Bumper turned out pretty good, tire swing out works great.

First, thank you again for the kind replys :) And on the sticker sheet, I have something better on the way ;)

First time out on the rocks with it, I was very impressed with what it could do. I did roll it, several times, and flopped it on its side. But I wanted to push the truck, and see what it could do. I didn't build it to baby it :)

Full gallery from todays comp, I didn't take to many pictures during the comp today. I forgot my bigger memory card

I can't beleive how many times I checked this thread to see if there were any updates today....
 
Yeah no updates yet, after busting ass on this for 2 weeks I needed some time to just relax. I am not sure when I will do more work on this one yet.
 
Finally got my badges from Germany last night. I painted them and glued them in place last night, went out side this morning and snapped some pictures :)

Thanks, the body is made by pro-line and called the bushwacker. They used to make a fj40 body with the proper hinges and front bib, along with some other details. But Toyota wanted to much in licence fees. So they changed it to get around that.
 
this is freaking amazing. Maybe this should be in hardcore! :)
 
Where did you order those badges from? I've got a few of those bodies and I'd love to get ahold of some of those badges.

Are you on rccrawler.com as well? Some of that stuff looks familiar. Nice work.
 
Wow!!! It even has the cruiser lean built right in!!

seeing this has come up a couple of times in this thread, and the frame was made from the service manual dimensions... must be that it's built into the frame geometry?
