That certainly sounds better than Jagtoylet!

Maybe Catcruiser LS

Well anyway, once you're done with it, it should be a nice rig to drive, and it oughta last forever. Those are well engineered components.

It was too cold this weekend to want to do anything. Next weekend the forecasted temps are back in the 50s....

I am pretty sure we are going to low buck this one. Put cheapest walmart tires (205/235 rubber rake) on the existing jag wheels. 350/700R from the pile (small summit cam maybe) and pipes out the back.

Man, builds are easy without rust and not having to build new floors/body mounts Kinda makes me wonder why I've been doing such crazy, off-the-wall stuff.

I can come down maybe 4 or 5 inches without having to cut the rear floor depending on how brave I get with the notch

It's always amazing what you can get done when you don't have to repair something just to modify it.

I'm guessing that that notch is wide enough to slide the Jag IRS framework into. Right?

DO IT..............[ddd

Yeah, it will be designed to mate up with the jag stuff nice and tight.

well all that's left is to get out the flip flops and cut off wheels! [cl

I'm liking how this is coming along...but then I'm a little on the weird side...[P

It is supposed to warm up this weekend. I may try to set a small block in there this weekend. It would be nice to know where the front end will sit.

..........can't wait for the weekend

 

[Flipper_1938]

False alarm, I'm not going to dad's this weekend. I'm feeling under the weather.

 

[soltz]

sorry to hear that, get better. Happy thoughts your way

 

[Flipper_1938]

The flu is going around work. If I have it, I don't want to give it to my parents.

 

[Flipper_1938]

I should have gone. I'm fine.

Yep. I live 250 miles away from the playroom.

cool build different but still cool I scavenged a 91 Jag rear for my project and built my frame to match the notch I needed. you are lucky if all you have to do is c-notch the existing frame. keep the pics coming [cl

Yeah, the jag rear I have looks WAY easier to install than the 1991 rear that you are using.

This build really started as just a way to roll the body around after the 4x4 stuff was removed, but it is growing on me. I've liked FJ60's since I was a kid but, never really thought about lowering one. Crawling under it, with intent of robbing parts, made me really look at it. The frame and body look like they were meant to be lowered. Sitting on the jag stuff....it makes me smile.

I know that jag stuff has the same bolt pattern as chevy does, but has anyone ever seen late model corvette wheels bolted up to jag stuff? Do they clear the suspension and brakes? ...lots of cheap corvette wheels on craigslist [S
