[NEW] All-Pro Build: Black Betty Solid Axle Swap

@allpro

I know you added a crawl box, but I was wondering if you know if the FJ xcase bolts up to the R151F? I'm looking to do a R151F swap with a FJ xcase. Are there any gear drive xcases that are left hand drop that match up to the R151F?

 

I'm in.

 

Does the new bumper require the control box to be relocated?

Just waiting for this bumper to be released!!

 

Any updates on this build? I realize the build is "done" but we all know how that works after wheeling it a few times... I want to see some shots of this thing on some serious trails!

 

from their facebook

 

Yeah my pants are very tight now...like when watching your first porno tight

 

What did the wheelbase come out to be? Looks pretty damn good, I'd imagine somewhere around 110" or so? reminds me a lot of the stance of some stretched LJs I've seen.

 

I want to know more about that front bumper. Curious to know how much it's going to weigh if it goes into production.

 

Where does that cage tie in in the front? How is it not interfering with those giant tires?

 

From what i've been told it is a concept tube bumper for the 2nd gens as of right now. They pln on making some tweaks (minor) to it before release to the public. Not sure of any specific timeline as of yet.

The cage ties back down to the frame by the sliders. It is tucked back in the fender well. I enhanced this picture so you can see where it runs along inside the fiberglass fender.

 

Factory WB is 110" on the single cabs, Black Betty is 115" right now. Front is moved forward 2" and rear is back 3".

 

What junkyard axle could be used with this kit? Diamond axle is too $$$ but I could otherwise make it work.

 

I know

But able to provide a ballpark timeframe for when that bumper will be available?

 

Suspense...

 

Sub'd for answers

 

Dana 44 or dana 60 depending on what tires you plan on running.

 

Thanks. I'm still looking for an answer to this.
