Thanks!

Great photos, the Fonz rules!

Thank you.

Great details N00b, just being curious, did you paint those taillights dark or light red?

Thanks. I painted the taillights with Tamiya clear red. Two coats.

The mud flaps rule. Can't wait to see them jiggle, when ya make a vid...

I'm surrounded by inner tubes at work, now I know something to do with them.

I can't wait to wrap them around the tire and rip them off. I wonder if they'll actually protect against mud? I guess there's only one way to find out...




Real pictures.

Yeay! Looks great all done.
That first set of pics were especially awesome.
It would be interesting if you built trucks in the quality you do, but were only able to produce photos like those.
Looks like they were taken on one of these.

I prefer the crappy photos. That way, the bar is set low enough.

Another superb set of results Richard.
Your extra personal details make it so much fun to watch and every build you teach me something new... thanks!

Woo I got a new background! I've never seen one of these in person with the top off and I must say it looks awesome!

Thanks man. It would be hard telling if I could build a good truck if all of my pictures did turn out like that. Interesting camera, never seen one like that before.

SORRY FOR THE IPHONE PIX MY CAMERA WAS TOOK BY MY DOG AND EATED THANKS.

Aim low. Aim so low no one will even care if you succeed. Dinner's in the oven. If you want some butter it's under my face.

Thanks Kev! This build was very near and dear to my heart.

Yeah they are pretty awesome machines. Much better than all of the other removable top SUVs of the era.



I built some items to bounce around in the truck. Snow brush, cardboard for the oil leak and a parking brake.




Then I hit the trails. All the recent rain made some awesome washouts. The truck is sort of capable and slow. My favorite combination. I am very happy with this toy truck and I foresee many hours of fun both at home and abroad.

Stunning scale awesomeness and big smile on the builder. Congrats on achieving 2 of life's most important things. Glad to see it getting out on the trails!
