This is the start of my Landcruiser/Bushwacker build. I got the TCS chassis, leaf springs and Bushwacker body about 2 weeks ago. I took apart my AX-10 comp truck to use the axles and tranny for this build.

This is what I have so far. Its not much. I wanted to get some weight on the chassis to check how soft the suspension is. The Slash wheels are just for mockup (thanks Jason), I plan to use some 4.25in tall 1.9 tires.

I think the leafs are going to work well. Suspension flexes pretty smooth. Hopefully they hold up well. If not I will do a 4 link.

you should to sand beige for your main color with the white top.

way better looking than blue (im assuming your going voodoo blue which is the factory light blue on the new fj's)

The blue I have chosen should be a little darker that the Factory FJ blue.

The beige does look good though.
