F`n sweet! Now get to work on your Jeep!!! Labor day weekend is coming!!!!

[forsakenfuture]

Thats how they should of come from the factory(The solid axle part).

[GRMhick]

It took my reading the FJ forums before I realized that was Amanda's FJ. That thing sure has changed since I ran hells revenge and moab rim with her last year.

Looks good. How did you get the brakes hooked up? Stock master bypassing the ABS system?

[Sillyneck]

thanks guys... it was a fun project! Chris... I am working on the jeep. the front is 3 linked and will be done in 30 mins. The rear is next... I lowered the front 12" :D hahahah on 40s still!

Yea it should be up on some fj's now :) I'd put it up against the Ultimate adventure rig. Can't compare the the 60's and 40's though... just the the way it's put together and how it acts on the trail.

The brakes are just hooked up normal. Since the rear is stock it might still work kinda. The front brakes work great they just won't have abs input and ABS is for people that aren't "drivers" anyways :D

I told Amanda that I have some ideas on how to make the computer happy. Once I get mine back (hopefully next week) I will work on it. If I figure it out, I'll come up and we can make her's work as well.

Looks really good Phil!

Depends what kind of budget you have. :)

[mummac]

lefty 5.0 case w/ a 2.7 in front of it.

How big is the 2.7 crawl box? Did it all bolt up or did you have to cut the gas tank or anything to get it to fit?

[Sillyneck]

inchworm did the install and they'll be making it public info soon... looks like the gastank was clearanced... I think the heated and pushed :D f-ckin did the trick!

[MissFJ]

[CronusTRD]

Now Amanda needs to get a real spare on the tailgate.

[Sillyneck]

test fit some 40's up front. it'll run em no prob lol :D uh oh

[AngryPirate]

really nice I love how stock it is except for the suspension tires and such

[peesalot]

Speaking of budget ? what does it take to wrap a FJC in that gear ?
You do some nice shit Phil, keep it up. Are you sure you do not know FC , they have the same culvert in their test pics sometimes.

[OnTheRocks]

Silly Philly, that is just pure sickness. Question ~ pardon if it was already asked: Is that a used Ford 44 out of an older truck? Seems it would be if HiPin, and if so, did you just swap chevy inners? Ya know what, screw the questions. PM. I think I might be financing your next welder...

[Sillyneck]

I don't know a total for this particular job.... but if I was to do it again just like that, not incl the lefty (unless of course you want that sick sick gear reduction action!) I can get one out the door for about $14k

Don't know FC... http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forums/attachments/4x4-off-road-tech/14232d1186160676-missfjs-project-sfa-dsc00839.jpg way off in the distance to the right of the fj is where that ditch is. If FC came all the back into my compound I'd know it. I'm a mile in, one way in one way out ;) thanks for the compliments bro!

[TejasYOTA]

BAD ASS!
Great SAS on that FJ!

[Clemsonkrawler]

Very clean build. Nice blue King Coilovers would have looked better though. :flipoff2:

[IoN6]

Do you have any shots of how you did the custom radius links? I looked through the thread on FJC but didn't see anything. Looks like the Ford ends with a wristed joint on one side?

[k5chevyblazer]

damn, amandas shit came out tight, you must be getting free taxes done for life. right on on the build.

you buying? sweet... send em to sillyfab and I'll get em on there :flipoff2:


thanks for the good words guys.

I didn't take too many pics of the modded clamps because ultimately I'd rather have the welded 'c' housing but (enter saying of the year) it is what it is ;)

Got lost on the way to the mall... I think I heard two or three ooohhhs and aahhhs on the con. :D

Many compliments from Moab tho!!

[toy86]

I think I was one of the oooo's but maybe not because you had your windows up since it was like 20* sunday morning at the roundup. I love that thing

[MissFJ]

Hey, I owe you a phone call!! Short answer is yes and no :D

did you see the frost on the logs! burrrr. I was cold looking at it thru my window with the heater blasting :D

[toy86]

yeah I was in the same place as you, inside my taco with the heater blasting looking out at the frozen ass world and freezing buggy drivers

[k5chevyblazer]

Hey, I owe you a phone call!! Short answer is yes and no :D

I was talking to Tim yesterday and was giving him crap how you didnt call me back. I'd love to check that thing out. I also still have Tims aluminum pot holder. My Tim, Bradshaw, and Darin could plan a October Con run :p

[MissFJ]

All you 707 numbers confuse me and after I got a text with a nice sent of antlers I didn't want to talk to any of you :p

[k5chevyblazer]

mine is 0053 that was your buddy tim, probably wanted you to show your man tim.

[rocknbronco]

Thats a sexy FJ

[MissFJ]

nope, he was braggin to me because I couldn't go :(

[k5chevyblazer]

so what broke in Moab? Michelle was telling me about it today :(

[MissFJ]

We had dual cases installed. Going into Prichett tried to bump a ledge and the rear case output shaft went kaboom. It's gear driven so we had no go, no park....just the brakes! Our buddy towed us out of there and let's just say my winch cable is pissed!
Inchworm is rebuilding it with some bling since the FJ is a little too heavy for the stock output shaft.

[Sillyneck]

hey hey hey... stop the presses... don't drive the rig anymore... Dickfoster says that for that rig to work it must be built by an engineer on paper before anything works right. SOOOOOOOOOO quit the charade.. you know all those pics were photochopped and anyone who said they saw it working well had their pockets padded by me. :flipoff2:

If this ever gets old I'll be sad.












killlll em all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they're greenies in disguise! :D

[MissFJ]

That sucks! It was supposed to be at Toyota's booth for the Pomona expo. They'll be so disappointed :shaking:
