So I picked up a 1994, e locker equipped FZJ today. Body has a couple of dents and the interior isn't great, but with 250k miles and good maintenance history, I'm happy. Although the 40 series was fun, it was by no means family friendly.
I have gears, RCV's, rear chromoly's, 4x4 labs front and rear bumpers, and metal tech sliders and ironman suspension on their way.
Plan is a 4" lift, cut fenders, and 39.5's.

I wouldn't have traded. I know what kind of issues I'm getting in to starting from scratch, and I enjoy the build process.
I'll be making my own belly pan. It about $50 worth of steel and two hours of time.

Tires should be in by the end of the week. Five 39.5 iroks out the door with a lifetime warranty for $1825.
I'll be heading down to MetalTech/ Ironman tomorrow to pick up sliders and the 4" lift. Hopefully I'll also have time to pull the truck into the garage and remove the flares and running boards so I can start cutting the fenders for up-travel.

Where did you get your tires? I'm in search of some new rubber.

Awesome thing about the sliders is that they were still warm upon pickup today. LT dragged himself out of his deathbed (he is afflicted with the H1N1 poliated simplex 5 metastasizing flu) to weld them up. Major thanks to the guys at MetalTech and Ironman Offroad.
