That is why I dig 55's they stand out.

Here are some specs,
91 5.7 TBI, 465, 203 range box, landcruiser t-case
4:88's and powertracks lockers
39.5 - 15 - 15 TSL - soon to be siped (SP) also considering Staun beadlocks
63" chevy rear springs W/ Terraflex shackles
front springs are 4" lift FJ55 springs
SOA - stating the obvious
Warn 16.5 TI W/ 150' 3/8 plasma
Marlin high steer w/ 6 bolt arms ( waiting on knuckles )
Mini truck birfields and knuckles ( fj60 disks and 4-skinner calipers )
Rear disks ( chevy )
front axle 4" forward from factory
The whole floor and allot of firewall new ( 6 months of body work ) (( yuck ))
2-1/2" true dual exsaust ( aluminized ) W/ Edelbrock SDT's
completly boxed frame, coming soon bumpers and sliders, maybe partial exo.

Hoping to fire it off soon, building custom d-shafts w/ 21 spline slip yokes, will post pics when completed.

The weather is getting really nice and it is hard to stay on track but hopefully I can get some runs in this summer.

Beastly looking, I like it and the paint color!!

specs are impressive as well.

pardon me for not knowing but what year is that? I don't know much about fj's cept that i like them.

fj55tyrant · « **Reply #14 on:** Mar 18, 2006, 12:56:40 AM »

Thanks everybody for the compliments

My Fj55 is a 1976, I like the hood better than the older ones. Has a slightly raised center.
Have over two years in the build, getting really close....

The lower section with the blue'ish multy color will be Rhino lined black. It looks allot different with the front upper and lower fenders on.

Later
