Default Spots time to do a Hilux...

I picked up this frame and body in the for sale section not to long ago. The dingo kit I ordered to pull parts from just arrived so its time to get busy.

My old chassis. I am excited to see what you do with it.

This chassis did awesome as a class 2 rig VS. some of the local Class 3 rigs.

Its getting there. I will skip all the kit build pics as we have all seen them 1000 times before.

Here are a few pics as she is sitting now. I narrowed the front and opened up the wheel openings. The body is still being worked over to say the least. Rims are just for mock up.






and the must have shot....

Bringing this back from the dead...well, the basement really. I don't like how the tube bumper looks now with the narrowed front end. I am working on a new bumper for her....what to do, what to do?

Just fine. This has been sitting in the basement collecting dust. The tires have never been used. I will let you know when it finally gets outside.
