Lego 4Runner

Since there is a pretty sweet Land Rover Defender Lego model out there, I thought I'd look for a 4runner.

This kid has got the modding bug early

Maybe we need a Lego Offroad/Overland thread

Looks more like an FJ. "Must have two exhaust to reach top speed."

Oh gah, that 2nd set was one of my dream sets when I was a kid.

I'm not going to lie... I've already designed the front end of the 4Runner on the Lego Design program. I haven't managed to figure out how to do the C or D pillar.. otherwise the design is finished in my head.

Sorry, couldn't watch the whole thing. Got distracted by this and decided to click:

That kid is awesome!

Got inspired last night after I got the baby to sleep. Needs work, but I'd say it is 90% there. I have to add my hitch mount bike rack and some bikes.

Awesome! Love it when he says "and this is my upgrade"

And yeah he must be related to Antman in some way. :hiding:

I was thinking of building one of these and extending it to fit an extra door lol.

Looks like this one is a closer match (especially as far as the rear is concerned):

Apparently Lego killed the "Design by Me" program. :wtf:

I was going to make an FJ for my FIL and a Taco for my dad.

FJ Cruiser

Can't help it. I loved legos as a kid and even though I'll never hope to actually build these, I enjoy designing them and figuring out how to make it as legit looking as possible.

 

[Quentin]

Damn, the Trail Team FJ looks down right perfect.

I hate Lego so much right now for not allowing me to spend $200 on lego versions of Toyota trucks. lol

Lego, Custom Engines.

Short youtube video. Possibilities are endless.

For the brothers and sisters who are Lego Fans, let it be known, I live 1/4 mile from the largest Legoland in the world, right here in Winter Haven Floirda. Although I am not an expert, it is my understanding that this "Legoland" carries lego products "kits" if you will, that cannot be purchased any where else. Could be scuttlebutt, but I think it might be true. So, if there is ever a need, let me know and I can see what I can do. Be safe and have a very, Merry Christmas!

And, just to add to the last post, check this out.


V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND


WATCH THIS CLIP, IT’S AMAZING VIDEO OF TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP.

AN OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.

This is not CNC technology; this guy made everything at home on his lathe and drill press.

Took 1220 hours to make the 261 pieces.

Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block (like an Offy), 12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons, dual "underhead" cams with pushrods to rockers in the heads.

And, he did break-in runs using an electric drill driving the crankshaft!


Even if you're not an engineer, you'll love this....
