Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I like it, very well done!

is the divider going to be removed from the 3rd window back???

Is it my wonky eyes or is that back door 'centre line' sloping downward slightly at the rear...?

Time for a build up thread

I want one Mate that is cool

Will the door handles be level?

To all those guys offering input thanks for the comments.

To the clowns asking stupid questions about door handles and the likes you do realise that the door is held in place with packing tape and blue tack ?? I don't have enough skill to make the alignment correct is mock up stage, luckily I think I can fumble my way though the welding stuff.

Andrew, yes it is from you old 40 see I said I would use the body

There is a build thread over on 4wd Monthly - http://www.4wdmonthly.com.au/forum/show ... hp?t=74644

I'm glad you can weld because you suck at answering questions politely...

How should I know what is holding the door on? You are mocking it up fella, not me.

Maybe don't ask for input if you can't handle a simple question next time.

I think it would look better with no side rear glass at all

My god, that is a low bloody question to ask lump-a.

That looks way cool like that. Kind of like the old baker's vans or no window panel vans. Window would be cool as long as it's a one piece and no divider like the original pics.

A bit more space at the front of the rear wheel arch?



Incidentally I am pretty sure I've seen cars where part of the rear flare is attached to the door instead of the body, gives a better opening that way.

FTW!!!!

I reckon this is about the betterest evolution so far.

P.S. the zombie dog is freakin me out dude!!!!

fark yeah!! Chimpboy with the win.

That looks cool

another vote for the chimps design!

Looks cool, def needs a solid peice glass on the rear.

I like the no rear glass - looks a bit FJ cruiser (the Yankee prado based one). Chimps door is cool too - having the flare on the door might help to hide any cutting/welding/bogging sins

'Tis not a sin if the bastard holds together my son

looks good mate,i dont mind the smaller rear door,if u made it bigger u might as well just get a troopy,should look great with what your plans are

I think it would be a better result to move the rear axle backwards a couple of inches rather than encroaching on the cabin space by making the wheel tub larger towards the front of the vehicle

Lol looks amazingly similar to a Jk wrangler unlimited.

with less chance of spontaneous combustion.

Tidy. Good length. Nothing wrong with a thin rear door. Looks just like my Crewman ;-)

Hey same as my hand brake!

VERY cool!!

well done man, i cant wait to see the finished product!

I wouldnt bother with another door, ALL that extra work, and how many times will you ever use it. If anything just fill that section in. Lookup BJ46 it was a genuine MWB example produced by Toyota


I'll try find a pic.

the good ol 55 must have scared them of the 4 door 4 a while hey!

FJ55 models discontinued circa 1979, next 4 door landcruiser was the 60 series circa 1980.

Yeah, no cease of production in the wagons

There was also a FJ45LV wagon (not many in aus though, but definitely better looking than a 55)

Nah forget the rear door. Do it like the old TJ Unlimited's which were released in the US but sadly not in australia:





bit of a lift and bigger tyres and it's the perfect wheelbase.






and i wanna know what the yellow thing in the back left of the 40 photo is

cheers
