Very cool! Congrats!
Not to hijack, still a long way off from yours, but slowly getting there... Really need to start a thread on this build.

Reading this thread is better than any auto magazine. Awesome job on the rig.
The 4bt is interesting, but give me a modern SBC any day.

3BT (b3.3 turbo)
Smaller and quieter. Less power but more than enough for this size rig.
Give me diesel any day
Agreed, I'll take diesel any day!
Just read through the whole thread, loving the build so far. Im more of a traditionalist myself, but I can always appreciate a purposeful rig like this done to a high standard.
I may have missed it, but what color is it going to be?
I wanted to go diesel, but it wasn't in the cards. How are the Mojaves working out? Any rubbing issues?
Did you make those your self?
They look great.. Hope to have a set like that in my truck some day

FJSeattle, who makes the rims you have on your 40...?? Are they Ions..? What size are the rims and tires you have as well...? They aren't BFG's right? They definitely look good...
Seat riser looks great! Also looks like you are starting a cage? More info....

American Racing Mojave shod with Toyo Country M/S. This has been covered in the thread, search for the those keywords
Cage is going forward as we speak. Doing some cool custom stuff (full hoops in front, removable from the body but tying into the frame, harness bar, etc.)
More pics to come.
Very cool, who is doing your work? That seat riser looks like a piece of artwork! Love this thread...

A local porsche shop is doing the cage (Cantrell Motorsport), their fabricator does a lot of off road work on the side. Anybody else having issues logging into the site and getting access? Their are some permission bugs for me. This is the only thread that shows for me in the 40 Tech forum.
Wow, that is great looking and beefy cage! Really has the Icon Baja edition look to it.
