Measurements - Before and After SFA Conversion

**MissFJ** · 10-11-2007, 09:53 PM

More info in this thread: http://www.fjcruiserforums.com/forum...oject-sfa.html
driving around and catching people taking pictures of my FJ, I decide more specs need to be out there

I never measured my stock FJ, but figured that they were close enough to the measurements on this post to use:
Height Measurements Before & After Lift

So here goes the height comparison:

Stock / Conversion
Front Recovery Point, Passenger 14.13 / 23
Rear Diff 9.38 / 12
Rear Tow Hitch (bottom) 15.81 / 22.5
Mirror (bottom) 48.75 / 57.25
Rock Rails 14.69 / 22.5
Gas Tank 9.56 / 18
Exhaust Crossover 9.44 / 18
Wheelbase 105.9 / 110

I'm not sure if Glenn used some sort of laser pointer measuring tool, but the measurements I have a pretty damn exact!! Not bad for working without CAD

Here it is parked next to a stock FJ at the Pamona Offroad Expo:

The ride: Not as rough as I thought! The dual cases are stinky tho

Any other measurements people are curious about?

RTI ? What's up with the dual cases? Problems or sarcasm. Very nice project by the way. Hope to see it in person someday.

oh yea, RTI....

the case is leakin' a little. stinky.

A very cool project!!!! Those are some pretty serious Keds. A significant amount of the height must come just from the tires. I love the comparison of the spare tires in the view from the rear.

Nice Job MissFJ. I also look forward to seeing you in person some day.

the side by side pics are just nasty. It kinda makes me ashamed of my truck after seein those pics. the project makes the FJ look like a true rockcrawler/expedition/dunerunner/mudbogger/trailrunner/highway cruiser.

You need shifter boots. It helps cut down on the noise and would probably help with the gear oil smell a little.

BTW, I sent a shifter boot template to Jim so he could have them made up. If he doesn't have them send me a PM and I'll make another template and mail it to you.
