Builds DINGO- 60FZJ-UTE LS3 EROD (PROVEN CA SMOG) (8 Viewers)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I'm a ProForged dealer now. I use their ball joints in my new 100 and 200 UCAs and have being very impressed with the quality of the parts and service.

Never been a fan of triple 5 or others. ProForged has TREs for the 80 series and I'm working on them to make the 40, 55, 60 and 70 series currently.

Ordered a set this morning.

Got things moved around. Still need to move some more crap over to the machine shop or just throw it away.

60 body and frame are on the lift ready to separate.

Should have the axles cleaned up, and re-assembled early next week. Then get the suspension back under the frame. The Delta arms will be here on Monday and see where the new front center line is. They increase the length about 1/2" on the 4" lift version to accommodate for the lift, but I'm thinking I'll set the body a tad more back to help with clearance for the 37s.

3rds were dropped off and old tires and wheels and 37s are at the tire shop.

Pulled the LS3 out of the crate and started digging out other pieces..

Man I'm whooped. Time off for me is worse than work.... HA!

Got the body and frame separated and started hacking off body mounts. I think I will make a Trail Tailor version of these mounts for the other body/frame swap guys if they are interested @NCFJ @orangefj45 @torfab @FJ60Cam any interest?

If only you were putting a 75 on and 80. I would be all over some mounts.

Mark me down as interested for these as well Jason... may have one underway in my shop soon. Would be nice to have a supply of the mounts rather than custom making them each time.

All that remains of that butchered 60 frame...

Now that you have the cnc bender are you going to make replacement rear shock mounts the tube part? Reason i ask is because you saved that part of the chassis along with the body mounts.
