FJ55 Heavy Duty (3 Viewers)

[landcrusiergod1]

Toyota content - FJ55 is still parked at Lars house. Fj80 saw in the local neighborhood, Logan bought this 4 runner, picked it up on my way to get the 100series My wife bought from her twin sister in North Carolina. Still waiting for Covid nightmare shop to be finished! Updates on that page also. Sorry no fj55 — holding pattern

The shop… still not done!

That’s gonna be one fancy shop

 

[landcrusiergod1]

no update is still an update? Pig is still resting a a friends house. Shop build still is not done.

Shop is finished, just need to get lift installed later this month. Then the Piggy can come home.

That's a cool looking shop!

EDIT...that I would totally mess up.

That looks to be a special floor surface. I have always wanted a super clean floor, but I have thought that welding would just wreck any surface I put on.
What are you working with?

Epoxy floor coating - lots of flakes! The top coat has that sand grit traction stuff. No sliding here.. goodbye knee caps if you fall! I will be doing normal metal shop stuff. Already welded the shop fan motor bracket and the embers / sparks just danced across the surface. Time will tell, it’s the Covid nightmare build in the garage section. Still working on the setup. While wifey ( what the heck is with the Y chromosome that makes them want to sell old stuff?) anyhoo shop it setup for a yard sale barn for the next couple weekends as the extended family unloaded stuff.

Yup
It’s no good unless it’s new.
I have had some say to me ‘why don’t you just get a new car?’

To some you just can’t explain.
Actually, I guess sometimes I don’t understand ‘why’ either. :/

Picked this up the way back from biloxi doctors visit. Not mine! Just transporting, they are doing a body swap on another 4 runner

Will work on more Toyota contents…. Again sorry for the delay in the fj55 build.

Pretty sure we're following along for the ride, toyota or no, so just keep plugging and we'll keep reading.

Got the tire machine about where I want it. Steal of a deal on this and the balancer. Used 1 time, with dually adaptors, and bunch of other odds and ends. — Ben is ridin a horse at the punkin patch - got my t-shirt. Youth small? Ben can wear it.

100 series new brake pads // passenger cv axle swap, checked the drivers side when the PO had it replaced. Yeah, none of the tabs are bent. Then a swap out on the 3500 ram - steering bits. And a piece of wood to keep the floor looking pretty!

Out on the bay! Brother Larry and wife Angie came down for a vacation. Skipped work and took them out on the skis. Little cool - it very nice day.

 

[landcrusiergod1]

Still having gotten to the FJ55, the 100 series has been the main focus for the KAT next month. The trans is still out on the FJ40. Decided to attempt the rebuild by myself for the 700r4. It’s not going great, learning and doing at the same time is slow. Have a 4 runner body swap and motor swap next up in the shop. After that then the Pig comes home.

Making some of the tools as I go. … c clips and spring yay!
