Finally starting writing about my project that started 5 years ago with rusted 40 tub and a clean frame fj80 that I picked up from fellow club members shop in PA.
after owning the 40 for 15 years and beating it Offroad it was finally time to put some time into it and show it some needed attention.
Years back I picked up a mint tub here in CT with the intention of swapping it onto existing 40 frame but after going over the 40 and looking at the condition of the frame I decided to get a parts fj80 and stretch the 40 so I can get back seat for the kids and still have room for cargo.
After some time searching I found a great deal on a 1995 fj80 in PA about 4 hours south from where I live in CT.
I knew this project will go slow because of budget and family responsibilities.
