Hey man that is some tube art for sure right there!
I can't really be critical as my skillz are not even close to this! But i don't like the bracing over the front seats.... maybe make them a tighter corner?....
I was wondering how in the heck you could still fit a winch in there even with the box remounted?! Maybe a few more pics of that please?
Also, i can't remember exactly, so do a search, but you can actuate the OEM Elocker with a 9V battery in an emergency. So there has to be a cheap on/off switch you could rig up.
I would make a rear bumper with some ass protection and side quarter protection. That thing will slide as you already know i'm sure.
Also, get an aussie locker for the rear. You will like it and it's cheap. Elocker front and good to go.
Awesome work though! Thanks for the pics
Bumper sold. Picked up a HF winch plate for $23.00 and going to buld off of that once its tucked in high and tight. Waaay better approach angle planned.
Front axle is for sale. Going to build a 9.5"/FZJ80 hybrid axle for it with a regular old lock-right or may just weld it and get hydro asst. I have everything to do it except the 5.29s to match the rear. And the fab skills..ha ha..gonna need some help there, but I have some really talented friends.

How are you planning on building the 9.5"? Starting with a FJ60 housing, stretching it and throwing on 80 knuckle balls or starting with a custom housing, such as a diamond?
Gotta talk to the fabricator, but my idea is to use my old non-elocker axle(still have all but the diff) and just replace the center section with one from an old scrap FJ40 housing I have. Seems too easy, though...we'll see...I am buying an 85 4Runner from PJ at M&M offroad tonight, so he would be a good person to ask...
Obviously steering would have to be addressed, but there seems to be more options coming available for that.
since you are over at M and Ms you might as well pick up a rear steer axle as well
