[destin]

Rear sill and support are on their way from CCOT.

 

[foxfab]

I'll need to do some small mods to make it FJ25 compatible, but its a nice piece.

My tires are 3 days from port according to Chris at Gallagher Tire. Then a few days to get to Pa. Then a few days to get to me. Woo Hoo!

I was wondering about that, wanted to see pictures................slow boat?

 

[foxfab]

VERY slow boat ironically named the "Thailand Express". I'm not joking.

I also have a PM into TRDparts4u to order a set of OME shocks.

 

[foxfab]

The first cut is always the hardest..

 

[foxfab]

I measured down 14" from the top on both sides which put me about an inch above any rust. I used an air cut off wheel to make the cuts on the body and an air chisel to break/cut the welds underneath the floor.

[foxfab]

Hey! I bought that thing for the soft top bows that turned out to be useless.

I'm sure glad I never did anything like that More Land Cruisers than I can count with my fingers on both hands and still wondering how it happened

 

[foxfab]

They are officially on US soil. I pick them up friday.

Post a pic of the in progress sill replacement. I expected to see the back of the truck bouncing around last weekend.

those tires are going to look great....remember us...pics pics pics

Jim sorry about the PO plug...couldnt resist

would love to do a side by side by side of tops at fg2012...i've marked it on the calender....however...i only have partial say when it comes to calender stuff

however...i believe you guys will put mine to shame

 

[foxfab]

I'll just be happy that i can go on the highway and not be at 3100 rpm and i can get less crap for having the smallest Cruiser at FG. The sales guy Chris said that he thought the tread design was cool. Since i'm buying direct from the distributor, they are shipping them to Chris' house in MA and he is gonna meet me to do the deal. I'm hoping to drive ODIE to get them so he can appreciate the vehicle that they are going on.
