FJ40 trail buggy

dmtfabrication · Aug 6, 2017

My old thread lost all the photobucket links because I took so long to build this. I finally drove my buggy out of the garage. I have a short...er list of things to do now. I'm pretty excited

Does anyone have a good photo hosting website to recommend? Imgur sucks and photo bucket is terrible now.

Yeah, I get lost in the ether sometimes, however, I did find the time to finish this rig. I'll post some pics. I just did a little shakedown run yesterday. Smooth sailing.

I ran this access trail which is 10 minutes from my house, 5 minutes from work. It was a cold, but I had fun. 38 MPH with the TH400 in 3rd, 203 in high and the 205 in 4 low, It handles great. I am doing some shock and air bump tuning today, I might go see what high range and a few tweaks will do.

Last one. I'll post some pics of the finish fab work over the next few days....or years? I have tons to share if anyone is interested. Also, just the skid plate and the lowest part of the subframe are from BFR, the rest I made.
