Looking good mike, the 12" UTE chassis works much better for what you are after. |

They are Styrene strips that I bought at the LHS and then measured out the spacing and glued in...was probably one of the hardest parts (getting the spacing right). I think the size (width) and thickness is pretty good, they make a bunch of different sizes so if you want the size send me a PM and ill get it to you | |

Cool build so far....I dig these Toyota builds, especially when leafs are used. Not much flex in the rear though........ |

yea we don't get good deals like that in the north east cause shit rots. when shit rots it dies. when shit dies it becomes worth money. when shit becomes worth money it gets sent fresno. when shit gets sent to fresno it is purchased cheap. when shit gets purchased cheap it gets sent back to the great north east. damn i wish i rented a room in the back of eddie vedder's motor coach. then we could all move to fresno and become famous. |

You know, you people crack me up...you come to our site here and just think you are some sort of primadona because you have a BOUGHT built 1:1... Allow me to put you in your place... MY R/C collection, could buy that truck of your brothers about 10x over... And that is no Joke...I just sold 3 of my trucks 2 weeks back for just under 3gs. Congrats on buying an already built truck, that must have been a lot of fun rebuilding the engine from the block up...O wait...you didn't do that because it runs "smooth" right? Must have had even more fun putting that SA in...O wait, you bought an 85...didnt have to... Congrats on living next to marlin, must be nice to walk in and grab what you want...I did what most normal people do and called and ordered my front bumper and sliders from them... Some people, prefer to BUILD there own trucks...the way they want it to be and so they know it will hold up to more then one trail ride...I have rebuilt my engine from the block up, new bearings and everything. I have a 3" trail-gear SAS kit in the garage and have an 85 front axle here at work with 4.88s, ARB locker, and Bobby Long Birfs... although judging by your tude, youll probably be one of those who buys and scx10, slams a hilux body on it with every scale accessory he can find and thinks he has the greatest scale rig of all time. You have a lot to learn Drunk...you dont join our forum here and mock senior members. Respect is earned here, I suggest you sit back and do a lot of reading before opening your mouth again Updates later guys, I have the body here at work with me...Bed is repainted and is getting rhinolined and the front inner fender is nearing completion -Mike Last edited by 1BadJeepBruiser; 08-24-2009 at 08:16 AM. | |

Maybe you shouldn't be so angry? Then you could post more pics of this build. Drunk Edit: Yes I own a SCX, but no, no hilux. |
