New Home for the FJ


Well the FJ has turned into quite the ordeal.  I retrieved it from Hibernation and am hoping now that it is Spring, it will get worked on.  I ripped it away from Robs and Dad and I loaded up the ole trailer and hauled all the parts down to Ben Hanks Racing in Sandy.  They have a sweet shop and I am really excited about the work they do.  They say about 6 weeks so we shall see.  The Axles and some other parts may have it postponed a bit, but I am hoping that it goes much more quickly.  They did find a home for it in the shop, so it is looking better as far as progressing.  Hopefully I will be able to show some progress in a few weeks.  I guess it gives me time to work on Allisa's Kitchen.  That should be a lot of fun to see it come together.  Hopefully updates will be forthcoming.  I bought those tires BFG Mud Terrain KM2's (note the similarity to BFG Krawlers) 37x12.5 R17  I am getting Walker Evans Bead Locks and I just ordered a new T-case 4.3:1 so it should be a great crawler.  I am planning on using some sort of 9" rearend with a True Hi9 gears and Dana 60 Knuckles.  Should be really sweet.......
