The FJBetty Build... blood, sweat, and paychecks




I bought my 4x4 AT Black Diamond in the fall of '07 with the intent of turning her in too an expedition, travel, and go anywhere rig. While it's been a lot of trial and error (or trail and error) as far as finding the right set up, I'm pleased with her ever evolving progress.

The mods so far:

Superwinch epi.9 with synthetic line with safety thimble
All-Pro rock sliders
Bud Built full skids

All-pro lower rear link upper mount skids
Man-a-fre lower rear shock mounts
All-pro Heavy duty Steering kit
Extended steel brake line
Body mount chop
Scuba modscuba mod

OME medium coils in the mail (heavy is just to ridged, without enough flex)

Tires and wheels
Stock alloys painted black the how to paint your wheels thread

Spare tire Blitz gas can carrier (modified to include back up light)
Bass pro shop and trail teams duffels for recovery gear, tools and parts
