Here's the FJ I got a month ago and have been playing with a few ideas on it and here's what I got so far

As I received it

Here's the lighting thanks to Bill's Custom RC Lighting

New Honcho wheels and tires

Not much going on today so I worked on the FJ for a little while. Changed over to a sprung set up from the droop and adjusted the shock mounting position. I had gotten another set of Honcho stock wheels and Flat Irons and wasnt really liking the satin chrome look with gray rings so I did a little detailing on them. The wheels are painted satin black, the rings I stripped the anodizeing and then polished them with the dremel. I almost hate that they'll be getting scratched up soon.

Electronics:
Hitec 7955tg steering servo
Hitec 645mg servo winch
Tekin FXR esc
Castle BEC
Integy 45t
2200mah 3s lipo
Bill's RC lighting
DX3r radio w/SR3100 receiver

Making a spool for the winch now and have to find some cable and a hook then get it all mounted hopefully today. Add a few accessories and I'll have it ready for my first scale comp on the 25th.

I have a couple fj bodies and I was wondering what kind of chassis you are running and did you cut it shorter. I think my fj bodies have a 10.5 or 11.5 wheelbase.

Custom chassis with adjustable shock mounts

Thanks Rooster for the CAC wheels. I mounted them in Roklox and here's the end results
