Builds Another FJ68 Build

[MANUCHAO]

Thanks......
How much lift are you getting with the slinkys?
Im at a tad more than 5" with 4" slees+spacers on the rear, and 4" at the front & no spacers
Im going to try the 5" bracket...

Rig looks great, and im sure it will ride like a dream with that lift you putting under it...
Thanks for the quick reply.....

Im thinking around 4". Hard to tell and didnt measure prior. I really think you would be good with 3" or 5". Pm Delta, they respond fast and have been great.

 

[MANUCHAO]

Thanks, Yeah I already did get intouch with them...
Just trying to get others opinions, but hard to gauge since these are hybrids in between series, with diff weights, and setups...
I have the option to try the 5" and return for 3" if it does not workout...
Great stand up dudes.... I think... !!

Slow progress but I have 95% of the parts needed to complete. Got the axles all buttoned up.

RCV shafts. These are super nice

 

[megolfer]

Need to finish up the bumpers and make sliders then time to pull the body and paint the frame.

 

[megolfer]

Whiteline heavy duty front sway bar came in.

 

[megolfer]

New parts came in. Purge valve, vapor canister and new fuel pump.

 

[megolfer]

Ne ac condensor but its damages. Bottom is bent. Or course it was the last one until the end of jusy. Luckly not in a big hurry.

 

[megolfer]

Bout the Bend tech software today. Going to start working on the sliders.

IIRC, the bottom is supposed to have that notch bend in it to clear the hood latch brace. The point bend in the top is no bueno, but you could straighten that out without much trouble.

Thanks. I new the top one was factory but the bottom was not. I am going to send it back and get a new one

Working on the rear bumper and sliders. The rear frame rails sit really low so I am trying to figure out where to position the rear bumper. This is just clamped up right now. I have a few ideas but nothing final yet.

 

[megolfer]

Also working on the sliders

Working on slider design

 

[megolfer]

One slider down, one to go.

Frame brackets are welded in upside down. About a 1.5" drop the way you have them now.

They way the fram is positioned and the slider this is there they ended up. I dont tgink I could have got them much higher.

 

[megolfer]

Both sliders done. Now time to start finishing up the bumpers

 

[megolfer]
