Default Dorkstar Toyota

Well, looks like I have 4 or 5 days to build my entire 1.9" for Montana. Big 'ol Jeep is taking a lot of time, and she's not even done. This Toyota will be pretty minimal in terms of extra-details, but it'll go, and that's about all the time I have!

On to the build!



Tranny with Hot Racing stainless spool:





Hand Brothers steering on, metal bodied shocks...







Faith from Buffy the Vampire Slayer will be driving...



I'm going to push the rear out to 12"...



More to come! I've got to hustle!!!

Something is wrong with your thump.



I'm pretty sure it will still turn out really clean and nice like you other rigs.

It used the 3 screw holes that the battery mount would use...

Thanks people!
