Gossamer- '87 FJ60 aka "The Red Monster"

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Ha, no bumper on Goss, the cobbler's children have no shoes.

Maybe he needs to get in on the Christmas presents.[emoji2]

His rear bumper is built and in the shop. Front is designed and pieces are cut, just need some more time. Like I said, I have a 2 week time window that I want to get things taken care of. Once I get the shop 60/62 his armor will go on and stay on. Just tired of taking it on and off for other builds..

Just like the mechanic on the block ... his car never runs or always needs work....

HA!

How true

We woke up to a WHITE CHRISTMAS! So, fired Goss up, ran to the liquor store (always open here) then shoveled a little snow, plugged the 4BT in for the first time this year and put the battery on charge.

Merry Christmas ALL!

That Goss is so much better than Santas Sleigh! Merry Christmas.

YES IT IS!!

Every year the BIL and I buy a bottle of it and a few nice cigars when we go to Vegas..

J

Very nice. Do you know much about cigars or do you just buy so,etching expensive?

G, My BIL is the cigar aficionado. I do know that most medium bodied cigars will over power the silky smoothness of the JWB. But, that same medium bodied cigar goes great with a glass of 12, 18 or 25 year Macallan or JW black, double black, green, gold or platinum. Brings out the flavor of the scotch and compliments it.

So, we have been smoking a MonteCristo White, M.C Jr. or M.C. Master and occasionally a Romeo y Julieta Exhibicon with the JWB and sticking to a Cohibo Exquistos for most other scotches and bourbons...

Well I have my last 80 bumper to build and then I am FREE to play with Goss, the 40s, and more 60 products. I bent some tube today for rear cargo baskets. They will sit between the back of the wheel well and tailgate. I'll post these up in the next day or two.

I hope to finish up my sliders, front bumper, roof rack and get the interior panels made, get the carpet installed and seats and covers back in..

Once this 80 product is built I will shut down for a couple weeks to get a few things done.

Good progress J. I hope you have lots of stress free fun. With lots of beer.

I added 100hp to my FJ60 today. It literally woke it from the dead.

And no it wasn't the Beaver. That only gave me 50.

New motor....

Nice sticker!

 

[klinetime574]

Please... If I did an engine swap I'd have three or four times the horsepower of the 2F. Not double. Lol

The sticker is real nice. It should hold up well to the sun.

HEE HEE!!

Yes, the stickers are UV protected. Time will tell, especially in Texas!

Got my chrome moly axle set from ChiTown today. We bartered a little on his bumper build. These are new old stock G2 CrMo 30/27 spline axles.

I had always read they were Aussie mirrors.. You were the first to tell me Euro and Akella confirmed it. These are still available NEW in the Canadian and Euro markets.. approx 190.00 each side.

190 a side!? God dam thats insanity

Yep! That's why I looked high and low for a used end cap. You can buy the entire assy, but not individual parts.

I'll see if I can hook you up with other sets, I'm looking for heated ones, so mine will be up for grabs later too.
