Toyota FJ40 Rock Crawler III Started a "new" (I'm stuck on FJ40's) project to have something to do over the winter. This is where I'm at now: Side view http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...ideos/toy2.jpg This is about max flex. The shocks are RC4WD 100mm scale shocks. I might switch over to the 110mm ones to get a bit more flex. http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...ideos/toy3.jpg http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...ideos/toy4.jpg The front. I left a little bit of the fender. I think it looks a little better than completely cut away. http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...ideos/toy5.jpg I'll try to fit a proper size battery under the seats. I'm opting for a 2200mAh 3S or 2x 800mAh 3S. I think the height of the seats is still ok like this. What do you think? http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...ideos/toy1.jpg |
Great start Tomy,,,, I'm sure it's gonna be a sick build. "thumbsup" |
nice! |
nice tube so far ........ "thumbsup" inspiration? http://www.proffittscruisers.com/ima...kle/cream1.jpg |

An alternative to the RokLox's: http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...ideos/toy7.jpg I think the Two Face tire looks nicer. I like the fat look. If only RC4WD made a tire with these dimensions but with a more aggressive thread pattern. A comparison between the two: http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...ideos/toy4.jpg http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...ideos/toy6.jpg |
Off to a great start. Yeah, I gotta soft spot for the ol FJ40's too, mine will be around for a while yet. |

x3! Only reason I would build something else would be to get a longer wheelbase. Watching this one for sure! Nice work on the cage! CH |
I like the look of the Two Face's on it. The Rok Lox will probably work a bit better but you see them on almost every rig on here. |
Started a bit on the cab interior. I needed a break from the tube work. Here's the dash taking form. http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...deos/toyt4.jpg The seats got an own tube frame. http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...deos/toyt3.jpg The battery is located under the seats and the tube frame is held in place with small magnets, which makes it easy to remove when it's time to change battery. The battery box will get its own cover, also held in place by magnets. http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...deos/toyt2.jpg http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...deos/toyt1.jpg |
I really like the way this FJ is shaping up. I like the seat tubing also. |

Got the cage done today. :) I just cut out the rest of the panels and did a quick test fit. Everything seems ok. The cage will be off for powder coating next week. A few pics: http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...eos/toy5-1.jpg http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...eos/toy3-1.jpg http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...eos/toy4-1.jpg http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...eos/toy2-1.jpg http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/q...eos/toy1-1.jpg |
