Such is the nature of custom work. And the weeks keep passing by for me. Good work is never quick either.

I cant wait to see it.

Is your truck done matt!? I thought yesterday???

 

not quite yet, but it is very close

i posted this up yesterday...

 

asking price is too high isn't it?

 

^^ I thought fj's go for more than that stock?

 

i think the price is pretty fair. 4WD 2007 FJC w/ 18.5K miles and long travel, custom bumpers, close to $2000 in SAW shocks, lots of aux lights, painted fiberglass...

 

I bet they don't get that price for the FJ. It's nice but not 30k nice. I would be lucky to get 30k for my truck.

 

word. $30K is fair for the amount of work and parts but the trick is finding somebody who's gonna pay that much

 

Very true. There was a foriegn buyer who responded to my for sale ad I had earlier this year and they were set to buy it for my 25k price. That was without this last slew of upgrades.

I decided not to sell it at that time and the buyer went to DMZ and had Tim build them a truck and ship it overseas. Its a crazy truck market sometimes.

 

i always thought that it doesn't matter how much you put into it it's nice, and has crazy low miles for an 07, I have almost that many miles on my 2010

 

Was the truck he was building going to the middle east? If so I saw that over the summer when I went and visited their shop.

 

I found a shop to do my cab chops, I was going to have them do some spindle gussets too, would it be a bad idea to pick up a set of total chaos alignment tab gussets? Bad idea?

 

I was wondering that too. Really looking into getting a set of the TC Spindle gussets and alignment tab gussets...

 

better safe than sorry

what can it hurt?

better to be a little poor with a working truck than rich with a broken truck

 

I have the TC spindle gusset and they seem fine. Haven't had an issue.

Its not going to hurt anything if you add those alignment tab gussets. My buddy has them and they are beefy. Just note to put those on you have to grind or air chisel the oem ones off then weld the new ones on. The come in pieces and you weld them together then weld them to the frame. If you even wheel hard (Crawling or fast desert) and hit something you will be happy that you had them so you don't stuff you wheel back like I did.

 

well is my alignment shop going to give me shit after cause they cant fully adjust anything or will it be fine?
