Derale 17917 Heavy Duty Fan Blade Series 1000 17" Steel Clutch Fan Reverse Rotation It fits the the GM clutch with only a few little mods.

Nice! Let me know what you learn with the computer stuff. I am very curious about that with my Lexus project.

Cardboard templates for the transition panels for the radiator shroud are done. Now to turn them into metal.....

Back home after a week abroad for work... I test fit the shroud ring in the vehicle to double check the position. Everything looks pretty good. The ring might be a little long? I have about 1/3 of the fan sticking out of the shroud. It's easier to trim a little vs adding some I think. The...

Thank you. I think that would be great for a center console lid and glove box.

I love the latches, would you be willing to share the supplier?

Good progress tonight... I was able to drill the radiator core flange for the adapter brackets, rough fab the flanges I needed, weld in nuts, trim the circle/ring, and assemble it all for mockup. I had to sand down the weld nuts a bit to fit them in the flange. They are the same 6mm units...

Next mini-project.....fan shroud I was able to transfer the rough outline of the fan to the chip board fin protector while it was in the vehicle. The shroud is going to be 16 gauge steel I think. I have some of it laying around. It is a little overkill probably, but there really isn't going...

I just have to ruffle as many feathers as a can......upside down bezel, GM engine, automatic, Land Rover parts, dogs and cats living together!

That is why they are so small.....and don't drive by braille :)

.....but I love cutting things up SOOOOO much :) Making the front fenders still have a little 'cruiser flare to them was a challenge. Overall I am pretty happy with how that turned out. Now, I am about sick and tired of the tall cowl/glass height on the FJ40...and CJ5+ jeep stuff too. On the...

.....but I like having ALL the airflow of the opening with it above the winch motor.

Thank you. It is finally starting to look like something which is always good.

I remember seeing the build back in the day. I built the 45-esk tub from a 40 I chopped behind the door. I wanted something smaller so I pinched the floor and took all the taper out past the front of the door. This gave me a 56" wide tub. I also scooted the entire body back as far as possible...

Welp, another project within a project wrapped up.... I was able to get the rough fab done on the passenger front fender done. It was really nice out today so I was able pop the door open. That let me take a look from more than a few feet away! Close up of the drivers side. Close up...

Thread on this board is here... http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/154652-Blender-My-LX450-FZJ80-FJ45esk-GM-Land-Rover-crazy-concoction It's basically an 80-series chassis with a custom FJ45-esk pickup body and an aluminum 5.3 LS, 6spd auto, LT230 transfer case, and 40s. One of the...

Finished off the passenger fender front corner parts... Now to pull it off for welding!

It's good to hear about the chassis working well without sway bars. Any pics of your lightweight? I am building a FJ45-esk hybrid on an 80 chassis and need to delete the front bar...and was wondering about deleting the rear bar ( or swapping in a lighter version ). This thing should be...

Today.... ....I cut a big piece out of my fender and make a little piece to go back in. Shop tip.... Spend extra time building something to hold the part where you need for tack welding. In this case I was able to use a small piece of angle iron with one leg cut down slightly. That...

Thank you much. To all those watching. I appreciate questions and input. I don't like talking to myself THAT much.
