete Off Road took the FJ out to a show today....It's getting close to being finished! Interior Side and Corner LEDS Doc

    Would you tow a 40 behind a full size Range Rover?

    Either vehicle would work fine. I towed my fj40 behind a 1997 Sierra pick up with 170 hp. It was slow but effective. Doc

    Hindsights FJ55 Rat Rod

    I was told that it just slid out of the ancient driveway that it was left in. It appears from Runamucks signature that it has been sold again....I hope that we can keep track of it. Doc

    It looks like the Pig is in good hands....just too much for me. :) Here is the update on the green FJ40 https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/springtail-mpac-1977-fj40-build.447002/page-12 Doc

    Springtail MPAC 1977 FJ40 Build

    Not a lot to report....the FJ40 is still up at Complete Off Road in Dubuque Iowa. A friend has elected to do all of the wiring, installation of the Vintage Air and detailed finish work on the rig....so it is in his hands now. No ETA on a finish date. Doc

    Agonizing over Tub- Fix, or buy Aqualu?

    For me the choice was easy, it was either go with the new tub or Chase rust forever. I went with a Pacol complete tub with firewall. Normally I would suggest that you do the same but it seems like the reliability of Pacol actually delivering product is in question. I think the idea of going...

    Nut and Bolt Kits

    The Aussie kit is 400 pieces ($90.00), Dave's is a total of 854 Pieces ($199.00). From what I see, the Aussie kit has some things that Dave's does not but overall it comes up lacking in variations. I can tell you from personal experience (because I took every bolt out of my FJ40)....I found a...

    Nut and Bolt Kits

    Funny that you should ask....this is the picture that Complete Off Road in Dubuque sent me yesterday. I am having them do the final wiring and installation of the vintage air system. Maybe I will get to drive it before the end of summer? Doc

    Nut and Bolt Kits

    I bought new hardware from someone here on the forum. My records say D&J Workman. The kit was very nice and was a great suppliment. I took all of my stock bolts and had them redone too. Between the two sets, I was never wanting for a bolt. Doc

    Rubber Seal Kits

    I replaced all of the rubber in my FJ40 (except under the fiberglass cap). I think that I was about $2000 into it all by the time that I was done. Here's my advice....This is not one stop shopping. 1) Research Spectors drawings for all of the descriptions of what you need. 2) CDan should be...
