Projects

This 1970 Jeepster came into the shop with lots of soul and was in need of some TLC. After repairing the stock suspension and a new carb to get the motor running right, we started on the interior.  A new custom 6-point internal cage was built and all new seat mounting (front and rear) with 4-point harnesses.  We added some cosmetic items such as a shifter bezel, taillight mounts, fuel filler brackets and new tailgate locking pins.  

When the customer is ready to swap suspension and build this rig, he will have a safe platform.

This one off 2-seat buggy was built to wheel the hardest trails! With an LS platform one-ton axles and aggressive Maxxis tires, this rig is sure to satisfy! Set up for trail riding or weekend trips, this rig features a spacious cockpit, plenty of leg room and rear cargo room.  The owner will sure get years of pleasure.

This clean Toyota came to the shop with a few minor issues but slated for a ton of upgrades. First we built a new bed to accommodate the suspension then added skid protection underneath for the trans and fuel tank. We beefed up the current suspension mounting and added new sway bars front and rear giving this rig a completely different feel.  All new lighting finished off the under carriage. The customer gave us full design control over the EXO cage and we had a lot of fun adding a custom American flag front fender.  We guarantee there is no other rig like this on the trail!

This FJ, which was mostly stock upon arrival, started with a complete 4-link rear suspension with trailing arms and 14" RadFlo coil overs.  Then, the existing roll cage was was improved in preparation for a new fuel tank and rear bench seat. The interior front driver area was improved with new seat mounts and custom center console adding additional storage like no other!  The old SM465 was swapped for a TH400 auto and freshened up the Atlas t-case.

What's Next

Future plans for this rig include a GM 5.3LS motor swap, a complete rewire of the entire rig, 4-link suspension, full Hydro steering with 14" RadFlo coil overs. This will be one @BadFJ40 when it's complete!

Powered with a 3.0 V6 with a 5 speed trans and a single 4.7 t-case.  Front and rear axles are Toyota with 5.29 gears. Front is set up with a 3-link and 14" coil overs. Rear is 4-linked with custom crossmembers sitting on 14" coil overs. This rig has a great torquey motor.   

Finished it off with a simple clean EXO cage.
