40 build, nakman style

[Corbet]

Great work so far. I need to start back into mine soon.

 

[Ali FJ80]

Absolutely amazing looking. Very nice work!

 

[Rezarf]

I just poked back in to oogle over the pics again. Nice work Tim!

 

[nakman]

Got the interior buttoned up this weekend... finished installing the SOR rollbar covers, finished replacing the jump seat foam & covers. Installed my front head rests, did the rear emblems. Then worked on the soft top.

 

[nakman]

Lame- didn't realize those would be so dark. I can do better pics in the daylight...

 

[nakman]

one more for Treeroot.

Starbucks I still can't figure out how they sell coffee at $5 a cup.

The truck looks amazing! Keep the pics coming. The square soft tops are exactly what the Land Cruisers needed.

 

[Romer]

awesome Tim. Nice work. I agree with Mike, the OEM style tops are much better for the 40 than the Bestops

 

[LXBRADY]

Looks great, Tim.

 

[PabloCruise]

awesome Tim. Nice work. I agree with Mike, the OEM style tops are much better for the 40 than the Bestops

I thought you were going to agree with Mike, "how can Starbucks charge a 5-spot for a cup of joe?"

It looks so awesome Tim! What an evolution

They put coke in it


Awsome build Tim! When do we get to see her in person?

 

[nakman]

Not sure if I want/need a winch, other than I don't want to run the one that came with the thing. So I used the space to mount my shovel. Too much?

 

[nakman]

Then last night I got some new turn signals from Cruiser Outfitters, better quality. This evening I put the hard doors back on.

 

[LARGEONE]

Tim. Your 40 looks so awesome man!

 

[MDH33]

Sweeeeeet!

I like his front bumper. Nice place for the shovel

 

[Rezarf]

I love my HFS bumper it's bomber with great clearance.

Has the PO seen your progress Tim? It's just awesome!

And I like the color matched shovel!

Looking great, Tim! I had the HFS bumper on my old 40, and it was perfect. The winch decision is dependent on whether you'll ever be wheeling harder trails in your 40. Seems like you'd probably take the 100 on the tougher trails, and you already have a winch on that one, right?

Correct. It's tough to have two wheeling trucks- you either have to transfer junk from one to the other, or buy it twice.. mainly recovery equipment, airing up apparatuses, and tools. This stuff is already in the 100 (along with locking axles and body protection) so makes sense to just wheel the 100 and baby the 40.

But it would be a shame to not wheel this thing, at least a little, and what fun is it to only make sensible decisions. I want to spend a little more wrench time with it before hitting the dirt though.
