Goodwill FJ

[MonsterAnt]

Sorry guy's I didnt get to take any pics of this build, my camara was broke. Me and my wife stoped in the goodwill off university and as soon as i walked in the toys i saw it setting there. It was $5 i just could not leave the poor FJ setting there so I had to buy it. Here is what i got so far.

I still have to mount all the electronics in it and i got to frame mount the the servo, and mount my winch on it and a lot more thing to go on it..

Nice looking truck, I like the bumpers alot and the black/white colors look great.

I just might have to start checking good will for scaler bodies myself "thumbsup"

Sorry guy's, my internet has been down for a couple days. I took pictures of all that i have got done. Monday at work I had nothing at all to do so i had a bright idea to make a pull a long crawler trailer. I think it turned out reather quit well. The axal is made out of 3/8 stainless stell, the axal mounts are made out of aluminum and the trailer toung. I made the the bottom, sides and front out of 1/4 delrin, and a machined the finder flares on a lathe. I cut out some thin lexan and painted it to mach.

Here is new frount upper axal mount

Here is a picture of a peace of delrin i machined to mount my steering servo on and to mount my winch servo.

i also added a fake looking winch out front

Today I was at my local hobby shop and i saw a proline light bar, I held it up to my truck and i new i had to get it. It looks killer up top.

Here is some pictures a took out on my deck today.

Well What You Guy's Think?"thumbsup"
