Builds Another FJ68 Build

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I am running RCV 300m. I cut them down so the hubs would fit. I made sure RCV would still warrenty before I did it.

Ok I've seen too many guys lately do this and not cut them down and they will start eating the hubs and ruin the birfs. Guys are thinking its just a tight fit and run it...

Good man! I'm staying AWD on Dingo.

If you have the old 92 front I'd be interested in it.

I need to look at it closer. I was able to reinstall the grease zerks but will see if they are touching. I could not even get the hub on without cutting.

I just sold it a few weeks ago. I have a 92 rear semi float but no one wants those.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

No to the rear SF.

I found a stockpile of FF rears in Sacramento and bought 8 of them last week. Just need more fronts for all the coil swaps coming in.

I bought a 96 roller a few months ago. Got it home and pulled the body and found out the frame had damage. To bad because it was very clean. Holding onto the axles for my 4 door fj40 project. Need to find another fj80 frame

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Contact @Deathvalleypaul I bet he has one or two laying around and he's closer to you.

Ya when I am ready. I need to get the fj60 done. Its getting closer

 

[megolfer]

Btw, if you guys didnt know, u can still get the rear brake hard lines for the fj80. They are pretty cheap.

First batch of zinc plating done

Nice. There is a EP shop here in Redding I need to check out. Thanks for the lead on this Fresno shop.

The fresno shop saidbthey get stuff shipped to them from all over the world. Said they do stuff for indian mototrcycles. These turned out great. Some of it was caked with grease

 

[MNKeith]

I think I need to replate all my door/hatch hardware after looking at that.

 

[megolfer]

First batch organized

 

[megolfer]

Finally got some time to do some work. Power steering mocked up. Shifters for doubler and transfer case done. Last brake line finished. Body is about ready to go back on.

 

[megolfer]

Also rebuilt the steering box and got the steering stabilizer mounted.

Looks 6-7" ish on the lift.

 

[megolfer]

3" slinky lift. It will settle a lot
