this is a really nice kit to put together.













more to come as I make progress

I cant even tell you what a pain in the ass this lighting was to do. But I am happy with the results.











guess I have to put the lights back in the hilux now. :(

I think it look cool if you continued the same paint layout into the camper. Unless you don't want it to exactly match.. Looking good!

yet another update

stripes are on, I decided to keep it simple as I am not very good with vinyl.





I also ran another wire for a lamp inside




table has foil tape around the edge its supposed to look like those crappy mdf fake woodgrain tables with the chrome edging from the 80s



not sure about the antenna location yet so I just ran the wire up under the hood for now.



its getting there.....

I like the stripes that you put on the side of the camper to match the truck, and did you make or buy the ladder it looks really good. Id like to have something like that for my camper too.
