Here she is. After many of your comments I decided to stay with the stock mint green. She still needs her bead locks and flatbed. I hope to fit 35s or so without a spring over. I know I will get there but one thing at a time. So far she has a 350 and 4 wheel disc with an SM420 and painless kit on the garage floor. I am so excited I keep soiling myself!

That looks fantastic. I love the stock color.
35's without a springover? Shouldn't be a huge problem with no rear to worry about (flatbed). 4" springs will probably cut it.

Nice job so far. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

very nice indeed, cant wait to see it all done, jiMMy

Hmm....I might know where ya can get some beadlocks... <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

Nice truck, Mike!! I think you can get by with a 4" lift and ext'd shackles to comfortably clear 35's. I know 1 guy that had Alcan make him a set of 5" springs for his FJ40 - flexed like crazy.

Good luck with the build up.

that makes me want to start rebuliding my fj45 even more...keep the pics of it coming, can't get enough pics of fj45s

glad to see another 45 come back to life. we've got one in our group that should be up and running in about 6 months. big block, 465/205, dana 60, 14 bolt and a beautiful paintjob to boot.
mine is still on the bachburner but i should be able to start on it in about 6 months. can't wait!!! <IMG SRC="smilies/bounce2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/bounce2.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/bounce2.gif" border="0">

Do you want to send me a tray back? <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

WOW What a difference from the last time I saw that thing. AWESOME!! I dig the color! Can't wait to see it on the trail.

Nice work....and the stock color rocks!!!!! Ditch the small block though...find a goog 2F and you'll be happy. 4" springs and a slight shackle you'll be able to run 35's no problem. Keep up the good work! <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

Very cool indeed <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> Keep us posted. Hey Orange FJ45 Wagon, got any pics of that 45 with the bigblock? Would love to see it.

Thanks to all for the positive comments! I an very happy with it so far. I still have a lot of work though.

Mike I picked up the bed on Sat and checked out your truck looks great What is the Brake set up at the master and booster? You did a very clean job of that set up. Are you running a 4 speed or three I didn't look under it to see.
Thanks again I am very happy
Roger

Roger,I am glad all is well with the bed. I had mixed emotions about selling it. Sorry that I was not there when you came. We managed to raise $34,600 in one day for the NY Firefighter relief fund. Northern Nevada should be able to put together over $500,000 for the families! The brakes are Wardens adapter, 84 mini booster and an 86 1 inch bore master. Most of the lines will come off this week. I am replacing all of the hard lines. I will be removing the vacuume transfer stuff from the firewall so I can run cleaner looking lines with residual valves. The proportioner will also be moved to the firewall. I have a 73 3 speed tcase and an sm420 ready to go. When you get time send some photos of you rig. By the way, that bumper was for you also. Keep us posted!

I have posted these 33 X 9.50 wild country tires in the 4 sale section. Less than 500 miles. These fit great with my stock suspension. I have my eye on 35 X 12.50 BFG muds on my new Bead locks! No bed to worry about! How about $350?
