Such an awesome truck even the new babe like it

No disrespect but the new babe has awesome legs.

Alright so a truck popped up on eBay that I had to have...with the holidays rapidly approaching I really didn't have 500$ to spend on said truck but I had to have it which meant something had to be sold. I really like Lents old truck here because of the door less cab and removable hood so I really didn't wanna part with it. I also really like my red Hilux from Matt/obijuan, mostly because of the OG Hilux drop bed that I did on it. Both are bruiser based and that's when it hit me...quick bed swap, wheels/tires, and chino leafs and then I wasn't no longer attached to the red lux. We had a warm day so I quick tapped off the bed, hit with some primer and gave it a quick coat of paint to match the cab. Win.




I also sold the front bumper off to a buddy, he offered such good money for it I couldn't justify keeping it, so now I'm gonna try and build another this week for it. I also wanna try and work on the interior some more too...

It's bolted into the existing holes in the factory rear cross members

Yes! Love the bed. Nice one sir.

Looking good Mike. I like it better with the step side bed.

Yea, I think that's a killer rig! Digging its story through different owners. It's got heritages 😏

[1BadJeepBruiser]

Sorry no updates at the moment. Been working on a bunch of stuff. I still have to paint the bumper and I found the sliders I started and had misplaced so I really wanna finish those too. I'll be back to it soon. Got some work to do on the interior too.
