Top SECRET FJ55 build for an injured friend

[Slowerthanu]

Updates needed, don't force me to post my craptastic garage phone pictures.

She drives awesome btw. Rides great, good power and the hydroboost is phenomenal.

I'm trying to find the time for updates and pics. My brother is doing awesome. He's actually walking short distances, he through his cane away after 2 days!

It drives great, really decent power and the 700R4 really drops the rpm, can't complain about the 3.95 first gear either.

The hydroboost brakes are nuts, it stops hard.

You gonna do anything to the body? Specifically, the front right quarter panel?

Yes, those are old photos now. We cut and tacked in a fill panel. The rig is going to be rhino lined from the dark paint line down to help cover the rust and protect it. This includes the front tube fenders.

I have grown up a huge fan of the Mad Max series of films so as soon as this rig was as you see it, I was in love. It just looked fitting to me.

I'm planning on having some Mad Max style bumpers and protection built for my pig too.

That pig is looking good, can't wait to see it done.

This would not have happened without all of the help. None of this would have been a reality without Wasatch Cruisers, the members of IH8mud and the Cruiser owners that make this community special.

Stevan called me the other day and the conversation turned to his LandCruiser. Now, imagine the tension knowing that he has no clue and yet here we are discussing all of the cool things he wants to do.

I got so excited for his that I dumped a ton of money into mine and it flippin' snowed all weekend.

Nice job, makes me want to start another project

It worked for me, I've installed my propane system, removed my body lift, bought tires, beadlocks, tube fenders, trail gear knuckles, body mounts blah blah blah blah.

Stevan has cost me more money and skin on my knuckles than he will ever realize.

Sorry guys, here's a little update. We've got the traction bar built, Dan's 35" MTR's on, and started on the fine tuning, and my good friend Carl has been hammering away at the body work. Steve is doing awesome. He's pushing hard to try and get back to work, and seems a lot more optimistic!!! Here's a few pics for you guys. Anyone know of any really cheap deals on a selectable locker?

 

[ONDAROX]

Here's a few more pics. Still not finished, but there's light at the end of the tunnell!

We've had a few people mention that the PayPal link wasn't working. So I'm going to test my computer skills and see if I can re-do this.
