I've wanted to build a total red necked out Toyota for a while now, so now that I've finished my Berg comp rig, it's time for some fun :-)

I've always dug the Toy's with no bed or semi-truggied out. Simple but raw looking.

I started with the usual hybred parts. TLT axles, bruiser chassis, leafs and body. I'm not sure what to do with the tranny (any ideas are welcome there). I originally wanted to use Bruiser axles but there too dainty for the abuse this rig will go through. I then decided to leaf the rig front and back. However putting leafs on a TLT axle is a bitty. Then I noticed that 1BadJeepBruiser used RC4WD lockouts on his clone allowing a mount for a leaf.....very cool! For rims and tires, I'll use OG Tamiya Pajero/etc rims (the satin ones) and some RC4WD Rock Crushers. There the perfect height and look for this rig.

I've cut the back off the bruiser frame so that I can add a straight bar across the back for a bumper. This is house the lights and such. It also ends the chassis nicely with the shackle hangers exposed. Next I need to make the rear of the cab. I was able to blow-up from the Tamiya build manual the rear firewall/whateveritscalled.

I have a ton of work yet to do but it's been fun so far.

Any pics of 1:1 rigs that fit the bill are welcome and please post up any ideas you have. I'm not that great of a builder but I'll try

On a side note, if any of you want the CAD drawling for the leaf mounts that I made your welcome to them. There simple and easy to make.

Thanks for looking

A few more pics....

I'll include a 1:1 example to give you an example of what I'm after.

Lets see more get to building.

Stormin2u · 08-02-2008, 03:04 PM

Always a pleasure to watch you build a scale rig and a red neck ride works for me.

suzuki_yota · 08-02-2008, 03:08 PM

Hey man. This thing looks awsome. Ready too see some more progress. I'm looking to build a scaler in the near future and these are the kind of builds I like too see.

RC_Addict · 08-02-2008, 03:08 PM

Awesome

chino438 · 08-02-2008, 04:03 PM

great job on those mounts, they look clean! i like your idea for the bed. here is what i did to mine when i smashed the bed on my hilux.

i just put the flat bed on for now until i fix the original bed. the cab wall still needs to be finished on it also. need to sand off the paper that got stuck to it while glueing! lol.

onlyinajeepxj · 08-03-2008, 08:42 PM

Looks like a cool build. Of course, you can't go wrong with that chassis and a Yota body.

rckjeep · 08-04-2008, 01:25 AM

Hey Brett, I've got some 3/8" square cromoly tube that will close off that bruiser frame perfectly. I tried it already on my cut-down bruiser frame. Have someone TIG it in and you'll be set. I bought it at McMaster.com. If you want just a little piece let me know I think I've got a bit left over from my Jeep frame.

I'm gonna have to steal the rear mounted leaf idea too. Oh and what axle is this? The un-angled leaf mounts are stumpin me.

Also, I think the SDI Trail Dr. XL's would fit it better since Swampers are cheaper and you did say Redneck. Us Rednecks are poor remember.

countryboy4life · 08-04-2008, 01:58 PM

If you read and didn't look at the pics...oh wait I did too!!

There TLT's!!

BTW your last sentence is true!!!

Looks good Kaewto!!!

rckjeep · 08-04-2008, 04:18 PM

But this area doesn't look like stock TLT. The rectangle looks too narrow and the bolts go thru at an angle when looking at the top. Thats why I was asking.

Racer4Life · 08-04-2008, 04:23 PM

Axles are way to nice to be a REDNECK build!

PinchFlat · 08-04-2008, 08:22 PM

Sigh... Yeah even though kaetwo can be a little "special" sometimes, I'm sure he just overlooked this little detail... The rear axle is a Tamiya Diesel truck axle.

Very soon. I've got a full load these days so my build are slow. I just got some material to do some additional work, so I'll have more progress shortly

I really appreciate that. I've got some material that I'm thinking of using but it's flat bar so it may not look that great. I have may just take you up on that offer

As far as using the mounts, steal away

I think your right on the SDI's....I'll have to find a set of those too.

I'll have to take them to the dremel and then the dirt. The axles, rims and tires are just too new

Grizzly4x4 · 08-04-2008, 11:50 PM

Oh goody! I've been waiting for this.

Will it have stains running down the door from spitting chew?
