Early Lower housing bought & sold this year

looks like that lower housing is cracked, or is that a piece of string or something?

Amazing body work

Thanks man!

And to be clear the body shop is doing the body work
I wish i could do that stuff ( maybe next rig )

i hope it turns out well, It is so hard to tell when it is in it's rough stages

up to around 80 hours of labor so far on the body work

But it will be nice in the end me hopes

............ maybe next rig ...........

Look to the next truck

You need to get an fj25 next

Hehe indeed

When i get the 40 all sorted, I will have to start looking around for an old fj25
But will have to be sneaky, so the wife does not get wind of it hehe

Destin,
Is the body shop replacing any of those floor ribs? I can't really tell from the pics. If so, how are they re-creating them?

I think they were able to salvage them aside from refabing the ends

But I guess they just hammer the ribs into the metal with a metal form.
