This will be updated with more pics plus current ones tomorrow...
Rig description (nitty gritty detail):
everything listed has been done by yours truly
Started with a completely bone stock 10/73 (3spd) FJ40
Under the hood:
original F.5 (in 2F's clothing)
Jim C carb
late 2F electronic ignition
2F waterpump/oil cooler/ t-stat setup
2F fan clutch/7 blade fan
2F valvecover
45 (vs 35) amp alternator
York OBA compressor
Saginaw P/S pump
tranny/tcase:
N.O.S. Military surplus SM420
Spaceghost aluminum plate adapter
Charlie Glabe linkage adapter
freshly rebuilt 3spd tcase
Front Axle:
disc conversion using '79 cruiser knuckles and yooper's knuckle centering SST
Late-Model 27 spline heat treated Longfields
Chro-moly inner axles
EZ-locker (borrowed from David- when he makes me give it back it will get either an Aussie or another ARB, whatever my wallet allows)
Rear Axle:
New gears/bearings
ARB Air Locker
All new drum parts (Thanks Kevin!)
Interior:
Recovered stock buckets (PO)
bedlined floor (crappy PO job
Alpine headunit (cool motorized face deal)
Pair of weatherproof boston speakers
bolted home-made security box
Custom guage panel with liquid filled guages for OBA and switches for the ARB
In-progress full Metal-tech cage
Bear modified rear jump-seat-chuck missing (must have smelled good to him)
Exterior:
In-progress winch bumper
In-progress Metal Tech Radiator hoop
Chassis:
Minitruck P/S
Skyjacker 4" SUA lift
Skyjacker shocks
SOR greasable A.I. shackles
Currently building skidplate and sliders
Coming soon:
re-doing underhood wiring a la Urban Land Cruisers cables with some additions. (relays, aux fuse blocks, external-shunt ammeter)
Springover! (the whole reason for the 420 was to have the gearing for much larger tires than 33's. This project will be for next summer)
