Some of you might have seen this on the Classified page. For those that haven’t or don’t know the story this project developed over many years and countless hours of work. Enjoy the pictures I took over the duration of the build. I wish I would have taken more at the beginning of the project and throughout its development. I‘ll start with the latest and work backwards as i dig up photos.

It started as a 1965 junkyard fined FJ 45. It's set up with a BT4 Cimmins and a NV4500 trans. Split transfer case out of 60 series. 80 series axles with Factory Toyota Elockers. Coil over front ADS shocks and rear leaf springs. ADS Rear Shocks. Custom 50 gallon fuel tank. Saginaw power steering. Hydro boost brakes. Slotted rotors with 80 series calipers. Vintage Air. Heim Joint steering knuckles. The truck has been triple sound deadened. I'll keep adding to this list as i remember details.

It's about to go under the knife again to install a 1FZ with a H55 Trans. Custom Headers. 70 series axles with Elockers and much more.

I hope to have it ready for this years SEMA in the fall.

Totally agree! I'm switching to 70 series axles which will be narrower and I'll be putting new rims and tires on her. Overall the tires will be much more inline with the body.
