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

forsakenfuture · 08-21-2007, 08:20 PM

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

GRMhick · 08-22-2007, 05:07 AM

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 · 08-22-2007, 10:38 AM

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"

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

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!

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 · 08-22-2007, 09:48 PM
