Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

Found an awesome deal on a super scale FJ on eBay. I instantly snatched it up when I saw it.

It has pretty good flex. It should do well on the trails.

I test drove it around and it didn't perform near as well as the seller said it would. It broke in half when it saw a rock! Worthless.

I guess I'll fix it right this time... Stay tuned!

Let me guess....painting it black? :ror: following...

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

Whoa! That looks even more realistic than a real FJ Cruiser!

Just like a real one.

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

The limo-tint on the windshield is my favorite part.

Luckily, if the real FJ breaks in half, you can fix it with water. It is only rice paper panelling after all. Toyota FTW.

That WAS the plan, I don't know if it's going to happen now. I've got too much on the body now. :oops:

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

wow Lent, how many projects you got goning on now? Like a million? sweet come up!!

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

Too many. :lmao: Many have been sold, so I can focus on the 4 that are really worth it to me. Since this picture, the white Toyota has been completed. The TF2 isn't far behind- I'm expecting a fun package from ChinJapKong.

It grew fangs, I mean teeth- We're getting them straightened out.

No, this isn't for the FJC, but rather for the silver TF2.

Whoops, the doors fell off! Now, everyone is going to get wind in their hair.

Don't stare too hard, you may notice the cheap box wheel wells.

Had to make one of those cooling things in the front to overheat the motor. Wait, that's wrong.

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

that cooling thingy looks familiar

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

Yeah! Jeeps have them too! :ror:

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

Are those zip ties nice lol

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

Heck yeah! With zipties, you can easily make your own custom height/width for dirt cheap. Just gotta paint it the right color now.

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

No doors? What is this? Some kind of a Jeep? If that's the case, it's a Jeep thing and I wouldn't understand.


Talk to me about that yota axle with the brass on the end. What's it all about?

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

I could tell but I don't wanna spoil it.

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

It's the all new 2027 JeeTa! Doors are not standard equipment, nor are seats, only 5 gallon buckets.

I wanted to keep the doors, but I kind of built myself into a corner and couldn't get to the interior.

The Yota axle with the brass is a very special project that has only been done twice, both times by Chino63. Portal'ed Yota axles on a TF2! :mrgreen:

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
 

That's okay, I just did. 8)

NO pictures until I'm done though, that's the only teaser picture.





Since I have bumped my thread, I guess some more pictures are in order.... Right now, I'm on hold until USPS delivers a care package from Iman00b.


Door sills and seats. Don't hurt your hip getting in.

I found these tube doors in one of my parts drawers. I made these about a year ago for the New Bright TJ that never was finished. Turns out that they fit perfectly! I may try to make them functional, but I'm not certain yet.

Re: Cruisin' the FJ with the FJ Cruiser
