|  Landcruiser Doublecab Truck
Bored with the other Landcruiser, I have decided to start another. This time it'll be a doublecab. The starting point is a pair of Radio Shack Crocodile Hunter bodies.

This is the kind of truck I am going for. Definitely a Class 1 machine. Not sure yet if it'll be based off of a TF2 or an SCX10 with leaves. Or a mixture of both (TF2 axles with SCX frame and custom leaves).   Last edited by pixelnate; 10-31-2012 at 08:37 PM. |

Why O why can't we get something this cool in the US? It probably has something to do with safety regulations - 5mph bumpers or something stupid like that... And who needs 5mph bumpers anywho?  T |

More inspiration. I am thinking that the bed will be something like this. Really I am just digging this truck overall.

Wow. Has it really been this long since I posted on this thing. I guess I'm on the 5 year build plan. I have started filling in the roof holes on this one and my other fj. Still a long way to go, but because of the way the other truck is going in going to spend a but more time on this one. In addition to working on the body, I secured a new chassis that I'll be putting GCM tranny relocation kit on. That way I can make use of the HD parts in the Axial transmission and still have a transfer case to keep the interior unfettered. Hers a pic of the body in its current state.  Tappa who? |

Apparently, I really am on the five year plan. I've been thinking about this truck recently, while I am doing all of the other things that are consuming my time, and I have begun to think that the shape of this truck might actually be closer to a Mercedes G500. What do y'all think? More info on Highsnobiety. |

You could find this Merco truck 6x6 in China on Bestgear or Banggood for around 160$. It's really worth it, I bought one a month ago and it's great fun with some lights and a winch. |
