FJ40 Trailfinder
Well I've always been a fan of Unglewd ( Kevin) work. So the moment i saw that he was building another FJ I knew I had to have it.
Unglewd was the builder behind the Wack Job FJ and i loved the look of that rig    When he sold it I missed it by a day and I have been kicking myself ever since. Well this is the Wack Job II           - RC4wd Trailfinder Kit (without axles) - RC4wd Soft leafs & stock Tamiya helpers - RC4wd Aluminum Knuckles - Upgraded RC4wd coil over shocks - New Tamiya Hilift Axles with full Tamiya bearing set (locked using the pins) - RC4wd Straight Axle kit - RC4wd HD R2 Tranny -35T Integy - 2.2 Reduced FlatIrons including Spare - 5pcs Create a Crawler Beadlocks - 3 Racing Winch with upgraded 6' of cable and controler (I'll leave the Epoxy off of the controler) -Full custom Heyok light kit -Pico switch to turn the lights on and off - Hitec Metal 645 servo[/COLOR] The body Stuff - New Proline Bushwacker body & Tamiya FJ body combined (all of the grill, light pots & accessories from the Tamiya Kit - All parma Fascolor Paint, 8 coats in total...8hrs in total - All brazed tube work 3/16 tube & 1/8" rod, very clean many hours of filing. This includes bolt on roof rack & sliders/exocage & front bumper. All bolt on and unbolt for future clean up and restoration/repaint - Interior panel/dash & scale accessories Last edited by Jester666; 03-25-2009 at 03:25 PM. |
