Builds FJ60 1-ton Superduty build

[sixty]

Way to go Sixty! Your wagon looks like like it had sex w/ a CORR race truck (wide track, mud beadlocks, etc)

Hmmm... maybe that was what that squeeking was a few months ago in my garage

Thanks!

[sixty]

From the sound of it there was a little pitching & catching going on from both rigs... some sort of twisted transformers gayporn...

You guys are sick!

That where the rear shocks are mounted?Pics?

Nope, the shocks are all just hanging. I still need to fab up mounts & may go with some shorter shocks so I can get them more vertical. Anyone have any 12" travel shocks that they would part with for cheap?

last weekend I blacked out the wheels and they look better, still ugly though! This morning I replaced the fusible link since mine was pretty rotted.

I've done a little driving & the hummer tires suck! I can drive 2 or 3 miles and they still have flat spots. Way worse than any TSL's I've experienced. I'm thinking 39.5" iroks or 38X12.5 tsl's. Won't be for a while though

Took the rig out for a test run last night. Ran very well & the low gears are AWESOME! I still need to build an anti-wrap bar, redo my york system to operate the front arb, build some bump stops & few other things. I think I'm going to bend the wraps over on the rear springs, since at droop it puts alot of stress on the main leaf. bump steer sucks, I have to figure out a high steer setup. I climbeb a 3' calleche ledge & bent my front fender up. Here's a few poser pics:

I'm weak

In case anyone is interested, about 6 months ago (& 30 miles after the build) the TBI350 developed a loud tick in the valve train & started running like crap. I tossed up a 4bt or 6bt conversion but after driving a chipped Duramax for the last 6 months I need some real power without the monster drivetrain & frame eating torque. I picked up a Built 385 stroker last Saturday (see pics below)

My plan is to run a 454 TBI & modified EBL ECM tuned to be able to pass smog & hopefully have close to 400hp & 440tq. It has tons of goodies in it & I got a great deal on it. The cam is pretty big but hopefully with the EBL it will be tunable.

Once that is done I have to address the steering & trim the fenders to accept some larger tires.

Oooo roller rockers

I think you are gonna need those tall valve covers....

 

[sixty]

I can get away with standard valve covers with the rockers if don't install girdles. It looks like the tall one will clear the a/c with about 1/4" to spare
