Sweeeet! Very nicely done. Can't wait to hear how that setup works on the trail!

so your not using the pumkin sprin mounts??? but 2 new welded spring mounts cool

actually, I should have said perch. the pumpkin was milled a little and a new top plate made for the pass. side. spring mounting.

'ppreciate the compliments.

What have I missed? What are you running for an engine?

If you're going south for the winter you might think of putting a diesel in her.

Nice rig for sure.

Seems to me you could have saved big bucks by just changing out the R&P's and adding disks to the stock axles.

I have a rear full floater with disks (factory toyota) in my HJ60.

Yeah, I reeeeeeeeeally want a diesel. Once the 3FE tires some more, I'll look into a 1HZ/HD. Still need to do some research to work out the details of the conversion.

Perhaps.. I really wanted to build an extreme expedition cruiser. Plus, the stock axles had 4.88/arb/hysteer that I sold on pirate4x4.com for half the price of the new setup!! I considered a disc brake toyota FF and some wheel spacers to increase stability, etc. I went dana axles cause I really wanted more strength and better braking and 4.5" of extra width. The heavier gear also lowers the c.o.g. The dana axles weigh almost TWICE that of the stock pair (1200lb vs. 600lb).

Its like driving a completely different rig

Lookin' bad ass! I want to see how wide your stance is compared to the body. You got any straight-on front and rear shots?

Sweet 62! Did you get all new hard lines for the brakes or just adapt the toyota lines to that master? I ask cause I have a GM60 and 14 bolt with disc in my 87 FJ60 and my brakes suck! I mated a K30 master to the toyota booster and adapted the toyota lines and the brakes are still soft making me mad!

I gotta say, I never did have any love for the 60-62's but this pic is making me think otherwise! Very nice setup!
Keep the pics coming and maybe I will be swayed to make the addition to the family sooner then later!
