Brit,

didn't notice it until I re-posted the larger pic..

thanks

Welcome to ExPo BritKLR - I've been watching and inspired by your rig for a few years over on MUD.

Thanks Cabrito!

I've been lurking around Expo for sometime but haven't posted, so I thought I better be part of the solution...not the problem.

BTW, I'm a 2003 KLR owner and love it! If I could figure out how to reduce the pix size easily I would post some up.

Take care.

Bushmaster -

It's a cargo platform.

Here's a link to the build: http://forum.ih8mud.com/camping-outdoor-gear/371084-pelican-case-storage-system.html

I'm a Pelican case geek and I built it to strap down all my PC cases and attach my fridge. It's worked out nicely.

Good Luck!

1987 FJ60 - 5+ years on the build-up. - Rust free - Silver / Black paint - Original 2F with 230K on the motor - H55 tranny with transfer rebuild - SROR sliders and rear bumper - Functional Snorkel w/all emissions gear plumbed in - Homemade RR - ARB non-winch front bumper (replacing with ARB winch bumper with 8274-50 winch) - ARB lockers front and rear with 4.56 gears and ARB HD compressor - BDS suspension (replacing with OME HD-plus) - Stockton / OEM Steelie 15x8 wheels w/BFG AT - Hella 4000 front/Hella worklight rear....a work in progress and a real time Overland rig...

That is a GORGEOUS truck mate. How does she go down the road with the 4.56's and the 2F??? You sure did an awesome job or building/restoring it eh. I love that it has a manual tranny too eh(Was it a stock Man. or a swap job???). For me all I could see doing to it would be a nice HDJ or HZJ TD swap, but the 2F certainly is a nice solid motor and it's tractor like qualites certainly have their merrits when off-road too.

Cheers

Dave

Edit: I love the cargo floor, I'm a Pelican Case Junkie too so I understand where you're coming from Does the tray slide out at all or is it mounted solid to the floor???

Thanks Dave -

The gas 2F was the standard motor in the FJ60 in the US so it has a lot of support (IH8MUD). I don't know much about diesels, but I would love to put one in my 60 if I could find one locally, based on driving a few diesel trucks.

The cargo platform simply sets in the rear of the 60 and is held in place by some MAC tiedowns. Once done with the rip I remove the platform and store it in my basement.

I hope this answers your Q.

BritKLR I really like your rig and not just because I have a silver 87 60 as well:victory:

Yours is truly beautiful.

Here's a few from my latest trip.

1997 FZJ-80 with 175k. Purchased about a year and a half ago with 170k on the clock, but needing tons of maintenance.
-OME heavies
-ARB with Superwinch Ep9 and 3/8 Amsteel Sk78 with Slee Offroad fairlead.
-Nitto TG 285/75/16
-Broken and repaired space case and harbor freight aluminum roof gas rack.
-And a perpetually empty gas tank.

And while the Cruiser was getting its post-purchase repair and maintenance (brakes, radiator, HG, etc), the mazda 3 had adventure duties :-D
