I may. If this is ready, NOT going without a cage, but working on that.

I used to take my FJ40 years ago. I am getting married in June, so we will have to see.

Not sure. Heavy. 200lbs. maybe?

I do know with the doors/upper tailgate/glass/etc. it lost ALOT. It pulled the 38's waaaay better on the trip to the store than I thought it would.

Thanks, now to go piss off the girlfriend with new ideas.

Here are the goodies I got in the mail..

 

[72rockcruiser]

Font diff with Lockrite already installed, Chromo birfs, and 2" spacers for the rear to match the front.

 

[72rockcruiser]

Chromo birfs are to replace this..

 

[72rockcruiser]

As you can see, I managed to break a birf with 31's and an open

diff! Even fragged the splines on the inner. Lucky for me, it was

long side, and I have a few from Mini's that were given to me by

friends who I installed 30 splines for in my garage.

Looks good! I just left NC a few months ago. You should check out NC4x4.com. Alot of good info and people over there.

Here are some rear wheelwell trimming pics for those who asked...

 

[72rockcruiser]

Obviously not done yet. Will go higher if i need to after some flex testing. There is ~ 400 lbs of scap metal in the bed in these pics, so it is not quite @ ride height.

And I def. gotta move that fuel pump wiring.

Kyle! Holycrap, your Wu-Tang Swordstyle is impressive.
Man you have made some progress fast. Your new job must be good!
I passed you on Westinghouse a few weeks ago. the 80 looks good/HUGE!

Hows that Old transmission? I may have some interest. May not since i dream of an H55 every night though.

Where you taken those test shots? Id love to tag along.

 

[77cruiser]

Not too bad... Any way you think you could get it lower if you wanted?

well I have stock springs in the rear but an add-a-leaf to the front cause it sat low so if I removed some leaves from the rear it would be about 1 1/2 in lower

but I like the brake over angle now and I'm lower than most the guys I wheel with that run 40's... too much lower and I think I wouldnt make it over some of the bigger ledges out here

any lower would be ALOT of work ... frenched spring mounts or 4 link

Nice!

before you bolt that all up ck the flange on that drop out looks like a small flange I think your 62 is also a round flange like my 60 so the bolt pattern if not correct ... I found out after I bolted the whole front back together
the locker can be swaped over if it not the same flange ... also it makes it a corse spline drop out



p.s. I like the cut swapers

Good eye, its from an FJ40. I got the drivesahft end too, so i'll use that for now, and swap locker over when I re-gear.

The swampers hook! East coast style. Lot of work though. Only done 2 so far.

Thanks!
