Red Cloud Road and camping with the M677
i have always wanted an FC 150 OR 170 they are so cool looking, but i have two 98 ZJ grand Cherokees. a 5.9 limited, i have a 90 Grand Wagoneer, and a 76 Jeep J10 project i got last fall that is a project ive done a lot of work too.. I use it on the farm too but im carefull to not beat it up as i restore it. So im not sure if i can handle a 5th Jeep lol.. honestly if i could find a running decent shape fc150 someone would trade for the J10 i might do that trade.. but i dunno, the J10 is a better work truck bigger bed better engine so maybe i wont do that. There isa guy 40 minn from me who is selling a 62 FC150 for $850.. it has all its parts, bumper, bed, engine, drive train.. But it doesnt run of course, has lots of cab rust, and needs tires, springs are shot. But i feel $850 for such a complete fc 150 is a great deal... most people want thousands for fc's that have no engine, no drive train, all parts missing.. its kinda silly But ya
Absolutely love this build
Great video! What year is that M677? The dash looks fairly modern.
😮
Hi papa
Appreciate the video. What folding chair is that at the end?
Best camp chair I’ve used for on the trail. Folds up small. amzn.to/450hYbF
@@1stgearoffroad264 Thank you! Just ordered a pair for our upcoming overlanding trip along with this table mount. Great setup!
I just went to see the motorcycles going by La Roca, coming back from San Felipe on Sunday 6:00 am a Chase truck pulling a trophy truck passed me about 85 MPH !!! Those guys have those chase trucks well dialed !! I just didn’t want to keep up driving above 80 MPH in my 4 banger Tacoma 🤣🤣
Had a blast at the San Felipe 250 with the @ChristopherPolvoorde team. Got to travel on some pretty cool trails that I would not normally go out and find.
Nice truck
Bring it up to NorCal!
Loved to find one to restore
What gauge metal are you using for your body modifications?
Great video! Can you add a parts list that you have used?
Waiting for the final output.. From India.
Fabulous! Thank you for the informative video! Keep the information coming!
Trying to find time to put more videos together. Stay tuned.😊
Saw your finished build on IG just blowing up! Love the build man! Stoked for a break down in the future 🤘🇨🇦
What spot weld-cutting drill bit is that? Looks like it works better than what I have at the moment.....
This is excellent series of videos. giving me encouragement to do more on my own. Thank you.
Tbh the high center of gravity. And narrow wheel base would make me nervous of flipping lol
Where did you get grab handles
I like how easy to fix this car is good jop 🎉
If u get a crash wiht this trucky u are so dead or somiting lose ... And this in America u realy need money for fixing u in the Hospita.
really nice way you create new supports and brackets. Really informative video.!
Are you doing all body work? And paint? What color are you choosing? I can picture this one on a sand color 💪
Yes, on all the major body work then going to hand it off to someone else to do the final finish work and paint. Stay tuned to see what the rendering looks like for final design.
I have an fc dually and am getting ready to build a flat bed. Watching you for ideas.
is it stupid to try to drive a civic up
Maybe, but you might do undercarriage damage.
The M677 is a cool vehicle. Love the color choice. I watched a video of it at SEMA.
Is that the FC ish M677 that was at SEMA a year or two ago??
Yes.
Looks sturdy
Those gloves wont last 5 minutes when you use them for grinding, 🤣 , I like seeing the progress in your FC 🤛👍
I had to do the same modifications on my fc170 to keep the tires from eating the body . It looks good.
It’s going to be top notch

As a professional bodyman I first want to compliment your work. I'd like to make 2 suggestions for tools. 1st is an air powered or battery powered belt sander and second an air die grinder. Those will make the cleaning and preparing on the inside of the panels before you folded the flange. Also for finishing out welds. The electric grinder your using is just to cumbersome once you used those two recommended tools. Lastly I recommend adding to your hammer and dolly collection. Dagger tools , and body tools are two sites that have good prices and a lot of specialty hammers/dollies.
Beautiful fc!
Sweet machine. 4 door fc170. They did not make many of those.
Nice FC. Is the square body Chevy frame?
Original frame. Just adding Chevy style body mounts.
@@1stgearoffroad264 If you could do a walk around showing the original build. Just found your channel and have really enjoyed your videos.
God I love the FC. Yours are so nice. We rarely see them up my way and they NEVER look this clean. In fact when you walk us through the interior saying its seen some good use over the last 20 years. It is still in better shape than anything I have seen up here in the NE.
What power steering box are you using on this FS? Thank you!
Modified Toyota box.
Looking forward to this. Love the license plate.
I was wanting to watch this but I can't stand the music
Why the music?
nice rig
Congratulations on your channel! Liked making the drive with you 👏
I saw an a review dated 5/2017 that south of baileys cabin(Upper willows) is closed. Any confirmation this is still true? Any idea how far north you can go if coming from Borrego springs?
Yes it is closed for about 2 miles south of the cabin. You can still come in from the Borrego side up to about that point.
How have the spring held up after being reached?
They settled a little bit after a few days of driving which wasn’t bad. I expected that. When I went to the Baja 1000 and had to drive part of the track, I drove it a little harder than I normally would, and that caused them to settle down a little bit more . Next time I’ll re-arch a little bit more to start with. That will settle down about where they need to be.
This is so cool! I’m looking into FC’s now because I just inherited eight or more of these, along with miscellaneous axles, fenders, fuel tanks and I don’t know what else. Thanks to you I now need to fix at least one of up :)
Long line of Vehicles, I counted 31 .
