|  EddieV's 4Runner build
Back in 09 Bob started this thread: Vedder's 4Runner I am starting a new one as the truck is starting a new chapter...its going to get FINISHED. A LONG time ago, I negotiated building this 4Runner in partial trade for Bob's Isuzu PU built by looneybin. Well, things got crazy, career change, and a minor set back on the roof of the body so it sat for some time. Things have settled down and I am back in the spirit of building. I snapped a few pics of it and I dropped the Bruiser interior into purple power to strip the paint off. I am going to try and start on the interior this weekend, if it strips tonight. I also got my order of Harris safety silv 56 and flux and have a bunch of brake line so I am going to start bending up the rear factory roll bar as well as some Marlin Crawler armor and TG shock hoops for it. Specs: Hilux body gone 4Runner by Off The Grid OG Bruiser chassis Chino Skid Chino Leafs Rummafied Brusier axles Custom rear upper shock mount My OG wheels/tires from my clone  CTC front hubs Kyosho 4runner rear hubs RC4WD Ultimate yota axle U bolt flip (Yup they work!) Onto some pics!   Sun faded roof...It get some "appropriate" east coast 4Runner rust      O yeah...did I mention it will have 100% replica 4Runner emblems?? Yeah kinda like these      Interior coming soon!  |

I was gonna ask about those Iroc's aswell, I've been debating on trying to put together a hardbodied drag car lately. Any idea if anyone has another one of these one off Yota's kicking around, my mechanic wants to get into rc crawling but wants to build a rep of his truck.

So sick! Watching this build closely! I just got a bigbird runner body and although its nowhere near as accurate as nOObs it will be a fun project nonetheless.

Great work as usual Chris. The emblems are awesome. One question, why so many Yotas and the name "OneBadJeepBruiser"? it's always puzzled me.

That's a bad ass rig man! Very nice work. I'm a HUGE YOTA fan and that rig gives me even more reason to love them! Keep up the amazing work!! |

 As for the name, back in the day I use to use "IHaveBruiser" on rcmt and such sites, then when I came here I thought the coolest badest ass rig I had was my Jeep Bruiser  Kinda gives ya an idea of just how far scale has come in the last 5 years...back then, that jeep was considering to be one of the baddest ass rigs around...Now a days people would be like why does it have Toyota axles and please lower the body, k thanx bye!  More on EddieVs runner soon, I had to go car shopping with my mother this weekend so I didnt get chance to work on anything...at least she ended up with a 09 Impreza GT hatch back  | |
