Hello,
I am fairly new to the MUD board and have been lurking during that time. I have been a member of the Pirate's board for a while and got a lot of information there concerning my 40, but once I bought my 80 the MUD board has much more information. I would like to thank everyone who's contributions to this board have helped me so far.
My Cruisers are a red 1970 FJ 40 that I have had for over ten years. It has a TBI Chevy 350 and a TH400 tranny. It is sprung over on stock springs and currently on 33s, but will go up to 35s or 36s soon. Fabtech cut and turned front axle with 4X4 Labs frombe steering, Saginaw steering gear, and disk brakes. Rear axle has Paul Decker's anti-wrap bar and CV driveshaft. Family roll cage, home built sliders with nerf bars, CO2 tank, home made front and rear bumpers, home made belly pan. Full hard top and bikini top. Roof rack that attaches to either hard top or roll cage. Bucket seats, dash box and Tuffy center console.
I also have a 1994 white FZJ80 with 136,000 miles that I have only had since April. It has lockers, leather, no factory roof rack, sunroof, rear sliding windows but no rear seats. Pretty much the way I wanted. I have put on an OME 2.5 inch heavy lift, 285/70 Big O ATs, speedo correction gear, Slee skid plate, CDL switch with 7th pin mod., hand throttle. To do soon are PHH and temp. gauge mod. In the pipe are Metaltech sliders, 4X4 Labs front and rear bumpers, maybe a roof rack and MAF 24 gallon aux. tank. If it got better mileage it would be the perfect vehicle. Can't have everything though.
Thanks again for all the info.
