Default Supershafty builds and LC70

Had to get one of these land cruiser pickups. from the start the thing is beautiful. It has a great finish right out of the molds on the parts trees. Almost no seams anywhere. I am also pretty happy with the detail and the number of parts that it has. It really is like building a static model. But this one I get to drive around.



Looks like it came with a box of parts too. So that's promising.



I starts playing around with some different wheels to see what it looks like. It's definitely a tiny tire truck to be sure. Gonna have to go with something under four inches on this truck to make it look good.

It's also very narrow so I'll have to narrow some axles for it I think.

Up next I wanted to address the non usable hood and doors. They come in separate pieces but of course they don't open. They actually expected me to just bolt them down.

Couple hours of fabbing and hinges.

Haven't seen them in stock in any shop just yet.

A German shop had them listed as additional information on the body itself, that's how I learned about them. I verified the part numbers on the Killerbody website (no photos there though) - but I recently found some photos in other shops (a Czech shop even had pictures of all these options, so I linked each part to that shop down below):

KBD48610 - Mov. Door Set ABS & Lexan for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
KBD48611 - Mov. Hood Set ABS for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
KBD48612 - Windshield Lexan for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
KBD48613 - Truck Bed Lock Catch Metal for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
KBD48614 - Truck Bed Link Chain Metal for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
KBD48615 - Cockpit Set Left ABS for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
KBD48616 - Cockpit Set Right ABS for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
KBD48618 - Electric Steering Wheel for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
KBD48619 - Electric Windscreen Wiper for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
KBD48620 - Safety Belts for Toyota Land Cruiser 70
