* DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *

I am so tired I cannot even see straight. Slobin3d " aaron " and I delivered it at 11pm last night, 1 hour before the deadline "thumbsup" it left for the Detroit locker tour with the 1:1 at 5am this morning, with any luck it will be in 4-wheel and off-road magazine with the 1:1 in a featured article about his truck in the next couple months."thumbsup"

This was a really fun build, but we did cram it into a short time frame. Nothing much else to say, I will get the video up soon, it crawls as good as it looks, the winch is superb and the led's, well they just kick ass!

He test drove it and rolled it within 5 minutes, he had a smile from ear to ear, could not get enough of it."thumbsup"

bushwacker was for mockup, fj-40 body will be the only one on it.

the frames are not cheap, send me an e-mail please, I am not a vendor here and do not want to break the rules.

Very nice! I have a Bushwacker body just sitting on the shelf waiting to be put to use. I know it isn't as nice as the Proline original body, but it is good enough for me and my kid to build some day.

And that "real" 40 is super sweet too. I saw it last summer at the Divide Ride in Whitehall, Montana.

Thanks Eric,

it was a blast to build. I got a call from the owner, he is out on the detroit locker tour this week, broke a stub shaft and 2 inner axles, but was able to do trail repairs on all and the R/C cruiser is back up and running strong!

better bring the BIG checkbook. we had all the parts laid out in advance, final assembly took 5 days.

Thanks for all the good words guys. I guess it was a pretty big hit on the " detroit tour " , got about 30 hours of drivetime on it in 7 days

Even got compliments from robbie gordon, owner of mastercraft seats and clifton slay, owner or poison spyder customs. Both drove it and both loved it.

watch for it in the next few issues of 4-wheel and off road mag.

Thanks for all the emails and PM's guys, glad everyone likes it as much as the owner does.
