does anyone know if eureka is the only place that does fibreglass kits for the fj40? ive been doing up the chasis and suspension of my shorty with 4 inch gu patrol coils, gu diffs front and rear custom arms etc, all now been completed and engineered. i just want to find a complete fibreglass body if anyone makes it. and does anyone recomend an engine and box combo? i dont really want to do the 350 chev transplant as this is already done, any other ideas on what would be reliable and able to cope offroad?

6ltr diesel out of a F250 would be very different
massive torque, but expensive
