Yeah thats the problem with being so proactive about it. It really only makes it worse! I do it just to make people laugh or to piss them off I really don't care otherwise. Believe it or not that sticker has actually gotten me into a fist fight in the past. That will just make me refuse to take it down.
Here are a couple more pics I have, One is the upper link mount on the axle. It is built from solid 5/8" thick plate and so are the gussets in the corners w/ 1/4" plate caps. At the time I felt like engraving a spider web on the piece in the center. I don't know if it will show in the photo. I used 1/2" plate on the actual mounting tabs, I decided to machine is down to 3/8" where the bolts are.
The other photo is my stainless twin stick shifter. I built it pretty easily, but no dust boot. The cruiser is so loud and leaky as is it just hasn't seemed worth building one. + I cant sew.

Nope, but it WAS inspired by a jeep, based on a jeep, and eventually reverse engineered from a jeep.![]()
nobody wants to hear that **** man.....i took mine to weigh it at a local truck stop before our trip out west this summer and i kid you not at least 5 people told me what a cool/awesome/badass jeep i had...
The Japanese are smart! They will let someone else do most of the work, then take the designs and improve them. You can't deny that these Landcruisers were built bullet proof compared to any jeep! The new Rubicon with the dana 44 axles is the toughest thing they have built. Its the only thing from their factory that could even compare, if you ask me. I dig early broncos, and even some internationals are cool, but you can't trump the cruiser!
You can build almost anything tough, but there are only a few that came that way stock.
The distortion has something to do with the software I've been using, and how I exported the frames. It's the adobe premier cs3 program, not being a computer person it can be overwhelming. I am still learning it, I can do some basic editing just fine, but it's complicated.
Sure it was smart. Not all that innovative, but smart. Thinking about it though it's not much different then what jeep did. GM steering, ford ignition, chrysler transmissions, etc etc. They took a bunch of off the shelf parts (in the later years anyway) and assembled it all into the modern day jeep. Modern day being the last 30+ odd years.
Trumping the cruiser, like all things politics, religion, and 4 wheel drive, is much a matter of opinion.They all have their good and bad points.
When I was in the Marine Corp my buddy had an FJ40. It was pretty cool but he spent a whole bunch of time under the hood. My other buddies CJ5 just ran. Mileage may vary of course.![]()
There are no guarantees on condition with vehicles of this era. Regardless the little axles and drivetrain of a stock cj-5 are nothing compared to the cruiser drivetrain strength. Pound for pound toyota built the toughest stuff in the early days cruiser or mini trucks. I would disagree about not being innovative though, these landcruiser were state of the art 30+ years ago. To each his own! I thought this was a landcruiser only site, times have changed I guess.
How those rear coilovers working out for you?
A TV monitor has 4:3 aspect ratio pixels, whereas a computer monitor has 1:1 pixels. You need to stretch it by 1/3rd horizontally. You can see that the lens is distorting the image substantially, but the lights are round.
Windows paint could probably handle this, but the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is most of Photoshop for the price of $0.00: GIMP - Windows installers
Looking at where the control arms mount to the top of your rear end, I'm thinking that housing isn't thick enough to match the beef of your mounts. I'd box that whole thing and extend it way out along the housing.
