Oh, no! Keep the photos flowing. They're great! IMHO, you've got an exceptional FJ62!
That is quite the update after a year. Your truck looks great, I love those red 62's.
Good job! What is your favorite upgrade so far?
haha, I know, it's pretty giant. The roof rack hasn't arrived yet, but once it does - it should line up better.Holy ladder!! Beautiful truck.
Thanks man, yeah the rock sliders had to be worked around. The original wheels had a bit of surface rust and so we just cleaned them up and powder coated them satin black.Was your exhaust rerouted to allow for the Rock sliders? That's an impressive list of upgrades. Great photos, looks awesome except I prefer the stock wheels.
Man, that's a lot in a year.
Do you feel the gain in HP with the 5 speed? I sense an opportunity for a nice knob upgrade (wood?).
That suspension has like a million leaf springs, I guess it's needed with the large gas tank. Also glad to see they raised the LSPV bracket when they installed the lift, most don't think about that. Did the axle get rebuilt or just painted?
I guess if you have a F-350 then you're probably looking for that center console to be huge. I'd just keep the OEM center console, the it looks like you refurbished it.
yeah it’s a lot more peppy with the 5 speed though with the gear ratio 1st gear runs out by the time I’ve traveled like 10 feet. In big intersections I’m practically in 3rd by the time I hit the other side.
The suspension feels great. A lot softer than my f350 - that’s for darn sure.
the glove box was just cleaned is all, the latch is still busted. I ordered a Tuffy 6.5” Center console and @orangefj45 is going to fab up a mounting bracket for it.
@TexFJ if you’d like to pick out a nice wood shifter knob for me I’d be happy to let you know how well it works.
Those are cool. I'd go for the one with the diagram on the top if they have it for 5 speed. Have you found someone selling it?Perhaps this one for you to match the red paint...

I'm looking for an H55 version of this one.

great looking rig!!! Im found of Freeborn Red myself!! What did you do for suspension? Shackles/leafs?
I just looked at my records and I don't see if it was the medium or heavy OME kit. Georg at Valley Hybrids would be able to point you in the right direction though. For the shocks it looks like we have the Billstein 24-065283 and 33-185590.Do you know which Emu?
