I started a FJ40 C2 build two weeks ago but after thinking about it, I just thought there is just too making FJs out there. I wanted to something a bit different, so here we go...a D90 truggy.

This will be based off of Chris Abel's D90 rig but will have the same tube work as my F-350.

I'll be watching. We need more Euro rigs around here.

A couple shots before I started to hack it up.

Thanks and yes more Euro. BTW, I am 100% digging your D90 too.

If it's even half as cool as the inspiration, it's going to be bad ass!

Thanks. It's a lot milder than this

. You're making me want to do something like this with the D90 hardbody I have.

I love the narrow front end!

Bamfapotamus · 01-31-2011, 08:02 AM

Difuser · 01-31-2011, 11:23 AM

you done yet? you're off work for 2 weeks....

Team Tactical Bacon · 01-31-2011, 11:52 AM

Guess you didn't need 2 D90s huh??

That will look awesome with a cage similar to the super duty.

Done yet?

This is going to be very cool Justin! Isn't it fun cutting those bodies up? Can't wait to see more progress on it.

Wish I had a couple of weeks off.....

pantablo · 01-31-2011, 10:30 PM

That's a nice project! Looks great so far.

minisaba · 02-01-2011, 12:20 AM

At first I was like "what the hell did you do to this body". But I can say that the last picture looks bad-ass.

papabash · 02-01-2011, 06:17 AM

Waaaaaaaaaaay cool so far!

hotwheels000 · 02-01-2011, 08:46 AM

Are you working on this or just cuddling it and tucking it into bed everynight ??

Bring it to the skook so we can fondle it in person

Tommy R · 02-01-2011, 08:51 AM

Looks nice, Justin! Done yet??

STANG KILLA SS · 02-01-2011, 12:16 PM
