you mean that's better than a cut off wheel

Yeah, I had lost a few screws out of the bottom of the C hubs and bottom of the knuckles, so I think I over compensated on the loctite

I hear a dab of CA glue on the end of the screws is the way to go on these screws, but I would think just a small dab of blue loctite should due too. I happened to coat the entire screw(s) which resulted in the cutting. I will break out the ol'BBQ lighter to take apart the other knuckle when I get my VP knuckles.

I got a front bumper, FINALLY!

I've got to powder coat it black yet. I got red shackles ordered for it and I got to wire the lights up too. Oh I can envision a wench as well, but it's looking good already.

Do you know how many RC10's you could have had at this point?

I seem to put a lot of money into my RC10s though....but yes, I see at least one or two more RC10s that could have been built. I have a feeling that there will be a RC10 DS build this winter. I'll probably wait until next month or the following month to look for a project car though.

I've put a fair amount of money into my Tacoma lately. I've got a new All-Pro Expedition rear suspension with Walker Evans shocks with reservoirs and Timbern bumpstops. A honda civic backed into me a couple weeks ago damaging my rear bumper, so I'm getting a CBI Offroad Bushwacker bumper with a full size swing away tire carrier/fuel can carrier/Hi-Lift jack mount setup with a cash pay out from the insurance company . I'm also looking at installing Walker Evans coil overs shortly too.

Hi there, I'm new to this forum, and believe it or not, the pic of the Land Cruiser emblems did the trick for me. I know it's been a long time since this post, but can anyone pretty please tell me where to get these Land Cruiser emblems. I would be forever grateful.
Regards

Here is the Land Cruiser emblem set


Yeah, that's the start of a Satoshi grill. The plan is to get a black aluminum mesh back and paint that Toyota emblem white


The sponsor decals will be applied to an Ivan Steward paint job similar to this one. Panels are going to be added to the sides to give it the SUV look though



Also some ARB diff covers for some extra cool factor...don't worry I got one for each axle


I'm going to install these G-transitions with droop as the setup


Gonna get started on the build later tonight:D

So far just got the tear down began

Hey Troopy, glad I could get you to post

RC4WD used to produce them, but I don't see them anymore. They have Hilux ones though

Here is a shot of both my 1:1 trail/work truck with the Wraith Land Cruiser... in case you are a Toyota guy that is.
