Haha the rig was not a shiny show truck, i was one of the first non beta rigs to install the cummins r2.8 turbo diesel, engine #3. Cummins extended the Sema invitation. While we were installing the diesel we revamped the complete drive train as well in fact the only part i kept from the...
I started this sometime ago but other builds took precedence and now i cant get motivated to finish
it does not include engine and transmission and body is NOT stock. Paint complete but not perfect, frame powder coated, Engine setup was for diesel 4bta, transmission was for 700 r4. all holes in...
No thanks

I am not concerned with length since it is essentially the same as the...
Shagg55 where you with this project...these guys scare you off?
FWIW i went the same route as you, 4bt, auto, mojave's etc etc. I am back at it after 18 months ignoring it, and I am now undoing/changing several mods

Purchased top & Bows last January from SouthBoston FJ40
We had the Bows spliced with a solid sleeve for shipping, to reassemble just slide them together and either tack weld or bolt through. Bolting allows you to store them easier. The bows are not painted and...
