BHR custom FJ40 w/ Hi-9's build-up...

[wizziecutter]

I am meeting Ben at EJS and getting it there. Pictures are fun, but the real thing is always better..... (in most things anyway.....)

 

[waynehartwig]

I have not seen it either, but I think that it does look good. Did it win anything at the DATC show?

That sucks that it's your rig and you have'nt seen it yet. I bet your goign insane! When do you finally get to see it?

 

[Tacoma]

Did it win anything at the DATC show?

yeah, "Most Magnificent FJ40 Thing" hehe

I don't know the name of the actual class.

 

[Bucking Bronco]

I think it won Instructors Choice, but I am not 100% on that

 

[rholbrook]

The detail is absolutely incredible. I am still thinking about that FJ.

 

[NOTATOY]

Its a shame though that they covered up all the maticulous fab work with paint. I think they sould have cleared the whole thing

 

[OREGON85]

Does it have a top?

 

[wizziecutter]

Yes it has a top and half doors and full doors. They just got put back together at JKC's. Hopefully we will have a picture soon with all that.

 

[Rusted]

The photos I took of the top were before any real work was done on it. If I get a chance in the morning I will take a few photos for you. :greg:

Well it was not running quite right and come to find out, the stock computer that I got with the engine and had reflashed by Centech wouldn't work because it was from a drive by wire vehicle and we changed it to a cable pull throttle. The Centech guys told me it would work. But alas it did not. Bummer. Ben ordered a Cable pull computer and it is running really well (they tell me). So it should be going down next week to EJS for a little exploring and testing out. Nothing major. I want to break it in a bit before anything crazy. Just got a CO2 tank and chrome fire extinguisher. Now I just need to figure out where to put a tool box/bag. I put up a few pics from the DATC show. I can't wait to see it in person. Should be fun to drive too. Cierra from JKC said she has some photos of the finished top. Hope to see those soon too......

 

[wizziecutter]

Here are a few photos of the top and full doors JKC sent to me. We filled the tailgate area, this is a '75 and should have ambulance doors, so we ended up changing them for a lift gate. Looks like the change went well.

 

[Rusted]

Those doors and top look great. It is cool to see all the parts come back together.

Von, you need to keep your eyes open when someone takes your picture.

Von, you need to keep your eyes open when someone takes your picture.

When its this close to EJS, you learn to nap whenever you can...

 

[anderson750]

I guess that is why you did not come and have fun with us putting on a race.:greg: (sorry for hijacking the thread)

I'm afraid so...

 

[Taco4life]

How do I go about getting one of those mail ordered? Its so pretty I wouldn't mind marrying it... Nice build!

 

[Brittany@JKC]

Here are some photo's of the Land Cruiser with the doors on! Hope you enjoy!

 

[Seth]

That is way too pretty to take off-road. That's why I keep mine unpainted. At least that what I have to keep telling myself.

 

[rockreligious]

ok, we know its built, and good looking, but we have all the pix of it in show quality stature..plenty of proof of its perfection, now get wheeling it so we can start getting the carnage reports in this thread.

I know im cruel, but its both cruel to rockcrawl this rig, and it would be cruel to not rockcrawl this rig.
