I just saw through Facebook that Todd, a.k.a. River Beast on the forums has passed away.
Although I haven’t seen him online for some time he was a highly active member on IFSJA in the early 2000s and a pioneer of the spring over axle swap on the full-size jeep.
Rest in peace, sir.

You know it's bad when your car is on the EPA's 10 most wanted list!
Well Crap! He was like one of the 'original' build guys back when the sport was taking off and the internet allowed us to share information. RIP buddy.
I, like many of the other old timers, loved watch Todd build River Beast through all the iterations that it had. It was easily the most well known FSJ in the early 2000's.
There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.
