Replacement frames?

I have seen and bookmarked this site a while ago;

Steel FJ40 Frame- [LCS5000] : Cruiser Solutions, custom cruisers, restorations, genuine Toyota parts, body tubs, used Land Cruisers for sale

Don't know about being heavy duty.

EDIT: Roberto posted the same company while I was answering the phone, so this far we have one company?

THat sounds nice (heavy but nice).

How dow a standard 40 series frame compare to an 80 series frame?

dont know. i wanted a frame with all the hard points the same, but longer in the cowl area to match a custom fiberglass tub. stretching a 40, or cutting a 45, for the 5 behind the seat isnt an issue, but the extra 3 in the cowl area is. i wanted everything else to be "bolt on". an 80 frame sounds like a fitting nightmare. if time is money, a custom frame is cheaper. at least thats what i was thinking.

His web page is no longer valid. He may have closed shop like many other suppliers with a limited customer base. I can find no match for Matkins Extreme in Montana. It is ashamed as he made awesome frames with any modification and finish you could want.

I'm fairly certain the frames Cruiser Solutions sells are the Matkins frames. Or at least they were. They were building a truck using one of them when I was at their shop one time a few years back. Very beefy.

the frames that cruiser solutions I believe are the ones made by Aqualu. They started selling them about the same time that Aqualu came out with their frames.
