Scale Nats were held over this past weekend...had to take a little break from the action, and do a quick trail run on the TTC course.

That thing sure has aged since the last video, colorado weather must be pretty harsh to look that old after a month. :)

Thanks for sharing!
 
Gosh this thing rocks so hard!!! It's cool that you aren't afraid to drive it. How are you still using the stock driveshafts again...? lol. I just "finished" mine, and I can't even drive it across the living room without freaking out. Guess that wears off once ya get some of that Colorado weather on it!

I think there's something else in Colorado that makes people not care as much about what happens...

Oh heavens no...it got some axial WB shafts a little after it was built the first time. It's a very fun truck to drive, after driving it a bit you'll figure out what it likes and doesn't . Thanks for the compliments sir!

Become one with the scale truck....lol
 
Let's get caught up to where the FJ is today...Picked up another Cruiser kit for a Bj45 Build. I learned a lot from the previous tealish body and how to get better weathering. I opted to make an exact clone of my 74' FJ40. So here we go.....

Last picture of it with the new kit and boss's Fj in for maintenance.



Here we go...



Got rid of the electronics box cut out and sides...



Greener?



Got rid of the windshield tabs, and made some rust holes and imperfections before I shot color.



Sitting on the previous chassis...this will be it's permanent home.



Metal dust rust...



Bit the bullet an bought the CCHand rear bumper for the correct year.



Now to add the details...
