Builds 4Door FJ40 Build (FZJ40) (2 Viewers)

Nagging issues...
Steering - my steering binds up when I try and jump a curb. I need to improve the angle of the steering connection by shortening the GM column.
Seat Belts - On order
Brakes - I have an extremely hard and touchy brake pedal pushing it in 2 inches is like slamming on the brakes. The check valve on the booster seems to ok and I am getting vacuum from the engine just fine. Not sure if my booster is bad or not or what else could be wrong. I am using the FZJ80 stock booster and master but I rotated the booster 180 degrees so that its upside down so it would fit better on the cowl. I am using the Stock fj40 pedal \ assembly.

I am looking for someone to make me a cooler carrier basket. The one on 4 plus is a bit too small, it says it holds a yet 45 but I want a Yeti 65 size cooler on it. I want the corners to be round and I do not have a tube bender or know anyone that has one. Anyone know of an online place that does small projects like this or a person in the bay area that does side work? Thanks

4plus will build you whatever you want fyi if u call them.

Took it out for spin last week on the slick rock trail near bear valley Ca. Had to removed the fender flares and hack saw the wheel wells to stop the tires from rubbing. No major issues, just some lose or missing bolts here and there.

Here is a quick video

I am a big fan of appliance epoxy in a spray can. It's easy to use very durable and easy to touch up.
I think that wheels sticking out from the body is a big plus. There going to keep the big rocks from that pretty tub.
If you have not dune the adjustable panhards, Slee has a DIY weld on kit that I used. saves a few bucks.
With a 12.50 tire your going to rub the frame a bit in the rear with the stock off set. So FJ wheels are a no go with out spacers.
Really like your build. Great job, thank for sharing.
