 I *think* I can have this running by the end of week....here it what I accomplished last night. I am hoping to have the interior done by the end of the weekend, then this week braze up shock mounts front and rear, build a tire carrier, mount scale accessories and make it go..we will see   Gauges are in  Upholstery is done, its a anti-rattle stick on felt kit from Toyota dealer I hope you guys like marlin crawler shifters, twin stick set up   Center consol it good to go, even has the felt in it like the real Yotas has in theres, even has the 10mm bolts holding it down...ok maybe it doesnt have those but it has the felt thats it for now, thanks for looking -Mike | ||||

I am a big fan of safe wheeling, I think if you wheel you should have a cage... so I thought, why should this be any different.. Interior roll cage      Shifters are in and painted, I also installed the gas and clutch pedal. Gas pedal is from the camaro model and I cut the brake pedal in half to make the yota style brake and clutch pedal. I still need to finish the CB radio but the interior is almost done  |

Man Mike, I love the cage. Always wanted to do an interior cage & couldn't figure how to tie it to the frame. You answered that for me.... don't! I tend to over think things a lil sometimes.  Great build I'm really enjoying it |

Sweet cage and a nice design too, loving the little grab handles. Made of metal? |
