AK has 5 classes of Mud Racing Trucks, this one will be a class I. Class I: 4 and 6 cylinder motors, naturally aspirated with DOT tires. Class II: V-8s, naturally aspirated up to 370 with DOT tires. Class III: V-8s of any displacement, naturally aspirated with DOT tires. Class IV: Unlimited displacement with power adders, unlimited tires. Class V: Diesel with unlimited tires.
The project thus far: 1973 FJ40, 1FZFE, A442F Tranny, FZJ80 t-case, radiator moved to the back, fuel cell/pump, a mess of wires... still. Plans in the near future, a spring over to fit 38.5x11x16" Boggers on the factory FZJ80 Rims, plastic racing seats with 5 point harnesses, custom exhaust off of the factory header pipes, electric puller fan shroud for the radiator AND, the big AND, an aluminum electrical box for all of the CRAP that goes with the fuel injection under my drivers seat.
So far this truck has cost $600, I paid $400 for the 40 from a fellow mudder and $200 for the pump and fuel cell. The FZJ was purchased for the locker for my trail truck for $800, so for all you 'boneyard' collectors, this is a true boneyard truck =)
