Build '93 Fzj-80...Unbreakable Fab

[UNBREAKABLE]

I believe we will be stepping down to a 38" tire due to interference from numerous sources

 

[alkaline747trio]

Are the stock axles going to be enough? Longs and chromo?

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

longs and chromos more than likely...but like I said, the 42's are too much right now(size wise) so the 38's or 39's will be fine...


Tonight I assembled the front seats and bolted the seat brackets to the floor(not the seats just yet) I also washed all the metal and dirt out of the floor. I've gotten measurements for the rear bumper and I've gotten the measurements for the pass side slider/front bumper thingy

tomorrow I'm gonna bend tubing

I'm glad you're getting familiar with the 80, and Im loving the tube fenders. I'll probably have you do a little tube work to mine in the next couple of years if you're still into doing that kind of stuff. Maybe by then my financial situation will be able to support this hobby a little better.

 

[alkaline747trio]

Oh yea, and you've got me jonesing for 42s now!

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

to keep it *low* on 42's you'd have to do some major surgery on the back

 

[alkaline747trio]

Or move the axle back...but that might put things a little too long.

tube round 1

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

nothing is welded in the body yet

I was coming out of the house earlier I noticed 1 of my many animals....how comfortable does he look?

(not my movie either)

had to register with ih8tmud just to watch this one...too bad yours is on the backburner right now, but this one is very interesting as well. what suspension set up does the 80 have on it?

 

[alkaline747trio]

Radius arm with panhard in the front, parallel 4-link with panhard rear...now what he changes it to, is anyones guess.

Nicest 80 ive seen around. Cant wait to see this thing in a magazine, or better yet on the trails.

Justin you are the man.

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

Took the cage out tonight to do finish welding and add in a bar for the front seatbelts to attach to.

Also bent the rear support bars...I got some fancyness in the works for the back of it

3 Ratchet straps to get it perfect

 

[UNBREAKABLE]

Also gave it the "comp cut" look...all it took was a little force

Tool box clears every which way

Seat belt tie in bar(notice how I had to notch under the center console...it won't interfere with the rear seat heat)

 

[LandCrusher'70]

The rear "hoops" look good.
