    Some of you may be familiar with this beastly FJ.

    We rebuilt everything firewall forward on this rock bashing monster. We started out by building an all new high-clearance front tube section and then began on relocating the motor further back to ensure the front axle wouldn't contact it during compression and articulation.

    What rock rig would be complete without a gnarly front bumper that's designed to mow down anything standing in this behemoth's way?

    Once the front section was set we began to tackle the interior with a whole new aluminum dash, running what seemed like MILES of wire, building sturday tube doors with Aluminum Skins, and building some nice interior rear panels.

    This FJ is both! It has been used to race in rock crawling events. Or it can be just a toy for somebody.

    Yes, it is currently installed on the vehicle.

    The customer needed more clearance for the big 42's so the stock frame rails and cross members had to go. Instead of the frame being basically flat it now kicks up to allow the solid axle to have more up-travel. We also pushed the motor back a few inches to get even more up travel out of it.

    We didn't do the original build on it. I believe All-Pro had part in the original build way back in 2009 and it has evolved ever since.
