Appreciate the effort! BTW, does the 4.7 run a e-fan or is it direct driven off the crank with a belt drive?Yes, but not by much. Maybe 1/4-1/2".
I will see if I can find any. I don't remember taking any, but it was pretty easy. I just used some 2x2 square tubing on the top of the OEM radiator supports, then attached my radiator to that.
Thanks!

This build is a good example that no matter what you want out of your fj40, if done right you end up with a unique and desirable vehicle. Whether it is a completely original example or a build done to a very modern taste the value in the vehicles remain. This level of build is beyond most of us for multiple reasons but provides an example that there is an fj40 for every style and all are appreciated.
First class work just like your 40. I find myself saying "wow" as I keep seeing the little details.
Really great trailer! Super stout, must weigh a ton. Are those Durham drawers? I have a bunch I use in my shop, really sturdy. No issues rattling out of their slider trays?
Great job Riley!!
I can see the joy in Shondelle's and Onxy's faces!!
Bravo - reading this thread has been thoroughly satisfying
Looks great. It's nice that your actually using it for what you made it for. Some people build awesome rigs, then are afraid to actually use them.
Could you elaborate on the rear springs? Are they the CS001R or the 002R? How is the pinion angle and such with those shackles? I have the exact same shackles and was looking to run OME springs. Your ride height looks exactly like what I am looking for. Amazing build as well!
So I see the rotopax on your 4 plus cooler carrier, I have the same 4 plus as well. Did the rotopax mount bolt directly to the baskets provided holes, or did you have to drill to mount? Nice set up!
Great build!
Very Impressive! What's your next project?
You will be seeing a new thread soon. Next project beginning next week.
It will be a long travel FJ45 with a iForce 3UR 5.7. Cab, chassis, and motor already procured. Long travel ordered last Friday. It will be a high speed desert truck with 17" of travel.
