My 76 fj40 ExPo build up...

[Rezarf <><]

Thanks for all the nice words guys. THanks for posting a few more shots Ike!

Yes, wheeling in the West is about as good as it gets... in my humble experience so far. Utah is unmatched in my eyes.

Desertdude, thanks! Your cruiser's setup is something to shoot for!

And yes, top off, bikini top on, with red canyon walls on either side and dust in your teeth... PRICELESS!

:sunny: :victory:

More with the mods later.

Definitely a nice looking 40 Rezarf.

Took a break today from building my trailer and decided to give my old fj40 some new love.

My lovely wife gave me some Hella 4000's for Christmas, and today I gave them a new home. I started with a bumper I had laying around in the garage for years, cut off the ends, welded them shut, added a hoop and recovery points and Whoa-LA!

I have the long version and detailed build up, over on mud.

Which aux. tank are you going to be running? I ask because I am trying to find someone that is running the 28 gal. MAF tank that goes under both seats, seems like a good way to keep the extra gas low and centered in the vehicle.

I have the old Con-Ferr Style 22 gallons under the bed.

Back from powder coat...

Cool thing is I have a friend with access to an industrial powder coating setup through his school, soooooo, he coated it for me for free!

Now to mount up the winch, fairlead, and my new Hella 4000's

Trying to get the following done before Cruise Moab 08:

Finish my trailer!
Build some sliders.
Add a cooler rack to my tire carrier.
Hi-lift jack mount on spare carrier.
Install my 22gal aux tank.
Cargo/wheelin' box for the back of the 40. Hard mount my fridge.

So much to do, so few saturdays!

Looking great. I'm sure the added protection and light will be welcome.
Cheers,
