Welcome- Great looking 40! I too love the desert sand color... ...but I am also biased towards the smurf blue! :D Can't wait to see the stock wheelies...:chowtime:

Socal! just read like your whole site! Great write ups and pics man, keep up the good work! :D

Come on up, we have tons of 40's here in Boulder. Not to mention one of TLCA's premiere clubs :D Rising Sun! Be sure to come over and say hi on our local forum. I would suggest looking at why you are only getting 10 mpg. You ought to be getting a bit more than that. I can get 15-17mpg with good...

I certainly don't think you are being overly cautious. I like the above mentioned mods, but using the grade 8 bolts you mentioned will go a long way towards preventing disaster as well. For under 10 bucks you could swap everything over to a grade 8 or high shear bolt no problem. nice looking...

I have no idea where you live but if you are in a marine/boat environment then you might consider getting a few coats for someone to re-gelcoat your nest. Sweet score, can't wait for a few pics. Rezarf <><

After much back and forth, I have decided to go all steel for a few reasons: The cost difference is acutally a bit more than I first considered. Weldability, repairability, "mod"ability. Strength and toughness. No electrolosis. Cost :D I am heading out this week to get the sheets cut and...

Good for you! You are building up one fantastic and capable set up there! I hope to see it in person one day! That is going to look sweet behind your 80 for sure! :drool: Rezarf <><

Thanks for the write up, I really enjoyed the read. Rezarf <><

I have said this before and I'll say it again... :D ...I wouldn't sand blast it and repaint it, I would touch up the rust with a flap disk, prime it those areas and then scuff the rest of the paint and then repaint it. You have a MIL SPEC finish on that trailer, there is nothing else on the...

This is what I am going to mimic in my homemade trailer. I am going to build a set of these style drawers. One side will pull out to be a kitchen. These are called Drifta from Australia...

Sweet! Does it come up on radar? :D

Those look great! Nice job. Is that a trailer in your avatar? How about a pic? Rezarf <><

Very nice! Drew

My favorite is the one long enough to get me out! :D Seriously though I have used some from a farm store for a while and they are really nice for a lot less than the 4x4 shops. Just another .02

Have any pics of peeling the seats to install the heaters? I would love to see that part. I have considered this for my fj40 when the top is off and it is brisk at night but nice during the day. Thanks!

this is what i am leaning towards, a friend in my local club own a high tech sheet metal forming business, and I am waiting to hear his response before making a final decision. Thanks! :thumb:

But if you add in all the rust proofing it is a wash.

Yeah, that stuff wierds me out, have you guys looked into it at all? Would you go aluminum or steel Martyn? Thanks!

Howdy folks. I am at a crossroads... I am at the point of adding sheet metal to the frame I built up and I am trying to decide between steel and aluminum. Here are my thoughts on each. Care to chime in? I hope so :thumb: Aluminum: First, I like the idea of no rust on the aluminum panels, that...

I am going to use a sacrificial strip on the rear of mine and call it good. Then again, i am not trying to drop off of 3' ledges either. You are on the right track.
