1984 Toyota 4Runner

[Colby]

Damn noob, you can tell you have done 10 or 20 of these. Looks great man. Ready for a trip down south?

[heartless]

Awesome work, noob! it shows that you have done this more than once - the details are outstanding! =)

And love the weathered spare! if this wasnt a scale site, I would swear that tire just came out from under a real truck.

[HDMM]

Really nice work, I dont know even where to begin with styrene work. What do you use for glue? CA?

I'd like to do a crew cab pick up sometime, I just dont know if I can do the styrene work good enough.

Thanks bud. It also helps helps to have one rusting in the driveway now.

Thank you! I'm proud of that little spare tire.

Thanks. I don't use CA, I use MEK. I prefer using solvents and fusing the plastic rather than gluing it. And don't be afraid to try, it's easier than it looks.

A solvent such as Tenax or Bondene or whatever it's called. I use MEK because it's cheap and hazardous.

I couldn't find any shocks that were short or thin enough so I built my own. They are made from 1/4" and 3/16" brake line and some 1/8" rod. Shock boots are from a Bruiser. I ran out of Sophisticated Finishes rust paint so I had to weather them old school with paint.




I also threw some details on the axles. Breather, fill and drain plugs.

Very nice

After many years on here, yours are the posts I look forward to and why I keep reading. Your love of Toyota trucks knows no bounds.

[pardonmyn00b]

Thanks guys.



Started on the grille. Those are Tamiya Wrangler headlight buckets.


Plasti-Dip yer wheelz!


Kinda looks like a 4Runner now!

Subscribed, love this body style, looks like the 85 I used to own! Wish I had the skills you do to make my own.

I'm particularly fond of this style too.



More work up front.

Of course. Only Jeeps can go off road.

Thanks friend.



I didn't accomplish much today, but I did play in the dollhouse.

Very cool Id like to see you build an RC woodsplitter or something to tow behind this
