|  xtra cab mountain hilux
So I'm starting my build over, all the stuff I'm doing is loosly inspired off of some of the trucks I see going in the valley here in Hawaii, this will most likely be a slow build as I am workin alot and squeezing in work on my truck during lunch, so here we go, lmk what y'all thank!!

well i have got rid of most of this truck but i started all over, im now using a diaz chassis i think?/ leafe in the rear and 4 link up front, i sold all of the stuff in the original post but i got the same body back so ill still be makin the toyota, when i was makin the links for the front i accidently made them about a half inch too long..... sooo i decided, why not do an extebded cab, but i never seen 1:1 ext cab hilux before till i came across this  so i decided to make it, i have ordered another cab and will be workin on it as soon as it comes in. this is my first body stretch type job workin with styrene and all that good stuff. |

Well today I had a little extra time so I made up a rear bumper and rock sliders, since I'm still working on the chassis, I haven't made mounting points yet. Here's a couple pics of what I got   |

i got a set of wheels today, i traded these for my chassis and eneded up buying them back today, when i traded them i didnt complete the lug nut mod but when i got them back the powder coating had been removed and the mod was finished i think i might paint them up black not sure yet, i kinda like this rough raw finish lool  |

I got the rear body mount done today, copied cutlass( thanks for your idea ) and put on the other pair of wheels, I think it's lookin good so far, still gotta do some sanding on the body and then it'll be ready for paint and also I'm thinkin about bending up a dog cage for the back for those hunting trips and maybe even stuff a mouse and get a boat head to lay out across the cage?!? What you think? Lol here the final body position and a flex shot with all leaf springs, not as much as the linked suspension but hopefully once the springs break in it'll start flexin better  |
