Front suspension is done
I need to make another servo/battery/link mount as this one is off my truck.

The rear suspension is next.

Thanks guys.
Hmm rules, what I've never heard of such a thing.

Mike's not getting my wheels too, Just the chassis and links.

That is a great tuber, love the simplicity.

I guess I pretty much like all your builds!

Yep I'll be there. I wanna see it's first comp. Like I said it SHOULD do really well. You will need to tune the shocks before then, but the links should be set.

Are there any rocks around there we can take the FJ on?

Yeah, hopefully I won't have to tear the shocks down to many times. Going to look at some used 36's for the FJ on Saturday, might get them mounted up if they look good and I have time.

Unfortunately there are not any places to wheel around here... There is a park called Dresser that is not to far from Taylors, but they are only open a few weekends out of the year. And there is a guy that lives close to Dresser with some trails of his own, I have yet to check his place out. So I have no idea how much time it would take to get there, and to check out the trails...

Plus the FJ is just a mall cruiser, I only wheel my daily driver
