Some pictures just don't do things justice.

Suspension specs: Stockish springs, stock length shocks (which limit front travel) 36" Michelin tires. I don't think flex isn't too bad considering the suspension is basically stock.

The pictures are deceiving, the berm is a good 3' tall. I need to lower my bump stops.

looks nice...even with that flex you will still be able to mob over just about anything....remember, it's a 55!!!

 

[GreenPig]

one more wheel to go!

The thing climbs pretty well. I'll get more pics from my father in a day or so if anyone's interested.

I've always been jealous of other people's trucks. I think I'm finally at that stage where my favorite truck is my own piece of shit.

Still much to do...

adapter Volvo-> Cruiser

This little chunk of steel is what took forever. The Toyota side was easy. Without taking off the flange, the Volvo was a bit more of a bitch...

i'll have to admit publically that i'm not a huge fj55 fan, but that rig is sweet. not overbuilt, but very trailworthy by the looks of it!
i dig it!!!

 

[RMP&O]

hey sweet FJ55! I have been wanting to drop Volvo portals under a Nissan Patrol for awhile now.

I am on the other side of Wyo...the mountain side. Yet, if you ever out this way would be great do do some wheeling with you. I have 5 old 60 series Nissan Patrols and a 712m 6x6 Pinzgauer. We have some good local trails, your welcome any time!

Once again, I love it.. good work!

 

[ToyotaFanatic]

Sweet rig. I'd love to do a portal swap whenever i get my garage done.

 

[dieselcruiserhead]

Killer Brian!!!

 

[NW-sickboy]

be careful on those berms.......ledges......ruts......the can sneek up on you and put you on your side.......:flipoff2:

 

[mixmaster]

Brian, that looks awesome man. Good job on the build up, I am impressed.

 

[somethingcool]

Sweet, I'm sure I speak for most people when I say I wish I had portals!

Get some longer shocks for some more droop and your rig will be damn near super badass!

 

[kling-on]

thats SOOOO clean looks stock ... and as for flex you buildin a long range camper or a rock crawler ..... for a camper thats alot of flex( more than mines got) , i also agree with the longer shock statement pull the shocks off and do that spot again and see how long/short you need bet you can get more out of the rear with some tweekin..... and again FAWKIN BAD ASS MAN keep the pics comin

 

[chef]

That's real impressive flex for basically stock!

 

[bkfj40]

sure wish that I still lived in Laramie, we could be comparing your pig to mine....

way to think "outside the box"...hmmm...maybe someone should start a column like that in TT

so what's next? (besides earning more money)
