The accessories are homemade.The gas cans were carved from a block of ?????(polypropylene?? or delrin??)I got it from wallmart.I used a sander,small file and drill press to shape them and cut out the handle.The shovel is a piece of sheet metal and the stick from my kids broken kite.Both tool boxes are styrene,and checker plate from tower hobbies.The jumper cables are 1/8" cooper tubing,wire and heat shrink on the clamps.Bungee cord, hair band and paper clip.The easyest is the fan belt,rubber band.

I like the fact that it is a leafer and has mad flex. Does that much flex mess with it while driving? Does the body roll excessively? Either way, way to take it up a notch! |

Thanks for all the compliments. hvydty1....There is some torque twist but not excessive,it is 4-link in the rear cexodusk... start saving,LOL..The body and chassis are the pricey parts,Alot of this is homemade stuff,lights,acessorries,cross members,links, and brackets,so it takes more time than money The body and chassis I got from e-bay I got some lights hooked up,I used minimag bulbs,a couple switches,and some battery holders.Heres the pics      I used some parts from the new hilux to fill in the bed,and cover the switches. I'm working on the chassis now trying to finish up some loose ends,More updates coming soon. |
