Dad's '72 FJ40

[msapers]

After a long absence from 'Cruisers, my Dad bought himself a '72. We've done a bit of work to it.

1. Front and rear reciever bumpers (for a Jeep TJ modified to fit)
2. Spare tire/can/jack carrier (OR-FAB for a TJ modified to fit)
3. Black steel wheels with 33x12.50 FC's
4. Later windshield frame
5. Camaro seats
6. Winch (crappy, used. Will be replaced)
7. Weber 38
8. 6-2 header and exhaust
9. HEI distributor
10. Bushwacker flares

Here's some photos:

looks great, thanks for all the pictures. Did you use bedliner for the black on the rear body around the flares?

It's spray on bedliner. It was done by the PO. The truck was from AZ and it has no rust whatsoever. I guess the PO just thought it looked good.

very cool. I like those seats. How do y'all like that Weber38?

It's great, but required a bit of dialing in.

It looks great! A final "dialing in" would be to swap those trailer lights for some OEM ones.

Dad likes the trailer lights. At least I talked him out of the LED ones!

Actually, it's marking it's territory in MY driveway

I'm already bitten by the bug. I was raised in Dad's 'Cruisers and am on my second one at the moment.

It's an OR-FAB unit for a Jeep TJ. I had one on my Jeep and my dad fell in love with it. They used to sell a Tuffy tool box that replaces one of the cans too.

Nice Rig. Very sweet rear bumper.

Thanks, the jeep bumper was suprisingly easy to bolt up.
