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

I have to agree with you there, Steve. It is definitely going to be a SICK build!

Still enjoying it, she's put several thousand miles on it... and I think it's even dirty right now from a pop-up shower!

This thing is rad. Love watching it come together since it's so different than what I am accustomed to.

Hey Trey, yes it is in the TO area and most certainly next time you are here I'll take you up to see it. This thing is insane, the complexity of the front end to get the suspension correct and make sure there are no clearance issues is crazy ... there must be 60-80 hours just in planning, trial fitting and then welding.
Hardest part is coming up now, fitting/threading the 1" sway bar through all the moving parts and then making sure nothing hits on full articulation ...
And I love bringing this stuff to you and the rest of the members as well.
Let me know buddy !
Cheers
Steve

Are there any plans to gusset the shock towers in front and rear or are they not needed? Asking because I don't know.
