Tube FJ40

I am going to cut the rear off the 40 and tube the whole rear end. Might be cut from the firewall back or just behind the seats :? So it will be tube cage and tube rear end.

I have some pics from searching the net but I want more :armsup:

If anyone one has some good ideas or some pics in their PC 'library' can you send them to me ?

Thanks

Dan

I deleted your PM before I could respond and then couldn't remember who sent it :oops:

Can you resend it ?

Or what did you want to know ?

I was at M&M engineering At windsor last week and they are building one for a customer. All they have used is the firewall of a 40 and tubed the front and back, looks really tuff.
