Very heartwarming to see the doors and the tailgate installed. Excellent looking rig. I hope you enjoy the products.

tires

Nice thread. I also am doing a mustard 40. Contemplating running wagon wheels, but I really like the stock hubcaps. how big are those tires? And also are those stock rims? Thanks

Rudz took the hard line on that, shoulda hugged it more left side and crawled over that rock. To be fair, we did it in LWB trucks...

true!:idea:
 
Very nice build bull! nothing to add really other than I look forward to seeing the sliders and fenders... will make it nice. Also, the Paki parts add a sweet style to your late model trail rig! Good choice!
 
I love it! I just picked up a '79 to build. It needs a lot of work, but I'm excited for it. If you don't mind, I would love to have some hi-res pics of yours to hang on the shop wall... I know I'm going to need all of the motivation I can get! Mine is in bad shape...

Your FJ looks amazing:eek: and the trails u :steer: on look very much the same as some we run in here in Tasmania.:steer:
Keep up the pictures please they are inspiring.:clap:
 
Your's looks a lot like my 77. I love the build. It may inspire me to spend even more money than I already have, but with the baby coming the wife will not be pleased. :) I ran the LTB's with the same lift before the resto and they are great tires - they'll flat-spot overnight, but after a mile or 2 they'll round out. I ran mine at about 15 psi to keep my teeth from rattling out of my head. Looking forward to seeing more, especially if you're doing a 4 link.
