yeah I got a good deal on the white ones & was going to powdercoat them black, but Clay mounted & balanced them before I got a chance to. :(

It still needs a lot of work but I love it!! Drove it to work today and it cost me 1/4 tank in gas but it was worth it. :lol:

well I did a spring over and perches in the front
Clay made me a drop draglink and some front shock hoops
I mounted the steering stabalizer in a different spot
Fixed the floors
Since the rear was already a leaf over, I just stuck some redneck 6" blocks underneath
painted it & mounted it on new rims & rubber

I still have to put some shims in to stop the minor axlewrap that I have, longer brakelines and get a new front driveshaft & rear driveshaft CV joint.

cheap build! :)

What are some of the specs of the rig? Just curious is all because many of these FSJ came in a wide variety of engine sizes. Is it automatic or manual.
