Looks like you're off to a good start

I'm in the midst of a similar JK project.

fenders are installed using 2mm screws.
still waiting for my transfer case so i can start making the floor bed. still undecided whether to use styrene or metal sheet.





while waiting for the parts i saw my old pair of glasses..... and this is what i came up. door hinge with spring



thanks for looking!

thanks......

front bumpers done. since this is a short wheelbase truck, decided to make a full scale stinger to avoid front roll over. the winch is a little too big for me so ended up hiding half of it.







new wheels and tires installed! loves this combo! thanks pana for the advice!









the rear bumpers will exactly be like this......



a lot of hammering and cutting lol










still have to make a scale gas tank under there!

all metals panels will be painted black. the floor and inner fenders will be wrinkled black. still undecided about the body paint. pick up this paints at pep boys.....

I sold this project to the right guy! You built the best FJ Cruiser by far and now you have one of the best TJ builds underway!! Nice work.

ps. I get dibs on buying it back IF you EVER sell it!
