Jason who owns the Atomic Toy painted his dash to match his truck and I did so on my 1/10 Atomic Toy, I liked it so I did this one the same way...It wont look so ricer once the black is painted in. | |

Well its about time for an update...I was worried that I was taking so long to build this, that the earths natural elements were going to change and start rusting away even plastic Toyota  figure I better get a move on...Installed some tail lights  SOR emblem  lighted gauges, non SR5 so no tach...will have to add an after market one later   If you look close you can see the turn signals  Also got a head light switch  and a ciggy lighter  and the start of the steering column  More later tomorrow...its 2:30 here...I think it might time for bed... |

Well you can't ever leave your doors unlocked here in NY, there is bound to be some jerk who will come and steel your radio...At least they were kind enough to unplug the harness and antenna...   Dinky Stock Yota wheel  Column is all finished up and has the key release, hazard switch, head light switch, turn signal lever, and tilt knob    Installed the column   More to follow |

I actually just might be able to pull it off...no guarantee since the SAS starts next weekend but I am doing work right now so I may get it finished! Dash is IN, next is to figure out how to secure the floor then I can get that ball rolling  | |

Been working on this like its my job, not sure what got me back into but now I am on a mission to finish it for the 1:1 FJ ride out to montauk in 2 weeks... I just ordered my favorite scale crawler ESC, none other then the Tekin FXR, super small with drag brake. Also ordered a matching spare tire and another set of marker lights and lenses for the one front fender. Onto the pics Lower heater duct  Floor with trans tunnel  Was trying to figure out a way to make the recaros look less plasticy and more realistic so I upholstered the centers of them  WTF an automatic   Thank god it has a has Buick 231 back by a TH350 and a twin stick   I add the line from the autoshifter to make it look a little bit better...I always make all my trucks a stick, figured I would try something different. Thanks to Axial and their kick ass interior parts its now a lot easier. Gas and brake pedal  Been thinking about this roll bar, its made from 2 stock roll bars...Any thoughts?   It would need to be trimmed down some  I also bed mounted the high lift using some brackets from the Axial interior kit  and modified some CadToChrome front hubs, next is to modify the RC4WD rears  Thanks for looking -Mike |

That Axial tree has tons of great things on it. I love the shifter cable touch. Seeing those little touches you put in your rigs really make them stand out. |

I don't like the roll bar, what is that 2-1/2 inch dom tubing lol? But I guess most people like it.
