SO I did that Toyota Land cruiser swap meet and had to get a body to feel the part. (Since I drive a Jeep CJ) Silly Yota guys. Anyway I think its came out really cool looking so here it is.

Man thats a fugly color.

The Jeep body you had looked great, but my family had a tan FJ-40 when I was a kid. I have loved them ever since. You've capured that beautiful tan w/white top to a T, brings a tear to my eye.

Keep up the good work!!!

i was trying to get close to the factory tan. Its just Krylon CAMO khaki ultra flat on the inside. i like it. I only wish i would had thought to paint the headlight bezel white too. oh well.

Red, you missed out there was a 10 year old about your size. Seriously the cousre was small but lots of fun. After I drove home the scenic route and some cool places to crawl in gilroy.

I really like the color personally. Not too flashy, something I might see rolling down the road in real life.

Well I thought about it but I narrowed the chrome wheels on the outer bead as well and if I did that the Rock Rings would not cover up all the cut surface. So you'd see the white plastic in the center. I like how the wheels are narrowed but It look better if I did it like the black & green ones.

looks cool. not to bling but just right.

Madkoifish · 06-06-2005, 05:38 PM

I really miss the amount of hobby shops that San jose had. Sheldons, Castle etc etc and they had messes of stuff. Not just a limited selection of whats popular.
