Merfal's Rig

This rationale is what I used to buy a nice Lincoln Electric MIG welder that I use about once every two months.

Looking good, cant wait to see it with wheels/tires. Same thing happened to me, got to ride around on 2.5-3" of lift with stock 265's for a week because of failed promises by a wheel retailer...I'm sure it'll be worth the wait!

Today I was finally able to get my wheels and tires mounted and installed. I love the way it looks, and am happy with the wheels I bought. They are 33x12.50 and rub just enough that I will have to do the body mount chop. I will do that either tomorrow or Friday and post pics of that as well.

I've liked those tires for a while. They are a nice looking AT tire. The FJ looks good. Now come join us on a trail ride!

I will be at URE on Sat.

I did the body mount chop today. I will take pics in the next couple days; I was in a hurry. I didn't even paint it yet. I will have to clean it up and paint it and will take pics.

Definately need pics of your handywork!

I have my Dirty Parts Dual Battery kit but my Odyssey PC1700MJT doesn't fit Now I'm going to have to try to sell it in order to buy a 1500DT. I'm hoping that won't be too much of an issue since my 1700 was $100 more new six months ago.

I'm installing the dual battery kit. I went ahead and bought the Optima yellow top because I was able to pick it up today and I was able to get it for $161 vs $280 plus shipping for an Odyssey. I feel like I'm cheating on my Odyssey though.

All I have left to do at this point is the interior stuff which I will knock out tonight and post pics.

If anyone is interested in my PC1700MJT (stock size dual purpose battery that retails for almost $400) let me know and I'll give you a screaming deal on the one I've been running for only six months.

i really want to see that dual set up! im thinking bout doing this also as im now saddled with a winch...and a few extra electicals...

Here it is completed. I did a write up in the how to section.





Tomorrow I will be installing the Blue Sea fuse box, an inverter, two 12V plugs, and wiring my ham radio up to the Blue Sea fuse box as well.

I'm going to turn the positive side cable around tomorrow and hide most of it behind the battery as well.

Anyone want a factory battery sized Odyssey?

Fuse box installed!!!

those blue seas fuse boxes are the $h^t...

agreed

how many slots are available in that box??

I used a 6 slot box. I thought about buying a bigger box but I decided I will just add a second box if I need more, partly because they are only rated at 100 amps. I don't think I will though. I will have lights, a radio, two 12V plugs, and inverter. All said and done I'll have two open spots to play with.

awesome...im gonna do one simply because of the lights and winch...

Loving your mod selections.
Great job.

Thanks

What did I get myself into????




A M105A2, a monster, but new springs, axle, and wheels and tires it might start to be useful. I wouldn't have done it but I picked it up for less than I can scrap it for, probably less than what I can scrap the existing springs, axle, and wheels for.

Anything you put on it is going to slide right off. Its slanted. Young should have sprung a little more for a flat one.

wow...a 6 inch lift on the FJ may level that puppy out...

I like it, you can see all kinds of possibilities!
