Justdifferentials / Nitro Gear Project "Inigo" 87 bj73 Landcruiser LHD, from Spain

Front and rear bumpers & sliders done

Turns out the Synergy rear Jeep JK bumper was close in width, so we modified it a bit. Turned out to be more work than expected as we had to move the pivot and latch and widen the carrier. Next up is doing the links and axles & some Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2.5"x12" travel remote reservoir coilovers with compression adjusters. Hoping to have it done in time for a shakedown at Cruise Moab.

Wow Carl! I had no idea what was going to come of this when I saw the first teaser pic. Looking forward to seeing this beast in action!

Just curious what you plan on doing for the e-brake linkage since the stock brackets have been removed.

Build looks really good!

Latest

Here's the latest rendering. Even pasted in the Hutchinson Rockmonster's I'm thinking larger logo on doors instead, but otherwise looks good. The idea is to match the RV tow vehicle and the mountains will help cover the minor paint issues left from removing the OEM gold and orange graphics. What do you think?

I think it would look best without any decaling (or just small decals), but I completely understand why you would want to advertise with this truck.

Looks good!

I think the graphics look sharp, I know its just a rendering but I think the front axle could probably move forawrd a pinch, and although the hutchisons are sweet, if your going to use this for some advertising you could always get a custom weld on bead lock from diybeadlocks.com or one of the vendors on pirate to make something with your logos on it.

 

[crushers]

sorry, pass.
it isn't doing anything for me.

maybe just a nice small NITRO decal and your company decal ...

subtle speaks louder than bold. no?

 

[jonharis]

I like how it ties into the camper. I have to disagree with Crushers. I think it's adequately "loud" for a marketing truck. I love that the color scheme is simple with just a splash of color in the logo. I'd leave the hood blank. It already looks way better than a lot of the in your face marketing trucks you see these days.
