I always thought the term FJ42.5 referred to a stretched FJ40 body on an FJ45 LWB frame. What is the story with your Cruiser? Is it a SWB FJ45 frame? Perhaps it is the angle of the pics or the darkness, but I am not seeing the wheelbase I would expect from either of the truck frames. Just curious:D

LOL! Yes, that is my way of being unique...

Never heard of the FJ40 on a 45 frame, i guess that would count as well.

Ohh, and the tires are 39.5" TSLs-

Randy Ellis is building the cage right now, will try to show pics as soon as it's done.

Looks awesome!

How is the gearing? Do you have the Klune yet?

thanx nolen. The gearing is decent @ 86:1 with the 2F. It crawls well, usually don't touch the pedals. No klune-V yet. That will be one of the last mods maybe in a year or so. I think the suspension needs the most help first. Gonna get the front locker in soon, then save up and get a fawkin trailer. Then next major work is full-hydro, and front coil-overs...

Lemme put it this way. Whatever Randy Ellis uses to compete next year, i may well have paid for it...

hehehe, we'll see.

RHINO - PM me, and i can ask my buddy when the next we go out is... maybe you can come, i dunno.
