Guys ... shocks arrived (FINALLY) a few weeks ago and we are rocking' this thing
Suspension pretty much complete, and put the body on to check all clearances ... we good !!
Last items - check for bump steer, and sort out how the 'heck' we are going to get a stabilizer bar up front
Pics show body on with suspension in full extension/droop. She will sit about 5-6" lower and rear axel back about 2-3"
This thing is going to be so cool ...

Congrats on getting the body back on. I'm assuming it's temporary though? The rendering looks great. Love the Toyota racing colors.

Thanks Gents !!
Hi Trey ... yes you are correct. Taking all the measurements to determine engine placement. Once we know we have all the clearances then we will install the entire driveline and then weld up all the frame brackets. Once thats done the body will go back on for one last check. Then everything comes apart and goes for powder coating, and the body goes to the paint shop
Simple ... 
Cheers
Steve

Jeff ... of course my friend ! you know me ...BTW, how's the 40' ???
Cramer, thank you ... as far as I know (and I have searched EVERYWHERE) nobody has taken a FJ55 to this level of resto-mod and I too am totally stoked to show the world what guys like us on Lateral-G can do with a little bit of talent and a 'little' bit of $$$ !! LOL
Cheers
Steve
