I could have only wished mine came out as good as yours, you windows in the back look awesome, I was really struggling with how to to my back ones with the rounded top area of the back window.

Also I think the grill looks AWESOME! it definitely has gone from a trekker/hilux w/cap look to a 4runner looking rig now. I would maybe paint the stock body flares black, then add rivets to look like it has buschwacker flares on it which will really help it pass as a runner

Or at the least add the black section in front of the rear wheel well ;)

I love your roof rack and the lights, and the high lift jack is done nicely, however I think its to large for the rack and the truck, but thats just me. Overall.....Killer project

Mike
good plan with the arches gonna have a look at them now

As for the Jack i'm just gonna un bolt it (take a pic) and prove you wrong!

That has awesome detail and look like the real deal but there is just something about it...like its to wide maybe?? I just cant put my finger on it. It does look better when you have it next to the truck

like I said, just my opinion

smm_cbf · 07-19-2008, 05:19 PM

great detail in both the rig and the hl. also love what you did withthe wheel center cap. good job

XSRCdesign · 07-20-2008, 06:42 AM

Nice job!

Dready · 07-20-2008, 10:00 AM

Gonna need an aerial to pick up the tunes whilst your out on the trails!

Nova's Ark · 07-20-2008, 12:46 PM

I wish I had the patience and perseverance to tackle a hard body project like you. The driver and detailed interior is nice as well. Awesome build

More photos!

The old 4runner gas Tank was shot so a new lightweight one was sourced, No scratch that I built it myself:-P

I also added an exhaust pipe to help the RC4wd tranny breathe better!

Safety is important so a Third brake light was also added.

If your carrying gas you got to strap it down well.
(Homemade Cylindar and also tie strap.

More tricks up my sleeve yet so pop back if you like

keeps on getting better; nice work

Going Up! · 07-20-2008, 02:55 PM

WOW NICE JOB!!! But the hi lift looks a little too big to me, when it is on the truck, it almost seems like it is too big, or something...

The gas tank is AWESOME but the only problem is that it is upside down...

SWEET TRUCK!! I really like it!!

1BadJeepBruiser · 07-20-2008, 03:28 PM

Tank and 3rd brake light are sweet touches

Just keeps getting better.

Your the second person to mention about the jack

Think its the bottom bit
A touch chunky might try and shave it down a bit either that or start again!

The gas bottle should be upright as per health and safety guidelines but i'm a Rebel:-P

Just want it to look nice and scale and different from the norm.
Just scored another Hilux Shell too

So might keep this one for best and have a second shell for Abusing not sure yet cos i fancy copying your Clone, So theres one in blighty too.

pantablo · 07-20-2008, 04:44 PM

nice work, but I agree, the hilift jack is too bulky. the proportions are wrong. its too fat in the middle so to speak. the vertical with holes should be much more slender.

for reference:

countryboy4life · 07-20-2008, 05:33 PM

OMFG...I just SHIT my pants and then some!!!!!

lmao. jk. LOOKS REALLY GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
