Here in Australia, one of them would have been Orange for the indicator.

So maybe you have an Aussie import which is quite common I understand.

It's cool I'm not too worried about it. I did support his hubcap idea though. Just Ordered a set for this truck. The probably don't fit my version of Gmade wheels though. Might have to do some wheel swapping.

Very sharp looking FJ. That color really suits it well. Makes you take a second glance to see that it's a scale rc!

Thanks..I'm liking the color more and more. Glad it made you do a double take...that's what I'm shooting for.

Now for small details...exhaust, functional lights, driver, inner fenders. You guys know the pain in the butt stuff...but still fun.

Off to a great start. I have to resist the temptation to order mine until I've finished off my 3 builds that are still in-progress. I HATE waiting...but for now I have to live vicariously through yours and others.

Very nice!

I've seen quite a few of these done so far, and I like the color you've chosen for yours. Love the "show room new" look you've created, also. Natural weathering will occur on the trail.

Where do you get the hub caps for these? Does it come with the locking hubs and winch or did you add those for scale details?

If I ever get one of these, it's going to be converted to leaf springs.

Just plain awesome!

Me and waiting don't get along very well. Plus, I had a feeling they would sell out pretty quick. There's enough love to go around until you get your FJ. Thanks again bud!

Thanks a bunch sir...I just wanted something a little different and flashy. Yes, natural rock rash and debris will make it's way on for sure. Granted it won't get beat on but she'll get a work out.

Pardonmynoob makes/sells the hubcaps...can't wait to get my set.

Yes...this rig won't be on linked suspension forever.

Thanks for the compliments...

Cool, looks like your driver is just the right size. The paint looks so vibrant against the scenery. Beautiful!

Looks amazing! I'm loving these builds for sure. You guys are going to have to stop flaunting your epic FJ's because it's making me want to get one!

On a side note: On your Gmade wheels, did you use the 12mm hex included with the Yota axles? If so, was there enough of the stub shaft sticking out to keep a lock nut secured while driving?

Yes, they had enough stub for the nylon to grab on good. Thanks man...just get one you'll be happy with it.

Yay, the first Cruiser video. Looks great in the snow and rocks. Nice area to play too.
