I cant wait to see this come together.

What did you ever work out about the 4wd actuator?

 

[lowtideride]

Alright got some pics for you guys...As you can see I got all the body mounts cut off and its almost ready to roll under the body. As for the vac assembly, I have to cut it in half reweld it and add a dust boot. I will post a pic when I do it. I think if I was running a toy box I could get away with out it because it would push the t-case back further where it would clear better.

Here is my brother finishing up wiring his project 40s wiring harness. Better him then me

As for the surfboard...will do. Just gotta finish glassing the bottom of it.

Dude, you've had too many Cruisers into and out of your yard getting taken apart, chopped up, swapped around, converted, etc. I have been following this thread but I got confused with the madness. What is getting what again???

Rolled the whole thing... I was just huffing those spray cans under the tarp



All kidding aside.. I rolled it on with a 2 inch sponge roller after sanding the whole frame with 200grit. The spray cans where mostly clear coat cans for other crap I was spraying.

Haha...

( the short answer) This is an fj80 frame, axles, suspension getting thrown under a 62, that is getting a 6inch slee lift and an h41.

You need a diesel for this build. 1HDT or somethin'.

 

[FJ60_cruiser]

1HDT? men if he throws a 1HDT in there he's goiing to build the rig of my dreams and also a tank!!!!

 

[johnkappus]

i've been watching this thread for a while and i KNEW it was a super creative ambitious project but i forgot just exactly what was happening here too.

thanks for the reminder!

keep up the good work...looks like a fun project!

 

[lowtideride]

I wiiiiissshhh it was a diesel as well. I was going to get a 4bt for the 80 but instead dropped the money on a 62 and dreamed up this crazy plan...

Alrighty since people kinda forget what is going...

This is an fj80 frame, axles, suspension
all under a 62 body with a BJ dash
60 series head lights and grill
drivetrain is the 3fe/ozzy h41/62 case with manual linkage( twin stick)
Its getting an 6inch slee lift/control arm flip/ cut n turn
37in MTRs on stock 91-92 fj80 wheels
well thats all the big things with all the little details in between...



thanks for all the good words..

Its good. We just took for a drive last night for the first time. He is going to need the beefest track bar in the world. Such a light set up and such a big motor( with soft springs). I though the thing was gonna snap a pinion in the drive way when he got on it. It needs a few tweeks here and there but will be road worthy soon. Swing by when you can, I know working nights woulllldddd suck.

Ill grab some pics tonight when I get home from work..
