Hey there,
My rig is an 87 FJ60, and here is a brief list of what I have done so far:
SOA (w/ marlin highsteer!), longfields, aussie up front, 4:56 gears, 35s (saving up for 37s), ARB front w/ warn m10000, custom rear bumper, MAF sliders, h55f, ruffstuff tracbar, and lots of other little things.
link to my build thread on MUD:
http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/mcguires-87-fj60-build-soa-wheeling-pics-and-more.789450/Future plans consist of the following:
12h-t swap (getting the motor May 11th), 4.7 toy box, ARBs front and rear, 37s w/ beadlocks as stated above, make a drawer system, better shocks (billsteins), replace stock FJ62 springs w/ OME springs, and a few other ods and ends. My plan is to attend TLCA MOAB, and Rubithon runs in a few years, and I feel like these are a necessity to keep up out there with the big dogs! Well maybe a few are personal preferences like the motor, drawers, and 37s... But I pride myself with driving too and from wheeling spots/events and would like to keep doing so without keeping the thirsty 2f satisfied.
I live in central Texas outside of Austin, and have attended the Lone Star Roundup the past 2 years in Mason,Tx. I actually met Marlin this past March there and got to check out his rig! Pretty cool stuff.
I know this is an intro, but I have a quick question. How does one go about getting a toy box? I noticed that online it says not available, but was wondering if it is a "make as needed" kind of deal. I am not ready to buy one at the moment, so I didn't want to call and waste anyones time... But it is one of my near future upgrades, mainly to *try* and prevent breaking stuff on the trail. It will be mated to my h55f and stock t-case (87 model).
I can't figure out how to upload pics, but there are a bunch in my MUD thread.
