I like the FJ, why did you go with mopar green?

I've just always liked that color. It's not easy being green

Well I don't have any build pics of the 40 (kermit) as I have built it a little here and a little there. But as for specs, The front axle is a dana 60 with a lock-rite, rear is a 14 bolt with a gov-lock. with 4.11 gears. The front suspension is a homebuilt non wristed y-link with a panhard bar built with 1.5 in..250 wall D.O.M. with 60,000 lbd hiems. The front shocks are 16" sway-a-way dual-rate coil-overs, I have them set for 4" uptravel and 12" of drop. The rear is reversed stock leafs, (to stretch wheel base) S.O.A.
Tires are a 37x12.50x17 cooper stt. With alcoa lookalike aluminum wheels.
It gets it's movement from a .30 over slightly massaged 350 chevy. Trans is a 465 4 speed with a twin sticked 205.
Also has a York compressor, ready welder, Gps, interior aircraft lights, 8274 warn winch, and a full roll cage.

I have had this thing for a long time and use it ALOT. I built it for deep snow runs, rocks, trail runs, and 70 mph on the highway. It does all very very well and scores a whopping 1306 on a 30 degree ramp!

Thanks for looking .....Rod
