looking at the color, i think it might be George Bushs' cousin :wink: :lol: . If only the brakes worked as well as the painter we might have had a bit more fun on sunday :oops: . Although watching the plume of black smoke firing out the exhaust of the playdoh was good for a laugh :D

Once upon a time it was a very nice, and pretty capable toyota, Then the pom got hold of it, and, as the english did with most of the countries they colonised, it was ruined beyond repair. :shock: :oops: :oops:
Oh well there are lots of other toyotas. I don't think he can do them all :lol: :lol:

Hey ya Dixie they are only 36 x 12.5 x 15 tsl's. Shite on the road until they warm up and beat themselves into shape, but much softer in compound than other extreme tyres, which means they hang onto the rocks (even wehn wet).

Lilpigzuk, you point out that pink is the new black to Niblik :D

Hello all, heres my little toy! Started life as a '82 Suzi SJ410 Hardtop. Ran it for a while with the leaf springs. Now it has a few more mods. Coils allround, Disc brakes allround with twin callipers on the rear for independent brakes. Runs a SJ413 motor and box but still runs the original Transfer case and 4.11 diffs. 4 Link up front with panhard rod and a 3 link out the back using a custom made upper A arm. As you can see i went for white as the main colour just for something different!! :D
