I fish plated the frame at the motor mounts and where I added the power steering. As far as width, not too big a deal, need to be worried about the height of the motor and the contact between the oilpan and diff. I used FJ 60 axles for the disc brakes, which gives you a wider stance, since the...

Hairy apple, Beautiful pictures! Just the type of country I want to see first hand, Thank You,

Good job! Something to hold them up and get them nervous, so they move on.

CreeperSleeper, Just add a 5.3 Vortec and a 5 speed, good to go.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments. Zimm, I agree, but if you leave them unattended with that hole in fender, means the rockers, gutters, body mounts are all shot and the doors are sagging at the hinges. You don't have very long to enjoy the patina before it's useless, especially in the...

Here's some pictures of my 71, it's going on 4 years, but getting closer. Starting to rebuild all the door workings and getting all the glass cut now.

Puma for me. Front and rear air lockers and an air chuck. Mounted in the back of my 55.

I've got a 71 M35, also and enjoying your build. Question... Who did you source the tires and wheels from and are you planning on a spare tire?

I'm using aftermarket seats and frame, so I made two lockable drawers that hold my 40 and plenty of ammo.

My 55 has them punched in. my opinion, it looks a little cleaner than the bolted on ones.

Thanks for the pictures! Always good to see something different. I sure wouldn't like to tow that trailer with what he has.

LR Max, It's still not on the road, so can't review yet. With all the products, inside and out, it's made the vehicle very solid. No " tinny " sounds when knocking on a door or fender, etc. I even treated under the hood, very nice.

I sprayed Lizard Skin sound deadener and LS ceramic heat control, then sprayed Tinted Monstaliner over all of it. I don't think it's a good idea to spray bedliner over a padded foil type sound control product. I did both sides of the floor and the inside roof. All doors and fenders, firewall...

When you drill and sleeve the tongue, just weld an opposing wedge to the tongue, thereby making a flat surface. Fun project.

Thanks Guys! Hey Kurt, she has some of your parts on her. If it wasn't for guys like you, Georg, Marv, CDan, Beno, this craziness we call our hobby, wouldn't get too far. Thanks Man!

Brought my 55 home from the painter today. Long way to go, but very pumped to move on to the next headache.

Great pictures! You are lucky to have parents, that had an adventurous spirit. Seems you inherited the same. Good luck on your travels.

Very cool trip! I'd be interested in hearing about your trailer, also. I will be building a M101 for my FJ55 and wondering about long distance pulling. You must be having a great time. Good travels,

I've enjoyed every post, as well. Thanks for sharing a part of your lives with us. I pray everything works out for you two.
