Good Choice in my eye's.

What about the Fenders and Running Boards?
Leave them Red?
Also Front/Rear Bumpers? Satin Black like the Rear Roll Hoop?

I would leave the fenders and running boards red, and I would paint the bumpers the same as the rear hoop.

Update

Front Bumper is on and Painted still need to paint the grill inset and add the mesh and logo.
Buckets are Hilux as are the lenses


Simple Rear Bumper and Rear Hoop Painted.


All the Windows are in proper pain but they look just fine.
I skinned the inside to make it look like they run in the channels.
I have got to add the door cards yet and also the other interior bits.






Getting there slowly, I've also ordered some new wheels for it more in keeping with the rest of the truck.

Here is a great site for reference on popular bodies. ** Aluminum Replacement Bodies & Accessories for Land Cruisers, Jeeps and Samurai's - Aqualu Industries is full service welding and fabricating facility specializing in Land Cruiser, Jeeps and Samurai's thought I would share with everyone. Handy when scratch building.

I have to disagree with G-Force.....
The whole rig looks like a clean stock FJ - keep with it. Lights should be in the rear bumper.

Phenomenal work sir! Nice touch on the double sided windows to create the channels. I'll be using that idea down the road.
