|  In progress... Baby blue FJ40 Mudder/Crawler
Well everything is pretty much mocked up and slapped together. I snapped a quick pic. Teardown and rebuild will be documented here as everything gets painted and tweaked. Final speed im hoping for is around 14-16mph (I hope), but still lots of torque, a two speed may be needed but im not sure on that yet.  |

Some not so teaser pics  The chassis and motor mount is complete, time to tear it down and paint it all black. Then im thinking full fenderwells and some major protection against water and mud.

Also has anybody seen that bumper by RPM? I saw that thing and knew it would look cool on this truck, I didnt even know they made such a scale looking bumper, minus the big *** "RPM" but still I think it looks sweet.
