Re: 1987 sj410 xud engine, coil sprung and Toyota axles

Thanks! Literally a random colour picked from a paint website and it's turned out quite alright. Starting to price back together now. Made some snap fastenings for the roof so it's abit tighter and secure, will do for now. Both seats bolted in now. Rear bumper next to sort, and of course to finish p...

Re: 1987 sj410 xud engine, coil sprung and Toyota axles

It was nice to give the old girl a wash after god knows how long. Not many more jobs to do now. Rear bumper is the main one but I think I'll just copy the bumper from the blue sj. The rear tub is very strong so a bumper is only for aesthetics and to hold the lights. Not a fan of lights in the rear t...

Re: 1987 sj410 xud engine, coil sprung and Toyota axles

A colour was chosen and paint has begun. It's not going to be a perfect job but a presentable job that I can use off-road and touch up as and when.

Re: 1987 sj410 xud engine, coil sprung and Toyota axles

Thanks! Ye I don't want to lose the SJ agility but gaining an extra 10/11" wheelbase will help loads off-road stability

Re: 1987 sj410 xud engine, coil sprung and Toyota axles

She sees daylight! I actually had abit of a drive down street in her and I'm impressed all things considered. Although if the Speedo is correct im in 4th gear at 25mph in high box :oops: Couple of side by side shots with my turquoise SJ. Remember the wheelbase on the turquoise is 84" so you can...

Re: 1987 sj410 xud engine, coil sprung and Toyota axles

The headlight guards have been sent off for powder coating. Whilst I'm deciding what paint I can do abit of wiring. Still need to find the temp...

I think I will look for some 10.5 tyres and use the alloys I have. Then sell my 12.5 wheel and tyres on.

Re: 1987 sj410 xud engine, coil sprung and Toyota axles

Well she's home. Not a proper side by side but you can sort of get the idea, blue ones wheel base is 84" green one is 91" (roughly) you can see how much longer it is in comparison. It also looks alot higher but it's only an inch higher, more camera angle than anything. So now it's time to ...
