Default James' 79 Series Landcruiser

Was asked to build a 79 Cruiser by a customer, one that looked like it could still be driven on the street, but still look and perform like a real nice trail rig. And yes our laws for legalities for modified 4WD's do suck in Australia.
Finally finished, and it's back with the owner.
It's sitting on an SCX10.2, I had to heavily modify an RC4WD D90 front bar to suit the Cruiser front.
Few pics of the Cruiser.

I used some CF plates I had a mate make a batch for me for all my SCX10 builds.

That's very nice. Is that the RC4WD diamond plate on the bed?

It is mate.
I'm not usually a diamond/chequerplate fan but this stuff looks great.

A pic of some tabs I had cut out, along with 4 other styles. Certainly helps save time and look neat and tidy.
These mounts are going to hold the obligatory LED bar.
