FJ 40 on CUCV with a 2UZ (1 Viewer)

Those rims bring the bling for sure! No mods to the rims make them fit the axles ?

No mods needed they clear everything so far. I think the Hummer H2 has a factory 14 Bolt rear axle. Also the back spacing will keep down the width some, if the tires clear the rest.

Got some Scion seats from PAP with mechanical slides and recline backs.

Think I can cut the Scion mount brackets off to allow the track to mount straight the 40's tub mounts.

Mounted the 40" Trepadors on the H2 wheels and did some clearance checks, all looks good so far. Unable to flex it to much with just a floor jack, but I know its going to be tall.
Also took one inch out of the 2 inch body lift, next is finish cleaning up the frame in prep for the engine swap.

.....Just when I think I am close to being finished you have to show me yours sitting on 40's........

Looks good bud and I like that front bumper it looks mean. I don't think even I could bend that one. Do the rear wheels really stick out that far? In the first pic they really look out there. I'd like to come check it out next time your in, I still have Mason's 4-runner

They do hang out the back some, but need all the room I can get for the rear driveshaft.

Drove the tundra into the shop this morning and did a chop shop job on it. Pulled the drivetrain and wiring harness before loading up the rest to sell for scrap.

Nice to see that you are masking some progress on it. Removing the sheet metal must have speeded it . I need to get start on my work if I want to ride with y'all soon

Have to work for SCC, but should have it close to working by then.

Damn bro. I was hoping to see this beast of a machine out on the trails at Superlift this year.......

 

[John Stw]

Got the motor freshened up today with new Asin water pump, thermostat, timing belt with new tensioner, new crank seal, serpentine belt, and valve covers seals.

Swapped in some some 4.7 gears into a mini truck T-case and installed a Trail Tough rear disconnect for front digs.

Then installed the Inchworm Worm Gear prerunner adapter on the trans and ready for the new transfercase.
