Wrong Andy @MEMCruiser

[wngrog]

Just thanks God Mardis flies dog s***.

Footman loops and turn locks installed.
Loops on tailgate are 3/4" lower to match OEM look.

Top is high and tight now.

Test drove in this stupid wind today.
Top held up nicely

Thank God cuz dog s*** pays about 50% more and has a full pension.

Soft top looks great.

Braswell...take some measurements for me? I have to drill holes for OEM rear badges like below. My rear quarters are replacements. Can u get me some close measurements for positioning of these two?

Also if anyone has stock OEM skid plate underneath would appreciate a pic of that as well.

 

[wngrog]

The holes in your frame should have recessed nuts for the skid plate and the lowest rear hole lines up with the Tcase drain.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Somebody makes a skid plate that goes into stock skid plate holes.

 

[Nottajeep]

My OEM plate is in the trash.
Iron pig (IPOR) added as a nice upgrade
FJ40 Skid Plate

 

[MEMCruiser]

Yeah. Thats what I did.

 

[Bodean]

Jrob has a stock skid plate at his house unless it's been thrown in the trash. PM him.

 

[wngrog]

He's got a skid. He just thinks he needs to drill holes but he does not.

 

[Bodean]

Oh ok. Yep no holes needed unless some yahoo welded them up.

 

[ntsaint]

No, I just can't get all the slots in the plate to line up with holes in the frame (that have the captive nuts). Maybe some of them were drilled out on mine by the PO? Can't see any way to attach it at this point. Will keep messing with it.

 

[Nottajeep]

Badass!
Couldn't find a price.

What's the purpose/benefit of a 70 series rear axle?

 

[fountainhead]

FF?

 

[wngrog]

Yeah because of the full float.

Never saw price

I can be a little tricky to put on sometimes. The curved part goes towards the front and several of the slots actually go over rivets in the frame.

Thx Jeff.

 

[Nottajeep]

FF seems like a waste for an overland 40. Stocks axles are not that weak from my experience. But FF are easier field repair.

Just noticed it has a fiberglass tub and doors. Thats a big deal for anyone in that price range IMO.


Also not a photo of the engine or interior?

F c clips. Ff for the win any day
