Howdy-
I have a line on a good low mile fj40, tub is totally crapped out. I was thinking of making it into a 45 long bed, with removable bed for a flatbed rear too.
I was wondering if stretching the frame is feasable for the average garage mechanic with good welding skills? Anyone know of this kind of conversion being done before? I thought I saw something like this in an old edition of TT, but cant seem to find the article, it may have been a readers rides issue.
I was also wondering if it would be easier to mount an fj40 body to a FJ60 or Fj55 frame instead of lengthening a 40 frame?
Thinking out loud... any thoughts?
