FJ40 winter build project

[bendersfab]

Well now that winter is here I am finally getting around to tearing into the 40.
My plan right now:

Swap out rear axle for FJ60 rear end (to match front)
Re-Gear to 4:88 gears
Stretch wheelbase using FJ55 rear springs and relocated shackle hangers
Finish welding the new driver side floor pan
Mount roll cage and seats with crow harness
And so on and so on..........

Here are a few pics of what I got goin on so far.......

Sturdy cage! How much does it weigh?

Looks like a nicely equipped shop with plenty of space. Great project.
