Sweet build, are the 80 axles full width?

 

[JackA]

Looks cool.

Can't go wrong with ADS shocks. Support the local dudes.

 

[sprdvallpro]

Whoa. That's a formidable machine right there - hats off to you sir!

 

[Mark Mehalic]

Yes the 80 axels are full width.

Very cool build! Any updates?

I'll post a bunch more pics soon. Or you can find more recent pics on facebook on the 40 series enthusiast page.

Looking forward to it! I’m located in NW Tucson. John Holloway painted my blue fj40. May have seen your 45 while it was in his shop. Cheers.

Wow, what a great build that is a nicely done truck !

 

[Vintij74]

Great choices for your build! Curious about your dampener settings with the coils & the weight of the Cummins up front. I’ve been using setting 7 of 9 on Ranchos to control rebound upfront on newer leafs

 

[dr_claw]

very nice. I will be looking for it at SEMA. Hopefully parked out front?

 

[acusyck]

Can’t wait to see it at SEMA!

I truly am a purist, but, this vehicle is really well done. As a restomod, it is one of the nicest I have seen. Great job.
