70 FJ 40 Rock Crawler..*****SOLD*****
The whole idea for the Cruiser was that almost all components could be replaced from the bone yard or any local auto parts store. It is built with strong components but won’t cost an arm and a leg to repair or replace the parts.
This Cruiser walks over the Rubicon and is a prooven Rock Crawler.
I have never broke on the trail!! NEVER BEEN ROLLED OR TIPPED 99% RUST FREE!!

- Ramhorn exhaust manifolds
-York onboard air
- Radiator is from an ’85 Chevy truck
- Radiator fan (Dual Electric always runs cool)
- Centerforce clutch
- SM465 tranny
- NP205 tcase
- Chevy Dana 44 front axle (Full Width) 5.13 gears with hubs and rotors from a mid ‘80’s Ford F150 to get 5 lug to match the rear
- Ford 9” rear 5.13 gears(axles are the 31 spline “big bearing” version) also Full Width
-4 wheel power disc brakes
- Rear calipers are from a Chevy Dana 44 and the rotors are from an Ford F150
- Brake booster from ‘80’s Nissan truck
- Brake cylinder from ‘80’s Dodge passenger van
- Front drive shaft was made from receiver hitch tubing (Will Never Break)
- CV joint at the tcase end of the front drive shaft from ’85 Chevy truck and the ujoint at the front axle is a Dana
- Rear drive shaft is actually a front dshaft from an ’80’s Jeep Cherokee and the ujoint at the rear axle is a Dana
- Front springs are from the rear of an ’80’s Chevy ½ ton truck with many leafs removed 52" 1/2 ton
- Rear springs are from the rear of an 80’s Chevy ¾ ton truck with many leafs removed 56" 3/4 ton
-Cross over steering with 3/4 ton rod ends
-Drag link and tie rod made of 3/8" DOM tubing
-Wish bone traction bar

-15"x10" alum wheels
-Autometer guages
-Hard top
-Hard doors
-Hatch style rear door
The frame has been stretch approx 5" which has allowed me to stretch the wheel base approx 8". That makes the rig look and perform allot better with the larger tires. The longer Chevy springs allow it to flex better than any cruiser will with stock springs. The wish bone traction bar keeps the rear springs from wrapping and keeps the rear end from floating side to side. It is a blast to wheel.
The reason I am selling my crusier is that i need the cash for my new buildup
$10,500 OBO
