THE Fj Cruiser.

[FJAggie07]

Not very well cause my entire driverside floorboard was water!

[FJAggie07]

Alright guys I think I have given up the dream, of buying a beater... There is a new plan aloft....

I am thinking about doing a SAS on the FJC and then Exo-caging it. I am doing my research now, but what are ya'lls thoughts and suggestions on suspension set-ups. steering options, Axle options (D44, FJ80 LC axle...?), and brake options. Also will need to regear cause I am thinking at least 37's if not 39's. Also gotta figure out what locker I want to throw in the front and how ALL of this will affect the funky ass electronics in these new vehicles.

This is going to be a VERY long process and will take a lot of research but I think it is the way to go and I am starting my research now and probably wont act for another couple of months.

That must be the worst idea that I have ever heard. Stick to the beater plan - or at least find a wrecked FJC to start with or something.

If you do that then it'll either wind up a beater (UA FJC for example) or not wheel and be a cool grocery getter.

Yeah well I don't exactly have a whole lot of expenses anymore and well money isn't really that big of a deal and I plan on having my FJ paid off in about 6 months so why not just buy myself a new Tundra after those six months and make my Fj my beater?

Ain't life grand after college when you actually have money!

[FJAggie07]

No grocery getter, not a daily driver.

We'll, I guess if you have that kind of money, then why not? I would do the same - just don't have that kind of money... at least when I was 22 I didn't have that kind of money...
Took us till like last year paying $1250/mo to pay of college loans and CC bills

[FJAggie07]

I had the luck of family paying for the tuition statement and I worked to pay for books, food, rent, bills and me truck. I am debt free out of college making pretty good money, but if i could just figure out how to get the money back that i am giving to uncle sam every year then i would be set...

sell your fj and by wrecked one like someone else said...what's your fj worth? or with the money from the fj you good by a kickass built trail rig and have money left over to put a down payment on a tundra and buy a ghey matching car hauler to boot...going this route you would be wheeling in a month just about the time you finished your "research"

[Eckert]

why dont you start off cheap and build a another truck for a fraction of what you would have invested in the FJC and have twice as much? do they even offer T-case kits and the sorts for FJC's, or are you going with a different drivetrain too?

you sure didnt look very long for a beater if you already changed you mind.

if you have to be different, put some volvos under the FJC. they already have air lockers.

you: build the fj

everyone else: stop the negativity, sit back and enjoy the train wreck
