Newest SDHQ FJ Build - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Even though this rig has been built previously, since we have torn everything out and starting from scratch I think it is safe to say it is a "new" build not a "re-do"...

wow. lots o work, but I would have done a solid axle if it was mine.

Great job so far on the fab work!

Update this with some pictures of that rear suspension and explain a bit about it.

Can we move or copy this over to the FJ Cruiser section? That area NEEDS this thread.

This is awsome! I am anxious to see how the engine works out. I am curious about why you would tear down this rig instead of just starting with a new one.If you keep up the good work you will have the second coolest FJ in the world! LOL

Maybe a Cantilever rear suspension set up

Looks like a mezzanine arm. Very Nice!

Awesome build...well done...

can I ask what comp is this being built for?

And are they custom steering knuckles in the earlier pics?

Mad Dog 1 · 09-02-2010, 07:56 AM

Can you post a picture of the front part of the cage from the inside. I'm wanting to see how the side pillars drop down and connect to the frame. I am designing one for my FJ and am trying to keep them all the way to the front of the dash near the windshield. THe others I have seen come in front of the dash and curve forward. THis seems like way too many bends.
