Finally got the wheels power coated, they are no yet mounted in the fj but they look really good.

What type/size tires are you running on those? Was just wondering if you had to have the rims widened. Looking good! - JP

Thanks. They are 36x12.5R15 on factory unmodified 15 out of a 60 and then power coated white

And then the cut and turn. I'm still working on it but most of it is done I just have to weld the shock mounts,the steering stoppers, paint and install the steering

Just out of curiosity, since you're adding the wheel spacers, why didn't you go with 60 series axles?

Damned nice work.

I was unhappy with the paint on the 40 so I decided to give it one more try to get the freedom red color that I was looking for, I think it was a success
