I go out to dinner with my wife and come home to pictures of an FJ that is not only driving, but flexing in the DO ditches. Thanks Jason for a great birthday present! Needless to say I won't be sleeping much between now and when I pick it up! Then I'll be sleeping in it! Awesome job Jason!
Here's a little SAC porn for everyone...
The rear sway bar is connected in these shots and the rear air bumps are set to bump out way to soon. The air bumps will be adjusted today and once the rear sway bar is disconnected the rear flex will be sweet!
I will be adding a 1" wheel spacer to the rear for clearance. As it is now the rear axle is stock width which causes the tires to rub the inner fender when fully stuffed. No big deal they rubbed before the swap..
Looks like 40's will clear without any issues. () The rear height is a little high right now, but Jason will eventually make a rear bumper with a tire carrier and that will weight it down a little. Not to mention the Deavers will settle a little with some miles on them.
Oh my GAWD, that's a beautiful machine. We've all been waiting a long time to see this Sol and I think I can safely say you own the crowning achievement in the FJ world. Jason's work is... well I'm speechless.
It looks great Sol. Congrats to you and Jason and his team. I think 40's will look amazing on it. Put them on after you drive it all the way home, or you'll be spending all that extra cash on fuel!
In the pictures the rear sway bar is connected and the air bumps are set to bump out far to soon. The air bumps will be adjusted today and once the sway bar is disconnected the rear flex will be awesome. Even with everything the way it is now the rear flex is still awesome (far better than stock).

Well, I didn't get to ride in it, I had to leave before it was mobile but I did drool a bunch on it, sorry.. it should clean up fine though... most of it..
I did give the webcam some hand signals as I walked by though!
As long as you only got drool on it were OK. Anything else and I would have to make Jason clean it.

Thanks! I agree that Jason's work is incredible.

Wyatt keeps telling me that I need 40's. LOL! I'll run the 35's for a season and then decide what's next. As for getting it home, she will be a trailer queen on the ride home.
