Oh we are keeping an eye on this. Keep updating us with pictures.

Just because we don't say anything, doesn't mean we're not watching.

Lookin good.

Thanks buRRp for the support,

Guess that I chased everyone else off. Not much interest any more.

Heavens no!! Wanna see this thing in the mud

Damn, son.

I wish I had the time/money/skills/space for something like this

Thanks guys for letting me know that there are a few still watching. Didn't want to bore anyone by updating further if there was a loss of interest.

Changed direction on the DS Radiator support bracket.

The size of the bracket was bugging me. This led me to a redesign of the bracket. Decided to cut an 1” off the length to make it resemble the stock bracket. There needed to be 2 relief holes cut in for the FJ box bolts. It was then capped off at the top for a cleaner look.

Always try and stay flexible with your designs. There is nothing wrong with making something better. Even though you have to remake something.

Reminder of 1st Bracket

Here is the revised version

I've been following along too! Most of it is way over my head but it's still cool to see

Just looked at the whole build so far and it is pretty awesome. You have a lot of talent.

Just wanted to give an update sorry no pics this time.

Decided that the motor and trans really needed to be in before the final front steering components were burned in. This will add the appropriate weight on the Rig to get a proper steering and Panhard Bar rod dimension.

Had one more obstacle to get through which was installing the motor and trams as 1 unit from the bottom. This meant that there needed to be a removable trans mount.

Decided to use the Rock 4x mount this moves the mount forward, eliminates the front DS interference and is removable.

After talking to Scott from Rock 4x the frame rail mounting points can be welded in with some plating to the outside rail and then bolt the mount in. This will eliminate the long mounting pinch clamps which I prefer.
