| RC4WD Gelande with Cruiser body, rust and weathering.
I've been experimenting with rust and weathering on my Cruiser. I'm pleased with the way it turned out, here are some pictures and video. With driver, Snake Plissken Video Trailer https://youtu.be/5cShcMHodbs Video Extended Version https://youtu.be/tzDJmxvhdaY Cheers, Charlie |

Super nice! IMHO to be perfect you will need: 1) A full lights kit 2) The driver 3) The rear mirror 4) A spare wheel 5) A winch 6) An exhaust pipe... |

2) Driver, done! 3) Rear Mirror, need to find a suitable one. 4) Spare wheel would be cool on the back! 5) I have a winch, will fit it soon. 6) Exhaust pipe, any ideas, would I have to make it or are they available? Other mods I have in line are leaf springs and hub caps and some more interior work including rubber matting. Cheers. Last edited by Retrocosm; 04-30-2015 at 10:52 AM. | |

Two questions: 1. Where did you get the TOYOTA/LandCruiser logos? I've been looking everywhere for those. 2. How did you strip the chrome from the blinkers? I tried ammonia, bleach and drano. |

You can find the emblems on Ebay if you search "rc4wd cruiser". They may come from Germany. Some of the others seem to sell out pretty quickly. Super Clean degreaser will remove chrome without damaging the plastic if you soak the parts. |

I got the badge kit from a seller on ebay called groundbutton. He sells out pretty quick it seems so I messaged him to let me know when he was re-listing. I tried to strip the chrome with bleach but it didn't touch it. In the ended I sanded them and applied matt black paint. Cheers. | |
