Thanks

Other than eBAy.....

n00bs need to check into the Vendors section more often. It's been known for a while that I would be stocking these. I have ordered more from my supplier and expect them in about 7-10 working days.

Looks good. I saw the 1:1 of that thing outside of my job today. Looks like a potato with an awesome front end.

Look 2 post above yours and then you should figure out where you can get this awesome looking scale body which actually has a metal roof rack.

I hate the new FJs and pretty much all the retro styling in recent vehicles. Though on your chassis it was a 1000% improvement. In the end, if you like it, that's the point. I just think they could have made the 1:1 FJ flatter paneled and with solid axles. Just dreaming though.

Since Soccer Moms and Yuppies outnumber hardcore FJ fans and Toyota is in the business of making money hand over fist, this is what you get

I hate 'em just because of the people I see driving 'em with those STUPID VANITY PLATES!

Although, that body would look dope with some Geo's on it...

It has an 11-inch wheelbase. I need to find smaller tires to make it look a little more stock and lower the CG .Any suggestions on wheels to use.

Dez, I was thinking the same thing. HPI Geolanders would be the shiznit on that truck.

I think some Geolanders and some RPM Revolver wheels would look awsome on your truck. I just got a set of Revolvers and they look very similar to the rims I have on my Bruiser and my Mountaineer.

there may be a clasic cruiser body on the new cruiser frame in the future. tlc the california company that makes the "icon". which is a modern version of the fj40 is working with toyota to put one of theri icon bodies on the new fj cruiser frames. hopefully if this takes off they may be a little mor affordable than the $80k icon

looks awesome. you should make those lights functional. I have kind of mixed feelings on those things. They remind me of an element, but with some style and uniqueness.
