Twisted FJ

[Busa]

Here is the start of my new project. 4 seat Twisted Customs chassis. Jason sent me a few spy pictures of the new chassis. I should be picking it up the first of Nov. 1874118742

[Sharpe]

Drivetrain and specs?

[Busa]

Still have a lot of part to get, but the usual parts.

5.3 or 6.0
4L60E
Atlas
Spider 9s
True Hi9s
40s.

[TdmayfieldIV]

use a coyote 5.0L or 6.2L

Everyone uses 5.3 and 6.0's, boring.

[eight]

This thing will have Ryan Busa in the driver's seat, never boring.

[BroncoJo]

This looks pretty cool, please keep us updated :gigem:

There is a reason... Chevy motors are superior

[redcagepatrol]

I need to get going on mine...

[robertf03]

I would have gone with different seats

[TdmayfieldIV]

Not saying its not badass, cause it is. Just needs some blue oval power.

[RCcola55]

cams are in the wrong spot with the fomoco powerplants

[Fredo]

The decimal on the price tag is in the wrong spot on a ford power plant too, as well as the torque curve.

Truth, the first time I saw this guy wheel was at Clayton... It was hilarious to watch him go up a trail in 10 seconds that took the rest of the guys 10 minutes.

[davido]

Sweet! I didn't know you were using Cruiser badging. It's going to be awesome!

[Busa]

Yep. I am a Toyota guy. It is time to go back. Jeeps are not really for me.

[FJAggie07]

I am definitely going to keep my eye on this. Please keep on updating the thread when you get pics and make choices and such :D

[Busa]

This project may be put on hold after i get the chassis. We are planing on relocating to the Montgomery area. I have a lead on a job so that is going to be the determining factor if we do. But I will be collecting parts as I get them.

I may consider selling the jeep after the first of the year if anyone is interested.

[Busa]

Troy and I will be headed to South Dakota after work to pick up our chassis and do some wheeling.

[redcagepatrol]

take care of my trailer!

[JB]

SO if two rigs are on the trailer, where will the chassis(s) go?

[Busa]

We have a plan for everything to fit.

We should be in Rapid City around 9am. Meeting up with Jason Paule the owner of Twisted Custom to do some wheeling today. Going to try to wheel Sat as well if the weather allows.

[Busa]

18948189491895018951We made it back. Only had 2 trailer tires blow out in Okl City with in 10min of each other on the way home.

[robertf03]

looks good. what does each one weigh?

[Busa]

Not sure but 3 of us unloaded them.

[FJAggie07]

badass.

[colman]

[Busa]

This is going to be an all new rig. My is safe for now.

[Busa]

Here is a pic of the hood and grill sitting in place. 18973

[davido]

Pure sex!

[robertf03]

if you have one and scotts building a fake, who is the 2nd real one for?

[davido]

Troy, again. :)

[Busa]

Yep Troy got a 4seater. He is going to transfer all his parts over to the new chassis.

[Busa]

I though i would post a few picture of what i have done on this car. 1924219243192441924519246

Double ended ram looks nice, you should have convinced Scott to go the same route.

I was going to go the same way he did but i did not like the set up. I tried to talk him in to it but like it simple. You should come buy Sat night and check it out. I could use someone to look things over.

[MR.ZAP]

Have you sat in those seats at all??? They comfy?

[Busa]

Yes i have they should be very nice on the trail.

[redcagepatrol]

Blah - I like the way the forces go with the single ended ram. Everything pushs straight - no side loading. I think it will also look really good with the ram being hidden behind the axle.

I made my THIRD set of steering arms last night, these should work, just need to adjust their location a little more from where they are currently tacked in. Turns out, 1/8" inboard / outboard or a degree off on caster makes a huge difference on the amount of throw each direction.

[Busa]

I will be working on the car tomorrow evening in Anderson if anyone would like to come out. It would be good to have someone else look over thing.

[BMFScout]

Looking good!

[Busa]

Well the car is finally ready to get powder coated. I could use some help taking it apart on Friday evening. If anyone is interested let me know. I am in Anderson.

[Busa]

The car is getting paint and powder coating. Hope the have the chassie back at the end of next week. The plan is to have it running at the end of October. I could use some help putting it together when I get it back.

[TdmayfieldIV]

Let me know when youre working on it. You're not far from me.

(719) 200-3202

[Busa]

My chassie may be ready to pick up Friday. If so I will need some help Friday evening to start putting it back together.

[redcagepatrol]

Busa has his chassis powdercoated now - come on out to help him get the engine and tranny in tonight.

[Seth]

I'm not sure I've ever been to his shop, where is it?

[Busa]

My house is in Anderson. Send me a text or call. 972 281 7106

[Busa]

I dig it. Why didn't you put a foot hold in the skins? Most doorless buggies have a foot hole so you can climb in without stepping on the tires.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

That's what the milk crate is for Tate. Sheesh! :flipoff2:

[Busa]

There are foot cut outs in the skins. Still need to have the skins painted but need to pick up the paint in Denton. Will get it on the way to Clayton

[KrazyKarl02]

Looks good

[FJAggie07]

It looks killer!
