new ride

gothodgie · 04-07-2013, 11:47 AM

Well after many nights spent laying on a creeper and sitting in the garage I have decided it is time to retire the 60... The frame rust is just more than i want to deal with... I'll be parting the 60 out and using anything i can on the new(to me) trail rig...

So the new trail rig is going to be a 96 fj80 that just kinda fell in my lap last week and i couldn't pass it up... I will need to come up with a name for her and there is a whole list of things i will be doing to her in hopefully the near future... This has also become the diesel swap truck now too...

lift... 4"-6" with a little body lift maybe...
tires... planning on 36/37 ish range...
gears...
bumpers/sliders/armor...
thinking of painting the roof white to help with the heat...
some interior upgrades too...

This is just a start because we all know that the list just keeps growing...

Looks good ...

When you think it's going to be ready to wheel?
