Well guys, heres another FJ CRUISER build but with a little differnt style... a TRUCK!
I got this idea from the recent 4Wheel mag and it had a picture of a new Toyota FJ Concept at SEMA, so I had to do it.
I wont be exactly to specs only because I have my own ideas for the back window/bed area.

More of this build coming soon!

Tell me what you guys think!
Any idea's?

John

That should be interesting. Cool idea!

i must say a very clean cut you did there. and how exaclty did you do it? not a big fan, if at all of the fj, but ill keep up with this to see where youll take this.

The cut was made by my HANDY DANDY DREMEL (Flex Shaft)
A good cut-off disk and LOTS of years of model building

looks like a real good build. Are you goin to make a bed on it like a avalance? That would be pretty sweet.

Not sure, If I do that then I would have to cut out bottom for shocks, Im thinking of a roll cage thoughout with a spare tire in the rear at an angle?

I like how it turns out. *thumbs up*

Hansolo · 02-26-2007, 08:33 PM

Looks good. Keep those pics coming! Where did you get those small bungie cords from?? They look sweet!

STANG KILLA SS · 02-26-2007, 08:53 PM

NEXT UP: FJ truggy!

Mad Scientist · 02-26-2007, 09:14 PM

Looks like a good start. I dig the truck look.

Wrecker · 02-27-2007, 11:33 AM

Looks awesome. I like the different approach to the Crusier, these things are popping up like cray. It's cool to see one that's a little diferent. btw, those bungee cords are sweet, definetly get on that endors star and start selling those on here.

I think that would be cool. Would you make a tono (sp) cover then to cover up the whole then. I think that would be cool to.

Yeah, right now Im just staring at it trying to figured out exacly what I want to do, but your right a tono cover would look sweet

Thanks for that advise

This is what I'm aiming for, but the back window is the problem

slugzracing · 02-27-2007, 02:47 PM

As much as I hate the FJ that looks cool

twisted84toyota · 02-28-2007, 12:59 AM

you can't use what you already chopped off to fill in the back of the cab??
the floor will be easyiest I'd think,the idea of the rear cage and angled spare would be pretty cool.....................

looneybin · 02-28-2007, 08:33 AM

ya know i hate these things in real life but i can't get enough of these fj builds. very interesting approach. looks killer.

I tried using the back but it dosent fit right and make it fit right I would have to cut the window and cutting plastic window material isnt always easy to put back, so any way. I think I may go with a floor bed and a custom rear cab?
But then again I may go with the rear cage

looneybin · 03-01-2007, 06:01 PM
