Default Rebirth of my Fj40

Thought I would try and build a ladder framed TLT rig with hopefully a scale look to it.

Looks like you need a bucket of Brake fluid.

I hope to get it done by the middle of next month. Need to find a friend with a band saw to rip some square tube down to make the frame rails.

Default Not sure about the tire size

This was my first attempt at cutting up a set of tires


Wanted to use 1.9 wheels for a more scale look but the tires may be a bit too small.

I have ordered a set or high lift tires hopefully they give me the look I have in mind.
