btw with the body proportions vs tire proportions, what size tires would those calculate out to in 1:1? 33's?

Vid looks good. Towards the end seeing it scramble for traction reminds me of most IFS Toyota's with factory HT/AT off roading.

thats awesome,, now if I could find a 4th gen 4runner body for my wraith, Id buy it

New tires on big FJ means new tires on little FJ. What a difference! 1.55 Rock Crushers stretched over the 1.9 wheels. They scale out bigger than the 33's I have, but it's the best I could do. Plus I already had them on me.

[Oz Bruiser]

Nice, how did you find stretching them ? In the first pic it may just be the angle, but the front tyre looks very close to the front bumper. Do the tyres hit the body or guards when articulating.?
I asume you do somewhere, have you got any details/link to the old cruiser in your,pic together?

Finally wheres the comparrison pic of the 1:1 with new boots. What tyres you get for ut, sorry lots of question lol. Keep the updates coming.

Stretching 1.55s over 1.9 wheels is just as easy as putting 1.9s on 1.9s. The tire rubs the front bumper, but it doesn't bind. Not a big concern at the moment. I'm not trimming the front bumper any more if I don't have to. It already looks like shit.

Love the build man, and both of your FJs!

[SFC K]

I will have to try that trick with the 1.5's on 1.9 rims for my LR3. Those to FJ's look amazing too!

[pardonmyn00b]

I had the FJ out in my rock garden. I added a lot of new features to it this year. I also added a tailpipe and a real spare tire to the FJ.

Noobz always builds the absolute cleanest scale work!! I remember his drop bed stretched 1.55" Tundra that thing sure was a beauty. That exhaust pipe on the Tundra totally set it off.

They sure do look good together. Better get some plates on that pig before the pigs pull you over.

Nice vid n00b, that place looks really fun, great sign at the start of the vid too lol.

Any chance you could take a couple pics of the FJ sitting in the garage? Should look pretty sweet in there.

Thank you. I'll get some shots in the garage next time around. It might look a bit out of scale since the garage is 1/9 and this is 1/10.


All-Pro sliders


Painted with bed liner like the big ones. It does a good job of covering up my lousy brazing job too.

[eddievedder]

FJ looks mint. All Pro sliders are spot on. Do you feel like making some ca$h to build some Budbuilt sliders, a toyoutfitters bumper, and a gobi ladder for my FJ?

Thanks bud. And that sounds good. We can discuss it over continental breakfast next weekend.

[eddievedder]

Totally!! Actually that hotel has a really good continental breakfast. Best in the northeast lol. I sent you an email but I will be a trail leader on Friday so we have to make sure you get in my group.

Ok enough of that.

Nice toy FJ you have.

[benzoel]

Nice FJ noob I got bored one day and stretched a 1.55 crusher over a 2.2 it looks pretty cool like 22s on the G ride

[pardonmyn00b]

We had some spare time before runs and at lunch to play with our toys trucks. They were so cute!
