Started the mods on the FJ now , so far , mods done , removed the cantilevers from the suspension , fitted a 3-1 reduction box , tyre change , flat decked the rear for better wheel clearence and departure angle , cabbed the body ( still to complete ) new front bar for better approuch angle , junfac HD steering links and skid plate . still got to glue and repaint the body , make side pipes , waiting on alloy prop shafts ( twisting the std ones , and popping off ) fit winch to front for axle loading , also thinking of rear steer .
