Builds Fly By Night

[PabloCruise]

It’s hard for me to keep from spilling my guts for the sake of continued conversation in this chat-room.

So this is probably my personal favorite LC color combo. The paint on Bucky is probably the closest they came on an FJ55. There’s a grayer version of beige on FJ40’s that was never offered on a 55 (that I can recall). That’s what I’m looking to do.
Some have come close to doing what I have in mind, but never completely nailed it, so...

I like that idea!
A little more subtle than the new cement gray color:

Going to incorporate this too, where the B-pillars and window frames are painted black with tinted windows. That will be one detail to help break up the monotony of a single tone. No stripes (Bob) just B-pillar and window frames. That’s it. That’s all this pic is for.

I didn't know your crossmember was removable or am I missing something?

Detachable...

Actually been digging this recent trend to the flat tones. Works for Toyotas and Jeeps. BMW’s, not so much.

Or, as they should call it in AZ, post-fade, post-oxidation or pre-patina.

Not a 55, but a "new" 55.


Needs to be a little more gray.

Yeah man, that’s pretty close to what I’m talking about isn’t it? Like you say, it’s a little more of a tan than the grayer beige. Now let’s put some gray or black steels on there with 35’s - even the white spokes would look cool. Get rid of the fender flares, make the door handles black, add more significant black bumpers and sliders, and you’re pretty close to what I’m envisioning.

Thanks for posting that @FJBen

Didn't realize you planned to use that picture or I would have started with a better version of the album cover.

Well of course I’m gonna use it! Not gonna let that 30 minutes of your time go unnoticed

Can we play with this?
