FJ60 PS box location??

I'm putting a 60 series PS box on my 55. I've seen pictures of it done, but don't have measurements. It needs to clear the Coilovers I'm putting on the front. I don't know how critical the location is since I'm making my Tie Rods.

Thinking of a Grey Frame and axles, not Black.

I just did a rattle can test of grey on the frame. I think I'm going to get the frame, axles and rear springs done in some shade of grey. Everyone does Black.

I like the idea of going different than black...

LOVE the old school pics(sorry it is old school to me, im only 25 )

 

[RHINO]

thats really cool cruiserman, i really like how you add the history and past pics.
oh, the steering gear isnt real critical as long as it clears everything.

 

[landcruisnman]

Now I have a place that I can keep my old pics and everyone can check them out as well. Thanks for the tip on the PS box. Praise the Pig !!

It needs to clear the Coilovers I'm putting on the front.

Coilovers w/ a SUA setup? Surely you're kidding, right?

 

[landcruisnman]

The springs will be gone. I'm going to run a 3-link up front and SOA in back. I just haven't got the springs removed yet. Just thinking ahead.

 

[LC_Hamma]

Been a while since I read your thread but you did mention that in the very 1st post. I'd go w/ the Saginaw Scout box rather than the 60 box as it's beefier. Progress is lookin

 

[landcruisnman]

Finally got some time

Well, it's time to do the suspension. I've got it over at my buddy's Fab shop in Oceanside, and we're going to attempt a SOA rear and 3-link front. We've got the old rear out and need to fab up some mounts for the FJ62 springs going in the rear. I'll post more as we go.

Is it snowing in Carlsbad?
