Posting these pics for my pal calfj60 (aka: Cheap No Red Star bearin' Bastard :D)

We've made a lot of progress on his '69 FJ55. I'll let him fill in the details, but here is what we've done so far:

Completed the steering (minus safety washers on the SREs). New pass. side steering arm, new draglink and ends, modified pitman arm to accept larger GM TREs.

Fabbed (sorta) and mounted the tranny/x-fer crossmember.

Ran flex and hard brake lines.

Prepped the firewall for booster/master/pedal installation.

Mounted the radiator, Lincoln MK VIII fan, hoses, tranny cooler.

Mounted P/S pump, alternator and belts (new water pump too).

Replaced rear main seal, oil pump and screen...Think Toyota would buy a warranty claim for excessive oil sludge? :p

Install 1.5"

4Crawler Body Lift (http://4crawler.cruiserpages.com/4x4/ForSale/BodyLiftKit.shtml). I highly recommend Roger and his projects. He will work with you on custom parts and ships quickly. Support a fellow wheeler and small business man! :)

Kinda mounted an '84-'88 Mini bench seat (sorta not bolted down yet :rolleyes: ).

That's about all I can think of for now. Okay, onto the pics! More pics to follow as we make more progress :cool:

New passenger side steering arm.

4Crawler custom 1.5" body lift and Specter Bend Over and Grab Your Ankles Body Mount Kit (TM) :)

Another Steering Shot

Gratuitous Driveway Shot. What do you expect, the POS doesn't run yet...

;)

Good to see you're still plugging away at it. How did the Radiator mount up? Was it a good fit? Please keep me posted, I really miss looking into the yard at my large little piggy.

The sacrifices we have to make...

Josh

whats the width on the axles?? and do you have a pic of the seat?

Hey Toytech, Wanna thank you for postin those pics. Now to answser some questions. First off the rad is na full size aluminium chevy truck radiator with the lincoln electic fan. The one that I had originally didn't really fit and the hoses looked like they were goig to have issues with the mech fan. As for pics of the seat no pics yet but we wil try and get some tommorow when we go back to work on it. As for the axles the front is a full width Dana 44 and the rear is a full width Dana 60 FF. Hope that helps. later

looks good :beer:

ya know what it needs now?......the final touch,..........CUT THE FRICKEN TOP OFFFF! :D

I just choped mine off and I am stoked!

with no top, no glass and regulators in all those damn doors, I must have knocked off 500 lbs :eek:

even with 120feet of tubing. :fj:

In my first post I failed to mention that we completed all the above items before lunch time on Thursday :p

fc, I'm trying to get him to lop off the top behind the back doors to make it an FJ55 Double Cab pickup, but he's intent on keeping the schnazzy roll down rear window :)

Hey Josh, if you're ever up in the area, feel free to stop by and check on the progress!

THATS BEAUTIFUL.
