1981 Fj45 Flagstaff AZ USA (1 Viewer)

[ucantcme]

I finally finished my frame off restoration which took two years with a little time off here and there. I am looking forward to my next project. That is why I am sad to say I am putting my girl up for sale. I imported this beautiful Fj45 from Australia approximately three years ago. Only drove it around the block once or twice then dove into it. Total tear down, bead blasted the frame then powder coated. All axles torn down new seals and bearings with all new transfer case seals . I had the body acid dipped primed and painted. I added a brand new bed from Awl TEQ (as seen here on Mudd Forum). I assembled the bed and I must say it turned out fantastic, thanks to Awl_TEQ craftsmanship. Pretty much stock except for front shackle reverse, Old man-emu 3 1/2 lift, DUI distributor. Every nut, bolt, screw, washer, pin, clip cleaned blasted or replaced. Too much to list! I will post finished picks to see rebuild album leave your Email and I will forward them to you. $45K

Beautiful job. Sad you didn't get to drive it much--I don't think the next owner would mind if you put a few "test" miles on it before sending it off.

GLWS.

What size tires and brand...

 

[wdukes]

Tire size???? By the looks of the undercarriage picture, they are BFGs. My guess is that they are 33 x 10.5 MT.

Stock lift,? it looks great.

 

[45Kevin]

Black roof! Blasphemy.

But nice job though. It looks like a 2-3 inch lift.

 

[ucantcme]

Easy! Its graphite gray. And if every body had red hair and freckles it would be a boring place

 

[ucantcme]
