Looks awesome! and I love the retro tagging on the gate.

Now get some armor on there and finish the look

How was getting the flares back on? Did you use new welting?

 

[AZchris]

Wow, love that color scheme. Did you do all the work yourself?

 

[Ozdunc]

Looks great.

Are you sure you want to trust that to a 16 year old

At least he knows the amout of work that went it to it when hes polishing out his first ding.

 

[Big Green]

wow, that looks amazing...... Like factory amazing. Great job!

I'm with you on the armor. Bumpers and sliders will on the build list.
I reused the factory black welting I bought when I painted them silver.

Wow, love that color scheme. Did you do all the work yourself?

Yes, my son and I did the sanding, prep and taping on Saturday's. I shot the paint/clear on early Sunday mornings.

Man, how about that, looks perfect! I would have that done in a heart beat if I had the skills or extra $.

Where does one get the cool looking 4wd sticker, that is just what I need to finish off my de-flare and de-everything of the rear hatch.

Here's one of my favorite pics after painting the tailgate with the retro FJ40 decals: Wanted to use the real emblems, but the TOYOTA one is curved.

Did you have the decals made or did you find them on MUD or eBay?

 

[autobon7]

I'm with everyone else on this.....looks fantastic. Great color scheme. Are you a painter by trade? Perfecto

 

[MANUCHAO]

That's hot !!

 

[Jacket]

Not that you need yet another person to tell you how good that looks, but DAMN! A cut above the rest for sure - nice work.

What lift do you have and what tire size ?

 

[Jrob80]

Any reason you decided to leave the roof rack on? I thought maybe you would have taken it off and welded the holes shut?

With that said great looking rig love the color scheme.

 

[treerootCO]

One of the best looking 80s I have seen Love the color!

 

[kipper]

LOVE the 40 badges on the back, sweet!

Bluetribal and jeffro109 here you go:

Spector Off-Road

Part # 350-08 Toyota decal $3.00
Part # 350-12 4wd decal on sale for $ 1.91

SOR has a 20 dollar minimum order as I recall. I ordered 4 sets for about 25 bucks with regular parcel post shipping. Good thing I ordered extra, the one Toyota decal I was getting ready to install had and orange line in it that my son luckily noticed, so we grabbed another and put it on.

What lift do you have and what tire size ?

IronMan lift from Camel 4x4 (TOY024BKG Performance with Gas Shocks)
Call Eli at Camel 4x4 and Outdoor for 4x4 Parts and Accessories

I would call it a 2.5" lift. I think their website calls it a 2". I got about 3" in the back and 2" in the front. I added a 1 1/4" metal spacer I built to the front to level it out. Probably should have made that one 1", it is slightly higher in the front. As far as the ride, it is unbelievably smooth. Can't say enough about it. My wife wishes I would have got it 150K miles ago. Anyway 323K and climbing.

and 33x10.5 BFG Mud Terrains

Here's a little different look from the side:
