About 1-1/2 years ago I started this build.



chevy tilt column



We cut and turned the front axle, did a SOA and high steer.

The front axle is a stock fj40 with chromoly birfields and 27spline chromoly axles

and the rear is a full floater out of a fj60



both axles will have the stock gearing and ARB'S
