Build 60 Frankenstein Build

[CenTXFJ60]

Yessir. 40 is staying home this year. It's AC and quiet interior this trip.

Ha, I’m already thinking of what I can put to the end of the punch list and possibly tackle at your shop Friday night . Maybe wire up the ARB blinkers???

 

[POTATO LAUNCHER]

Sure man. What's a pre-convoy party without some wiring. Maybe we can get it done before 2am this year.

Looks like there'll be quite a few blue FJ60s again this year @NMC_EXP @CenTXFJ60 @POTATO LAUNCHER and ???

Jim and Mary are out this year John. Prior obligations are in the cards. Will be sorely missed for sure.

That is a sweet looking truck. Look forward to seeing it in person. The fresh paint pops.

Nice Mt. Princeton backdrop to a great looking FJ60!

Making progress. Just the hardware on the right swing out and the bumper is done. Sliders installed. Thanks to @mcguirejohnson for welding the brackets and @fl4031003 for the help bolting the sliders to the brackets. Those are some heavy f-ing sliders . Picked them up from Dave @lcwizard last August. Stout product. I have a full float hubcap I can stick on the spare. I kind of like the bare look. Thoughts???

@lcwizard makes very beefy products. Glad you got those Jim. I am a big fan of his work. They look great!!!

The sliders also help with door dings because they are angled up. Others doors hit the slider.

Sliders look great. I might have to order a set from @lcwizard and take a road trip down Arizona way to pick them up.

 

[Rockymtnreaper]

I am all about the bare look! One less hubcap to worry about too! Looking awesome Jimmy, can't wait to see all you guys in a couple of weeks.

 

[CenTXFJ60]

Need to wire up the lights. But everything’s done for the most part.

 

[Mr Cimarron]

Looking sharp!

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Like the TX logo on the rear bumper. Looking good man!!!

Yep. Mcguire made that TX logo and he cut the trout in the fuel can carrier with a plasma cutter. His signature is on that bumper .

 

[davegonz]

The truck is looking sharp, Jimmy!

I ended up ordering two swing out pivots because of you.

 

[CenTXFJ60]

It’s worth it Dave. One gets the tire out from under and the second one gives you options

Looks great, Jimmy! Total 180 from last year.

Yep... had everything laying around so kinda thought it would be cool to put a different suit on for this year. The stripe kit is my goal for next year. The key for me is everything is removable.
