Right? I’ve sold a couple hundred worth of random stuff off of it so far. I plan on keeping the engine, trans, and t-case for future endeavors, but COULD sell it and recoup most of my expense. Also pulling a bunch of other stuff off for the parts stash. And bolts. Tons of spare bolts.

It’s still visible. Thought I’d taken a pic, but can’t find one.

Passenger side, eh?

Can’t remember if I posted pics of the low-pro perches I made. In an effort to win or at least get nominated for the Scrapdaddy Repurposed Material Award, I made these out of the 2-1/2” x 1/4” square tubing from one of my old rocker/sliders. Also wanted to keep the little brake line p-clamp mount from the stock perches.
Measured out where the center of the new perches needed to be 11/16” inboarded from where they were originally, and set the pinion angle to 5 degrees. Didn’t check what it was originally, but the 55 rear sits right around zero. Perches are just tacked for now.

Love the low profile perches!
5 degrees on rear pinion going with CV in the rear shaft?

Not planning on it. We’ll see where it sits a little later on before making any rush decisions.

While I’ve got you here @PabloCruise , wanted to get your .02 on this. Robbed the charcoal canister off the 60 to see about setting it up for this project. It has 4 ports. The one on the bottom goes into the frame. Also looks to be some sort of electrically controlled valve.
Would you recommend using this or emulating it?

Here’s a pic of the bottom line going into the frame rail, which I thought was strange.

Love the D. Gore u bolt flip kits. look great! Reminds me I should probably install mine 1 day!

I thought flanges need to be parallel or else need CV joint?

It could be good...
Don’t worry about the bottom line, the cans need to be at atmospheric pressure so that engine vacuum can suck off vapors when the time is right.
The vapors want to rise to the top of the can, so no worries having the bottom open to atmosphere, the vapors won’t escape.
Also, if you severely overfill your tank, and pressure pushes liquid gasoline into the can, it will run out the bottom.

We can probably ditch the control valve, it depends on how you want to purge this can.

the simplest hook up for the top is incoming line from tank with vapors, and purge line connected to some form of engine vacuum.

What engine are you going to run? I forgot...

I’m not sure that has been disclosed yet? Or I forgot...

One of the best mods ever!

They can be out of parallel up to a few degrees by my understanding, otherwise the pinion needs to point at the t-case, and I’m not quite sure where that’s gonna end up.

Do you have an evap diagram for the engine?

Not saying it's a problem but gasoline vapors are heavier than air and want to sink unless they are warmer than the surrounding air. My FJ55 canister looks just like that 60 canister on the bottom. Not sure where the line goes that it's hooked to.

The 55 canister only has two nipples on top. In from the tank and out. Mine goes to the air cleaner housing just above the carburetor. I agree you can probably ditch the valve.

Not presently, but sure I can come up with something after some digging around the inter-web.
