Ok here goes my buildup thread. 1976 FJ40 that I've had for 16 years. My buddies and I were driving this around before I turned 16.
350 Chevy, Edelbrock Air-Gap Intake, 750 Edelbrock, Vortec Heads, 262 Comp Extreme Energy Cam, Aluminum Radiator. This was all bolted up to factory running gear with Advance Adapters kit.
This project includes a Dana 60/14 Bolt. Full width axles out of 79 one ton chevy, single rear wheel.
Rear disc brakes with all new wheel bearings and seals.
New bearings and seals and all new brake parts on front also.
SM465/NP205.
Used 2.5" lift springs with factory springs as the buggy leafs.
39.5" tsl/bogger on 32 bolt beadlocks.
Stripped down to frame/sandblasted and build a jig to roll the frame over. No overhead welding.
So take a look, tell me what you like and don't like.
