"El Rojo Grande" FJ62 build up thread

[MoGas]

I figured I'd start a build up thread for the wife's 62.

The Beginning:

Came with some "Maypop" 33s, studded no less. In May.

Mod 1:
BGF AT/KO in a 31/10.50-15 flavor.

Pretty good shape for a 20 year old car.

I have a set of OME Dakar springs and a Mile Marker 9K winch coming. I hope to find a used ARB. I'll be fabbing my own rear bumper/tire carrier setup with my buddy Noah's help. Other than that, we are still deciding on a snorkel or not and interior mods.

^Like the color!!

That is one clean rig!

Bumbers will look nice.....Can't wait to see what you and your buddy have cooking for a rear bumper!

:bowdown:

man I love the 60's I miss mine bad. I will be watching your build.

That thing is really clean. Nice find.

Nice looking rig, I wouldn't change a thing...but then we would not be spending time here..:sombrero:

Nice rig, very clean. I'm curious as to what your time-line is for this build? Can't wait to see it modded

I'm in no hurry. The springs are ordered, but I have an Elk hunt in a couple weeks and I am preparing for that right now. I also have to figure out what wheels and tires to run. The black wagon wheels, stock chromies, or 16" Oz splitties.
I'm waiting for a guy to order his other front bumper so I can get his old ARB.
If that falls through, I'll probably just fab one up. I have a 9K MileMarker that I was going to use in a rear bumper on the 80, but I think it will go on the 62. I was working with my buddy this weekend on a rear bumper. I may put ARB lockers in it too. I also have a Con Ferr rack that will probably go on the 62 until I get a rear bumper built with a pintle for the M416.

Let's say, when it's done...you take the wife and kiddos down through Mexico for a holiday...
