No one ever votes for calfshyt brown 🤷🏼‍♂️
Calfshyte brown is the shiznit! But they all went to Australia 😕
There have been a few sweet gray rigs come down the tubes.
The one in the top pic especially. Not sure where it came from, build wasn’t shared on the IPPS anyways.

RUSH ... I bleive that top one is the only FJ55 that ICON resto-modded, they only went half way with it but still a nice build

And WOW ... didn't realize I was going to create such a sh!t storm over colour choice LOL
Going to see the guys at the body shop today to discuss colour selections

Cheers

It ain’t easy being green, especially on this forum. I’ve owned two each of green and blue and even a rare OEM solid red.
Green for the win!

Morning guys
So a little more explanation required here
Originally I paid a LOT of $$ for this truck with the expectations that I was not going to have to spend much more on body work.
When it arrived I immediately realized the 55 was not as good as believed and when I handed it off to my body/paint guy he confirmed.

Doors
Gaps on the doors where horrific, we had to add metal in sections around all 4 doors to get these right
I will send pics of the work, now it looks really good

Roof ... Yikes
When we pulled the interior liner out we realized that the roof was severely caved in abut mid-way and that the roof was indeed FILLED with inches" of filler
A good portion of the roof was going to have to be cut out and thats when my body guy pitched me the idea of greeting in a full electric sunroof and I said 'heck yes'

So, here we are ...

Again, I know the roof is not going to appeal to all and the finished truck may not be everyones favourite BUT if its a cleanly executed, quality build that some will think incredible and others will appreciate then I've done exactly what I set out to do

Cheers
Steve
