Here are a few pics of a FJ40 we are building for a customer.

It has a 350 chev, turbo 400 and hilux transfer. Dana 44 front and a 9inch rear with 44 swampers

looking sweet... what did it look like before you started working on it?

Sat Dec 06, 2003 12:52 pm

it was a "show" car :roll:

The body had some wierd mods where it flipped up at the rear and the front also tilted forward.

it already had the 350 in it but with a cruiser manual box. We have basically had it down to the chassis rails and re-built the whole thing

Don't tell me it had rack and pinion or some other aborted steering right? :lol:

Ruff told me about this a long time ago.

I think it was actually Ruff's car, he built that :lol:

(just kidding, he showed me some pics a few years ago) ROFL!!

Your cage looks good mick!

what wheelbase will it be at? is he expecting the hilux transfer case to hold up to a 350? and the dana 44? (hope he takes it easy)

Thanks!

I dont think it is going to hold together, but that is what he supplied us with.

The wheelbase is about 110 inches

Here are some old pics of it when it was visiting around the corner from my house.

Mick does the same guy still own it that built it??

I realy hope you are doing something about that steering.

Nice work Mick, that thing is really coming along :cool:

I might have to speak to you soon about a new cage. Could something like that be made on my rig and still keep the body ?

I want something that mounts to the chassis for extra strength

Yeah, we can build a chassis mounted cage and use all the original body.
