New guy here ... I asked this on the FJ40 list and got some general reponses. Wanted to try it on this list since I just found it and it's probably more appropriate. Has anyone had experience with mounting a 40 on a Jeep TJ frame? Reason: all the tested coil spring/link suspensions available ... or probably the AiRock airbag system. Truck will see a lot of long distance road miles, and only mild off-road ... fishing, camping, etc. Airbags would take care of hauling/towing changing weights.
Next "possibility:" A TJ Unlimited frame, 103" wheelbase with an Aqualu Aluminum body. Todd at Aqualu says the tubs are made "by computer" and any length is easy enough ... that part is a mystery to me! Top side pieces can be lengthened, and the fiberglass top can be lengthened ... or a soft top can be custom made.
It seems to me that the body mounts would be easy enough. Have Todd place the tub mounting "bars?" to line up with the frame mounting points??? It's the front that I'm just not sure about, getting the fenders mounted and front bib.
Any experience ... and educated guesses are welcome and appreciated. Thanks.
