Build FJ40 buggy

[concretejungle]

RK, i thought you built a house and moved?

Nice rig! Point and shoot looks like.

BTW, still running those Nitto's i got from you!

 

[R.K.]

It is registered and has insurance, so that makes it legal, right?

I did build a house and moved, but it's only 3.5 miles from my Mom's house, so I worked on the rig there instead of trying to move my tools and the rig while it wasn't driveable.

Anyway, here are some wheeling pics. Evrything worked well, I was very pleased with the rig.

I couldn't get up the little waterfall just off of the parking area. It had a steady flow of water coming down it all weekend which killed the traction.

RK your axles have me thinking... Maybe dump the cruiser axles and do it... and run a 5.3

Hey RK,

well I did follow your footsteps and get the one tons in. I find Im getting hella axle wrap out of the front. But im still shackles in the front? think that matters?

Your rig looks good!

I haven't noticed any axle wrap in the front of mine, don't know how the shackle arrangement affects that.

broke 1 rear drive shaft, made a kiiler track bar now thats all good. Ive broken 2 front shafts due to axle wrap though. and Its too tight to put in a track bar.

Thanks for the compliments!

I actually just sold the buggy. Well, I sold it without the axles and tires/wheels. I will be using them on a full tube buggy build that is underway right now...
