Update:. In the process of moving to Oregon from Alaska. Have all my rigs down here now including my 40 and my 80. 40 still has a way to go. Wiring in the lm7 and getting fuel system and then a few smaller things. Waiting for home to sell before I buy here. Hope to find a place with a decent...

Well besides the power steering I already added, yes. If I can come across some FJ80 steering stuff I will swap that in.

Front hangers are in. need to box the rest of it in.

36's is about as big as I need to go..maybe 37's. The lift I have will accomidate that easily.

Got the garage a little bit setup, at least enough to tinker on the FJ40. Sometimes you need to go back to move forward towards the correct goal. In this case FJ60 axle going in (2.75 inches wider and bigger knuckles) and a shackle reversal. I will be outboarding the spring hangers to match the...

Been a little busy as of late.Will be retiring from the Army in a couple months so it was time to put down some roots. Bought a house up here in Alaska, plenty of time moving and still settling in. Hope to get the garage setup and get back to work on the FJ40 soon. View from the deck Front...

hahaha, those plates actually are a decent size. You can actually see where the spring sat on them. As for the TG diff armor, I just split the weld they had a bit and got it to the angle I wanted. It should serve its purpose. Right now I am buried in another project, a 2003 4Runner with a...

Got my hands on an 85 FJ60 front axle..wider, beefier. Ordered up some stuff from Craig at Ridgeline using Trail Gears 15% off and walla. Modified a small diff cover to work, made a cap for it to keep crap from sitting in it. Cut off the sway bar mounts, welded in the steering stop braces and...

After a brief hiatus playing with my new to me 96 FZJ80 I got back into working on the FJ40. ARB repaired my ARB compressor and it is back in, need a new positive battery connector and I can test it. I finished welding in the tabs for mounting the seats, Walmart budget console and seat belts...

Yup, that was from this weekends camping trip :awesomework: This guy was chillin about a mile from our camp spot. My buddy set a bait barrel for black bear but this but hit it, and we found his moose kill site about 20 feet off the trail. you could just wheel for years up here and...

Plan on getting back into my FJ40 this weekend. Had a couple things show up and still due in (ARB still has my compressor). I did get a chance to take out my 96 FZJ80 on one of the tamer trails up here. Fairbanks Creek is the name of it. Enjoy some pics of Alaska's version of Tahuya...minus the...
