Builds The LF40 Wheeler Build - Twin Turbo & 8 Speed Auto FJ40 (3 Viewers)

Nothing big on my 40, but i helped @Mike Shull get a cage built for his 40. Was a lot of fun and it went super well.

I also got my basket case lathe up and going this weekend which I am super excited about.

You need to clean that thing.

Clean tools are happy tools

It's dirty for sure. I really need to sit down and get it clean again. It came out of a shop that processes graphite for carbon arc rods, mainly for steel foundries. Everything there was covered in it. It's been washed once before moving in, but I haven't given it a good cleaning yet cause I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth scrap or not lol.

Early in my aviation days I learned that they might not fly any better clean but damm sure don't fly any worse.

This was a lot of fun and the cage turned out amazing. I haven’t done much to the cage since you left but I did get 4 LED interior light brackets in yesterday. Thanks again for the help, DJ.

Awesome roll cage.

I hope you never have to use it.

Finally got the 40 in to mount the rear bumper.

It looks great. Enough angles to look good, but still fit on a 40.

Side mounts.

Center mount. Need to clean up the frame a bit under there.

Nice form! Looks like it was designed that way! Love seeing the creative ideas!

 

[DangerNoodle]

Pulled the bumper off to weld out the mounts.

Welded out.

Waiting on a pair of flush mount lights, then off to sand blast and I'll powdercoat it.

Where are you going to put your spare?

Where are you going to put your spare?

I've never really carried a spare, but I'm debating about making a oemish one that will accept a 37-40.

I just recently heard a story that explained that it’s a reference to snakes. Never crossed my mind before that moment…
