Here's my Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 hardtop in 6-wide Lego bricks. Seats two minifigures side-by-side, doors opening. I finally got to use the old fashioned classic tires, which make great offroad wheels. Book cover elements as windscreen adapted from my Willys Jeep and Citroen Mehari (and previously from the roadsters by Mr. Cup of Fail (flickr.com/photos/93028248@N08/46792829941/in/photolist-H...), 1x1 round elements integrated with 1x2 slopes to get the rear windows right, hood with 1/x steps from 4 studs to 5 studs width adapted from the Morgan by -Brixe (www.flickr.com/photos/35385165@N05/5942663154/in/album-72...). Steering wheel using a horn and a 1x1 light brick was adapted from Larry Lars (www.flickr.com/photos/28192677@N06/4392319640/in/faves-15...). Lots of SNOT going on underneath as well as clips and stick combinations. Inlet above the grill is shaped by an 1x2 ingot element. The roof uses 1x4 hinges to get from 6 studs to 5 studs width, resulting in a few gaps, which are worth it, I think.

How to seat two minifigures side by side cosily in my Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 hardtop in 6-wide Lego bricks, using 1x2 jumpers and a 1x6 tile. The two minifigures sit a little bit turned to each other because of the doors, which shape the cab from 5 to 6 studs width. Steering wheel using a horn and a 1x1 light brick was adapted from Larry Lars (www.flickr.com/photos/28192677@N06/4392319640/in/faves-15...).
