Outside our normal build but when Glenn Beck calls you up and asks for different and doomsday ready, you must deliver. This 1976 FJ55 is having a complete transformation. What started as a partial restoration has turned into a complete frame-off build.
The original scope had us doing spring-over axles, reupholstered seats, electric windows, upgraded sound system, air conditioning, USB ports, Cummins motor, and a faraday cage. The updated scope wanted the same BUT modified custom fender flares, total new paint job, disc brakes, roof rack and upgraded upholstery.
The new paint is a Cornish cream and will have a 70’s pinstriping with fat lines of an autumn rainbow (dark yellow, orange, red, brown). The upholstery is distressed leather with German red/orange/green plaid inserts.
Went with Randy’s Worldwide 14T 10.5" GM 4.10 & Down 30spl and D44 3.92 & Up, 30spl New Design along with an ARB air locker both front and rear. We’re using a BD 3-Piece Pulse Exhaust Manifold by Diesel Power Products and got with Frank over at Entropy for our radiator.
Had custom 16x10 wheels shipped from Stockton Wheels then powder coated white rolling on 305-70R16 tires.
One area that we really focused on was the front and rear fender flares. We wanted to make sure the lines and gaping were perfect. The team did an excellent job of producing top-notch results. Overall, this is going to be one amazing FJ55.

We’re all impressed by the work @ladybuiltcustoms and the rest of your team has done so far.
