It's too bad there's not a rear end shot below the nose shot. That would make a simple square and look good. I'd do a shirt of just those 4 views with UZJ100 below it.
My favorite. And Garie's shirts last forever.

Sounds interesting tell me more Im not following you a 100%
I would suggest going to another shirt besides the gildan. As a screen printer myself, we run into many, many problems with gildan on a daily basis. We printed 144 shirts yesterday, navy gildan ultra cotton, and we had 12 defective shirts out of that batch. That is a ridiculously high defective rate and it has been the norm for about a year. Also, there will be many colors that are going to be on back order due to the earthquake in Haiti but we don't know exactly what is going to happen just yet.
The end user isn't likely to see the bad shirts with oil stains and holes in them if the printer catches them but there will always be a couple that slip through the cracks. Alot of the problems will also occur after the first couple washings with the seems coming un-hemmed at the bottom and at the sleeves. Overall, gildan has the highest, by far, reject rate of any shirt manufacturer out there. Hanes, Port and Company or Anvil would be a higher quality tee for sure, even Jerzees at this point. Just my opinion, coming from someone who sees thousands of tees a week.

I employee a graphic artist with a 5 color press
I have made some examples for some stuff I was going to make just for me. But some one else could use it if they want. How about this.

Please post any and all new design ideas.
Keep in mind you want to keep the ink to a minimum to keep it cool. The blueprint graphic is great for summer wear.
Looks like Phil's got it covered. Phil, if you need anything above 5 give me a pm if you don't already have someone local.

Eh, too much going on there for me. But, keep the ideas coming. I've got one I'll have to flesh out tonight, thinking about what's unique about the 100.

Thanks Alan nice to know there is a fellow Cruiser available if we ever need assistance.
the racing stripe on the front would be nice, but have the side and top view, just a pair of them on the back with UZJ-100 written in bold between them
Here's mine (pics from Safari Snorkel).

thats awesome! but we should have the option to choose the color of the 100 series in the shirts
not necessarily a shirt specific to the 100 series, but I would love to see a shirt that has the "evolution" of land cruisers across it: 40, 55, 60, 70, 80, 100, then 200 in chronological order. I'd consider doing the vehicles in black line drawings either facing forward or facing to the right (passenger side facing viewer) and maybe underneath each one put the model number and year it came out in small script. underneath everything I would perhaps put in larger script something very simple like "toyota land cruiser" so that it underlines the images. perhaps more script could be added in under that, something clever and something that hypes land cruisers.

we should vote and nonimate pictures for the shirts, kinda like what JT diffs did for their trailer
yes loud, you can gloat abt how you won
I like the idea, but seems like a lot on a shirt.
