Damn this thing is coming along great, It looks amazing right not cant even tell you how jealous I am haha. Been looking to pick up a fj for over a year now but cant find anything for under 8000 around my town... Nice job!

 

you checked on ih8mud? we have alot of members from canada on there. my dream rig went for sale a few months back and was cheaper by a couple thousand than i have invested in mine

your lucky that your in canada and can find a bj40 easily.

 

Ill have to check it out there and see if I can find something. Thanks

 

got to drive it ~200 miles before i moved up to dallas a few weeks back, still trying to find a place to keep it up here.

i did have to make some shackles for the fronts, the stocks were unfortunately too short so i made some that were 2" longer, eventually probably pull them off and go down to 1" over instead to drop it ~.5"

going to buy a winch for it tomorrow evening, found a warn 5687 (original design for the warn 8274) on ih8mud for a good deal. going to rebuild it over the semester and then have a bumper fabbed up as well over the holiday brake.

made it up to 4wp and measured for shocks before i moved. did pretty well, thinking about removing a leaf from each pack to get it a little more flexy. really need to get it on a trail before i make any decisions though. ended up with bilstein 5100's and 5125's.





TLCC-Houston august meet.

 

That's is so sick

 

Very Cool!

 

hell yeah garrett!

 

thanks for the compliments.

 

 

veeeery cool man! you did a great job for sure

 

how did it hold up on the trails garret?

 

better than i expected, did every single thing i attempted except for one mud hole which was about 2 feet deep and 12 feet long (length of cruiser). had no issues in the mud just couldn't get over this 2.5 ft tall vertical wall, but i did learn a few things i'd like to get done but no complaints for it's first trip out.

out performed a jeep tj as well

 

That thing is pretty hot.

 

Must have been driver error on his part

Jeep <3
