Re: Killed Bessie (my FJ) and will be building another...

Wow Matt, sorry to hear that.

Guess I'll be taking the detour around the ol' swimmin' hole from now on.

Re: Killed Bessie (my FJ) and will be building another...

Yeah, it's been a tough pill to swallow. Especially since it is just a couple of weeks before our big Eglin run! Guess I need to have a replacement by then at least. Otherwise I guess I'll be ridin' as a passenger for my own run!

My plans for Bessie II are pretty much the same as the original, but I want to do it better, especially in the area of secondary wiring/fusing. Perhaps my body mount chop will be done more neatly with a good boxing in. I dunno.

What I DO know is that a whole lot of stuff on Bessie is going to be coming off before she's turned over to the insurance bozos. A WHOLE lot. Luckily I have access to nearly every stock item needed thanks to BirdMan!

Re: Killed Bessie (my FJ) and will be building another...

I was wondering if you were going to get to strip the mods before they get her.....Hopefully it all goes smooth for you.

Only thing I have are stock rear springs/shocks and stock intake but if you need them they are yours.
