Oh...dear. The wheels are too small. WAY too small. I like the colour though. Apart from the wheels it looks alright in my opinion, thought I think the bumpers and trim should be the same colour as the roof. Hydraulics are a bit of a waste.

There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

they do look very close i agree.. i think thayve used spacers between the axle and spring to lower it, they usually use them to lift cars with leaf over axle setup's

and i agree with you ed, the colour looks good, i think the colour coded bumpers and arches look good i think it makes it look clean and tidy.. maybe better on a tintop though...

love it, but im a fan of unusual. if its not going to be used off road then why not i say.

there was a metalica red/pink/marroon sj on air a few years ago. sadly the last i saw of it
was on ebay minus its "lowrider" bits.

I just think the wheels are a bit too small, apart from that its pretty cool! I've always toyed with the idea of a slammed Sammy, 2wd with a big jap turbo lump :brows:

I like the idea, its not done as well as the Asian red SJ which shows up every so often, i'd love a slammed SJ too. there was a thread on difflock years ago (ive tried to find it but cant now - it was before the big picture crisis so its probably lost its content anyway) with a European gentleman who had a lowered SJ with the vit 8v engine with x2 twin choke webers & a fastback soft top, after reading the thread it inspired me, it looked great and made me get a fastback!

For how low it is I think its too tall. Needs a top chop
