The green thread is out pacing us... long live the BLUE 40's!

 

[Blue 40]

'78 BJ40, custom, built for the southern Philippines.

6/70 FST

When I bought it, Capri Blue was hiding under just a few coats of paint (at least red and a beige house paint). Made my own version of Capri using some Devoe Coatings Urethane Enamel. It was a crazy idea and came out a little "different" but I won't kick her out of bed for eating crackers. After I started the resto

I've got OEM seats and FST doors currently in the works. Oh, and I'm removing the shackle reversal right now!

SMG,

That truck is super sharp! Where did you get your rear bumper/carrier? Nice, work, seems like finish line would be in your rearview by now...

Cheers, matt

Matt,

Thanks for the nice compliment. I made the rear/swing out bumper myself. Have a look at my build.

Thanks

you can see my old (mostly) sky blue fj40. I've since spray painted the top and sides though.

Here's a paint job I would like to do that's inspired by my dad's old Toyota Chinook truck/camper. I used to love it when I was a kid and so this paint job would be a tribute to my dad. What do you think? Excuse my poor photoshop skills lol.

I liked where you were going with the legacy of your father's scheme. To share my perspective, I added a distressed, brickish-red stripe as a third stripe at the bottom, and included my concept of a semi-distressed logo I was believing could be compatible here.

Oooh I like it. That does look good. I was open to some ideas like that so thanks for the inspiration.
