Almost 6 years ago I purchased a FJ62 and almost immediately started to build it up. Below is a link to that build.
Mark's FJ62 build
Since that time, I have done several LS powered projects, two of those were LX450’s that I documented here on IH8MUD. I loved the way the FJ62 looked and really enjoyed the power the L33 5.3 give me, I found myself driving the LX450 a lot more than the FJ 62 due to how smooth the LX rode and how much better steering control I have with the LX450.
After my last LX450 build I ended up with a spare locked 80 series frame and running gear. Sooo, I decided to merge the two together to create my new daily driver.

I removed the frame at my lake house and did not have a lift.. so I old school it...
