Default Thank you
Marty ... BIG thank you,... Im just super happy that there is a site (Lateral G) with guys like you that appreciate this type of build and the amount of work that goes into something like this. Sure is nice when it all comes together like you imagined
And oh yes Simon ... I do have those wicked seats that are going into the next FJ build ... not an F body build LOL

So very much love how this turned out!! Well done...

What is the opening between driver's door and front fender and will it stay open or is there going to be a cover for it?

Gee thanks Greg !! ....

Ya right Wayne, I have no doubt that yours will be awesome !

Lance those are the kick panel vents (original feet 'air conditioning') and yes I'm going to bond the panels back on, still LOTS of little stuff to do to wrap this thing up

So like ALL seriously modded vehicles we've run in a significant snag (again), the roll up window cranks run right into the new custom roll bar. DOH !!

So ... just ordered up a pretty nice universal Electric Life powered window kit, with the GM short spline power crank handle switches. This should be fun as I do not believe anyone has ever tried this conversion yet.

Also, whats so funny is the fact that in the pictures the wheels/tires look like a normal size when in fact they are 35" tall !!

Very nice build, I enjoyed following it. Are you planning to run rear fender flares?

Regards,

Larry

Quick question are you going to pad the Roll cage or are you short like me where there is no chance you will wack your head on it.

Default height
Hey Marty ... so I am 6-2" and have tons of clearance to the roll bar ... that said, if this thing where to be ever taken off road you'd absolutely want to pad her up.

Whos power brake setup is that? Looks like two different reservoirs right there together? One smaller than the other?
Thanks!

Default brake system
Jeff ... Thats the Hydrotech system from Jim, we worked together on getting the mounting perfect for a stock 40. The PSC reservoir is for the brakes and the Chase bays tank is the rad overflow

Cheers
Steve
