Jakes1994 FZJ80 (BIG ORANGE)

Looks good!
Was wondering how it was going to turn out with you leaving the gas cap and door handles orange, but I dig it
 
well, it wasnt like I havent been looking, but you just pushed me over the edge.

Got a handshake deal till the money moves to where i can get it and bring the dude cash... a 97 'collectors edition', whatever that means. all I know is its got all the lockers, no rust, no dents, and it runs great.

Nice. That'll be a great platform to start with. Those are also my second favorite color!
 
While I thought it looked awesome before (I've been enjoying this build since you first posted it), and maybe from a pure aesthetics point I liked the first treatment with the Rhino-Liner, I still think the new job looks GREAT. I personally would have done the handles/gas flap, but that's down to personal pref. and in no way do I think it looks "bad" with them still orange. That truck is one FINE example of an 80-series. New rims look great too (although I also really liked those gunmetal, kinda "JDM" looking rims you had on at first). Throw a Diesel in it and I'm not sure if I could stop myself from driving over to "borrow" the sucker :peepwall: hahahaha.

HAHAHAHA beauty truck mate, I really love they choices you've made on her too, like the paint/Rhino-Lining, rims and the bumpers etc. All of it just accentuates the truck's looks/shape and makes it look tough/bad-***, w/o looking too overboard/cluttered (like some trucks with the "one of everything in the catalog" look). I'm shooting for a similar "Burly and Eye-catching but still classy and purposeful" look on my new 95 Hilux Surf build and you've given me some great ideas/motivation. Awesome truck mate. Love seeing all the pics of her in the dirt too, as always, thanks for sharing...

Cheers

Dave
