Where did you order the plate from ? Would love to have one for my 45

@Hitoy4x4 I didn’t know you could request which magnet you received from Rockauto. If I had any left I would send it to you. 
I think I bought that tag from @ToyotaMatt

Such a sweet truck. I know 80 series aren't much on your radar (didn't you say mine was the first you ever rode in when we were at SAS2?) but that 40th next to you is pretty nice. I wish we in our little group in Michigan had such get togethers! If the drive was less I would join in!
. Now Samson has a little buddy. 
Wow, impressive attention to detail. Happy birthday!

Thanks Mike!
Paul I had not noticed the “made in USA”. That’s hilarious because the RC came from China.
For the price this unit has very good detailing. The hood, doors and tailgate open. The top is removable and the windshield lays down. It has a Hi/Lo transfer case and all of the lights function. The headlights have Hi/Lo beams, the turn signals work F/R, tail lights, stop lights and reverse lights. The frame is metal with functional leaf springs and shocks. All of this for about $250.00 shipped.

Dang, this is more functional than my 45 lwb, for which I paid over an order of magnitude more for! In fact, your list pretty much summarizes what I’ve been working on. Amazing.
I haven't checked in here for ages.
Really love the model. Do you know if there is also a troopie version available?

Hi Michael!
Unfortunately a visit to the states is not in the books anytime soon.
I'm toying with the idea to ship over my diesel 100 series daily one day. Drive around the us for a while and sell it. It needs to be over 25 year old, but it's "only" 18 now. So that won't happen for at least 7 years.
