I need a lift and tires, BAD!

[cruiserdan]

Got my new Voodoo Blue FJC (get it, Voodoo? )

It needs suspension mods and new skins BAD!......



The problem is it's a 1:18 die cast and I can't find the goods.....

Someone posted a pic of their model with BFG A/T tyres. No lifts available yet.

Mine has BFG's but they are too small......


I guesss I'll have to scratch-build a lift. The tires will be a bit tougher.

That's the story of your life according to Sara. Everything's too small.... but you have a cheerful personality and you remember numbers better than any computer geek I know.

So Dan, what's the smart shopper price on those? I "need" one for my collection.

I can't remember where I saw it but some company has a lift for it already!

Mine was a gift. It even has a "certificate of authenticity"..;p I don't know if they can be bought.

Maybe you could post a pic? In the meantime, you should research coil-overs and spacers. I hear a Prado kit works with the FJC. Are you adding a winch?

It sounds like it's time to do some research?

I heard that if you swap out the springs from a Bic, then you get some lift, but the load carrying capacity is questionable. Sourcing the shocks is gonna be the hard part.
