I’m not so sure that the former owner is going to think of this as “the highest, best use” of his beloved fj45, or at least of the 22% of it that isn’t on the junk pile outside. Paul found a unicorn and chopped off it’s horn, lowered it, sectioned it and now has a donkey with a few bits of glitter still clinging to its sides. I like it, but It doesn’t make me proud that I do.

I promised one of my sons he could have it when I'm done with it. I'll never be done with it because I bit of more than I can chew.

Paul, Not that I would ever question your work but,,, that heater hose, the one that was leaking, may want another look. I think you even questioned if it would flow? It looks awfully tightly bent. You don't want to restrict the flow just because you are in a hurry to get it done. Could you bend some tubing to put in there or make the hose longer? That radius bend just looks flat, but maybe it is just the camera angle. Be careful out paying in the snow. Love you guys.

My twin sister Itty is out in the field in our 8RX John Deere tractor just sitting there I tried texting and calling her and she didn't answer. Indigo told me a new fabrats video popped up so that explains it. Itty answer your goddam phone.

So much for the "EASY" button. Perseverance and tenacity are paying off Paul. All of us out here are on the edge of our seats waiting to see the FJ in action. It must be TWICE as frustrating for you. "Slow, but, sure" as I always say.

I wish that I had all the tools you have when I built my Race Car, life would have been sooooo much easier. I had a drill press, a 120-volt MIG welder, and a press all sheet metal was done with a homemade brake, AKA a home built Picnic table car was built to SCCA Specs it ran in the top 5 in all races and I requested to start in the last position because it was a 4cyl running with V8'S. Life was GOOD when I was YOUNG!

I'm amazed by you guys wearing t shirts when there's feet of snow outside. From what I could see the heater was't fired up, either. You sure are hardy souls in that part of the world. Greetings from Australia

I think I would made attachment fittings for the hydraulic hoses out the back of the cab. That way you could easily disconnect them without taking anything inside apart. Maybe have valves too so you could shut them off and not loose fluid out of the brake handles

I think this rivalry deserves more than just a drag race. You and Matt need to drag race, drift, flex, jump, hill climb, and tractor pull these beasts!

Holy crap, that looks exactly like the NAPA here in Cranbrook B.C. We've got a couple feet of snow now. The look on Graydon's face about says it all. Great progress on the FJ.

I really love how family, friends, Derby friends, all work together on their KZbin channels and their projects. Robby, Matt, Rory, Paul, Chad etc. It also helps with the mystery of KZbin metrics! And cousin Randall is really finding a good niche with his photography as well as asking good questions! The questions he asks help us to understand what's going on on the project that Paul's working on. Again, I still love the family and friends thing!

What I like about Fab Rats, Paul shows victories and failures. Not like the Motor Trend, Gears, 4x4 etc that use 99 per cent new parts. This is more like us followers, if you can't afford or find a part (way), you make it work somehow. Also multiple trips to parts houses. If you can't return, save for future projects. Like the small mill.

Pretty good... why don't u fit a interior snorkel to avoid flood the engine when crossing water? Here in Portugal I've already fitted one that wasn't seen from the outside on a MIx of a BJ40 front and all the Land Cruiser VX 3.0D for Trials. Is simple to pass the intake air Tube on the Inside and put it receiving nice fresh air in the rear top of the cabin. Meaby, also put the ECU systems away from ground, i leterally put the electronics near the roof after place the interior Roll Cage... Basicaly it is a VX landcruiser with a BJ40 Front... Donne it in 2002 and still runs today...last time I saw it was running 40" Maxxis Trepador tyres..
