I'm with you Daniel...about 99% done and it wasn't 'easy', I suppose doing
this sort of stuff never is.
Nothing in the conversion has been real rocket science, just time consuming
and expensive (I'm up over 8K including brake and susp upgrade).
My tip for anyone considering the conversion, SR CA FJ whatever is DONT TRY
AND RUSH IT!
Don't try and jam new running gear into your daily driver over the weekend
or you are in for heart ache.
I'm sure I'll forget all the long nights and f#$%K ups after the first
drive.
Cam.

it didn't fit very well.
