South's FJ40 "Rebuild" (1 Viewer)

[southff4]

Looks like I'm gonna have to cook you up some reduction and traction!

Fo reals!

Nice 40!

Build looks great. I am actually looking for a clean 40 to restore but after I saw your 80 was for sale I was going to contact you about riding down to get it but then I saw it was already sold. I had already talk the wife into selling her fx35 and driving the LX450. If that deal falls through let me know I want it and would keep it close in Philadelphia, MS.

fenders are pretty jacked up! drew a line, might be were they get cut off. Maybe some pipe bent in to place for support.
Or just order some new ones.....Thoughts suggestions welcome? Got the trans cover off and only broke 1 bolt. Took heater and blower out. Hope to spray some primer this weekend

Thanks Georg! can't wait.

I would not order new regular fenders. Get Metal Tech tube fenders or get the ones from JROB be took off.

Also, those are in good enough shape to sell to someone not as crazy as you.

 

[southff4]

Metal tech fenders are in the works. Thanks to a fellow mudder. My wheels will be here next week. Maybe one day I will get to drive this thing!

 

[Bodean]

What wheels did you buy?

I thought you were doing 37's?

Have to do 37 later when I can upgrade the axels. Longfields and stuff. Maybe next year

 

[southff4]

The Dubs are in and on!!! Thanks Georg!!! And thanks to Bomar for using his Dock!

Wheels look great!!!

Question: These are mini truck front disc, can I get longer studs because they are a little short. The lug nuts still have some thread showing. Any ideas?

They look great!

When I get something good looking I feel I have to repaint the truck. Well it's time for you to repaint your truck ; )

 

[orangefj45]

Put some high quality 1" spacers on it. They will be a bit thinner than the WE wheels and they will not be a negative in any way.

Still picking paint colors. I do have a charcoal gray color I kinda like. Can't decide! Plus my fenders will not be here till after K2.
