These are some of the best looking tundra rigs I have seen by far, so I hit up one of the best in the business, MG200 to build the chassis

the inspirations:

Wally101's Sloppy Tundra

and Mad4Rnr's Tuna

and the final creation with a touch of MG200

This is gonna be a SICK build! Great start...

Cheers

truck looks like it'll be quite the build, what all do you plan on putting in it power wise?

Bulldog · 10-08-2012, 11:54 PM

Nice Z! Maybe when they are both finished we can get together and have a little Tundra-off!

thanks fellas.

I can't wait to get it in the mail today and send it off for the powder coat. I'm planning on running all the electronics from the donor rig. Stock AE-2 with an Integy 35T.

fo - sho Bulldog, I've been curious to see your southern buggy in person

donor rig:

wally101 · 10-11-2012, 09:59 AM

Nice rig you got there Z

MG builds some sick chassis. Can't wait to see this in person.

thanks Wally, can't wait to get it on the mail, but it looks like the post office might of lost the package or it's com'n via burro...lol

gotta wait a couple more days

question.....how did you trim your fenders?

z71baja · 10-11-2012, 10:20 PM

Siu-siu-filiu...I got a USPS confirmation scan that my package arrived. Sweet. Not that anyone cares but me.

Bulldog · 10-12-2012, 10:51 PM

We'll care when we see pictures!!!!

z71baja · 10-22-2012, 07:16 AM

I have a few cosmetic updates. Painted the cab, threw on some sponsor decals and made a diamond plate cab bacl filler:

finished cab

diamond plate cab back filler. This mounts to the cage, not the cab. This is what I opted for since cutting .060 diamond plate is easier than working with styrene...and it looks a bit cool

also made one for the clod

Jeepster13 · 10-22-2012, 09:01 AM

Looks awesome!

THUG LIFE · 10-22-2012, 06:07 PM

Rig is looking great

I really like that cab back! And the paint and graphics look killer!

Where did you get the diamond plate?

doc.hamilton · 10-23-2012, 07:53 AM

Yeah z, this is turning out to be a killah rig!

So, um where did you source the diamond plate?

And this goes out to the RCC community who've done Tuna builds; where did you get your bodies?

I'm pretty convinced that a Tuna buggy should be my next, next build (after my wraith kit and B4 my D90), but a good winter project...

Cheers,
Todd

wally101 · 10-23-2012, 03:36 PM

Coming together nice! Can't wait to see this in actions
