Honolulu. HI-lux
 

I started my 2nd scaler. Scored the truck as a ARTR from a member here. I started in early January but I decided I wasn't gonna make a thread until I had a good amount done. When I got the truck in had TLTs but I saw the Yotas under 1BJBs Ute and had to have to have set. Then I replaced the stampede trans with a R2HD mounted on Chino skid. Then I moved on to the OG body, I bobbed the bed 1 1/2" and did a drop bed. I still have to detail the bed, mount the steering servo and OG interior and lexan glass. I don't wanna get to ambitious and have this truck become a super long build, I wanna enjoy it. It'll never be finished, as my skill improves and money becomes available this truck will go trough many changes.

nice rig, fella. "thumbsup"

I know what you mean about never finishing a project, I've been building my yota since last october! I only just got the chassis running. :oops:

Oh yeah! lookin' good. Is this one going to be your street TTC rig?

looks awsome so far!

Great job on the bed, makes me want to bob and drop mine.

:shock: looks good so far.

ALL my rigs are WIPs...til I sell them. I would love to use this as my "street" truck but I don't think the leafs could handle the abuse. Thanks for the compliments guys, I'll try my best to keep this build progressing.

I'll be running leafs. I think it'll be fine. You bringing this on sat.?

I'll bring it for "show n' tell". :ror: I still need to mount the steering servo to the chasis and hook up the elecronics for it to be a runner.

Made alittle progress. Started making a tool box but still need a hinged top and cover it with daimond plate.

No real progress just bolted up my 1.55 slingers on black steelies and RC4WD hubs.

Impatience got the best of me. Mounted the steering servo on the frame then I hooked up the rest on the electronics and took the truck onit's maiden run in front of my house. The suspension doesn't flex very well but I hope the springs need to be broken in.
