    88 FJ62 Rebuild and LSX Swap

    What I liked most about them was the ability to adjust height I am 5ft10" and like to sit upright with my knees bent, for really long drives this is the most comfortable for me. On long trips I found them to be good but I am sure there are better seats out there. Cheers

    The Mongrel: FJ62 body + FZJ80 chassis + turbo diesel + ???

    Well I am trying to sell it and it is going better than I expected. See what happens..... I plan to be done with the chassis today and it back under the Cruiser. I yanked he frame out from under it two days ago to do all the final welding, clean it all up, paint it, ect ect. By this evening I...

    Volkswagen Vanagon 4x4 Conversion.

    Don't burn it in with a 120v machine, use a bigger machine. Your set up looks good to me. I have done a c&t on an 80 axle, not that big of a deal and makes a huge difference. My truck was tested a lot after the c&t, 3,500 mile trip to Baja and several trips to the sand dunes which is hard on a...

    Eezi-Awn Manta 270 awning FS

    Hey I got the awning the other day Snappy. I haven't got it up on my RR yet, waiting on some mounting brackets from Front Runner. It looks real good though and this is one big serious awning. Thanks! Cheers

    The Mongrel: FJ62 body + FZJ80 chassis + turbo diesel + ???

    Thank you. It is not cheap though if playing with non-USA trucks. I have big bucks in my 77 Patrol Ute because both it's powertrain and it's drivetrain come from non-USA trucks which means I had to import the stuff. I guess you are not saying cheap though, just on budget! And I don't know what a...

    The Mongrel: FJ62 body + FZJ80 chassis + turbo diesel + ???

    They are Mickey Thompson Classic 2's. A 15" wheel, I believe it is 8.5" wide. I do not recall the offset. The truck needs new wheels and tires, more backspacing will suck the tires in more as well as a narrower tire. The Coopers are a 35x12.5". I bought the wheels and tires when I had my 80 and...

    The Mongrel: FJ62 body + FZJ80 chassis + turbo diesel + ???

    I am nearly done now. Got a few more hours of work on the back of the chassis and then I am ready to pull the body one last time, do my final welding and it is a done deal. It is a big mean Land Cruiser but since it now sits on coil springs there is tons of options when it comes to lift. I...

    RMP&Os 1977 Patrol Ute build for overlanding

    Still waiting on RLCA mounts, axle side. Been like 3 or 4 weeks since I ordered them, they were back ordered. Going to have to make a call or two on that this week. I finalized most of the fuel system on the engine. Spill tube on, fuel filter assembly on and so forth. everything torqued to...

    The Mongrel: FJ62 body + FZJ80 chassis + turbo diesel + ???

    I am setting up the body mounts now. Got the shortened FZJ80 chassis under the FJ62 body. Today I will make the first of twelve body mounts. Yup, it already looks hot and sexy! :) Cheers

    UZJ100 built for the long trip south

    All good Zimm, however..... I am not buying new tires, I just bought tires. If I find I trash more than one down south I will simply buy new tires down there. I put 60k on a set of BFG A/Ts, x2 times to Panama and back plus more and never had even a single hole. Not expecting any tire dramas on...

    UZJ100 built for the long trip south

    So I am the dude who bought this.... http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/161634-Eezi-Awn-Manta-270-awning-FS I was after the Bat or Manta, that takes care of that item. I also went and bought my seat covers as well as a switch for my LED light bar. That is about it for now. Cheers

    UZJ100 built for the long trip south

    Whats up!? Ya, I don't get out much, like I said this place is over crowded. Was just at the grocery store, got no less than three sneers and glares from snobby rich ladies. Had my fill of this, only leave the house to work, get groceries or deal with life things. Otherwise I just hang out at...

    UZJ100 built for the long trip south

    Thanks! It is a big move, even for me. Walking away from my home for the last 20yrs, a business I have had for 17yrs and much more. I am even leaving my dog behind who I have had since he was 6 weeks old, he turns 14yrs old this month. That is the hardest thing to do as well as leave many many...
