What's the antenna on the right side??

That's the Yaesu ATAS-120A antenna for my HF/VHF/UHF amateur radio (Yaesu FT-857D). I can tune the SWR on that baby for any band I'm on with the push of a button on my microphone.

I anticipated this thread and now it's up! I'm looking forward to reading and learning.

Wow!!! Anticipation about my little ole FJ??? It can't touch most of the builds on this forum.

What happened to the other thread? I feel like I'm in the twilight zone.

You might be... That is a true statement sir... The original build thread was destroyed because all the links to my photos were broken because the host website crashed.

Now since I know the cleaner way to create a build thread I can do it correctly.

I have a question for you. How do you like those donahoe front and rear coilovers? Do the tires you have on rub anywhere? I would like to buy the Donahoe or Allpro one. Don’t know which I will go with yet. Thank for your help

I love the Donahoes (sidenote: Now Icon Vehicle Dynamics). The AP setups are nice too. More than likelty I'll stay with Icon... Their coustomer service is amazing.

The tires are wonderful as well... No rub to speak of... Even with no lift (they were the "BugEater's" second mod) there was no rub and they are 285's. I have never chopped my mounts.

I have been waiting on this build thread for a long time! I can't wait to read all the information on your build Ollie! Great job buddy.
