Truck is looking really good, I like the paint! Too bad about your guy's feet, luckily he wont be having to walk anywhere. Btw, if you find that those fender flairs get in the way of your tires you might try the SDI ones.

So, I couldn't just sit here watching football....had just enough greased lightning to strip the rings....

Plus I wasn't happy with the interior pics I had...



Realized I had some black nuts to add a little contrast...






Time to hit some rocks and get some rash on this. We'll get some poser rock shots next weekend...

Thanks for looking

You've put in a long day and it shows. I like it A LOT. That blue is nice, and the stainless really POPS. Nice job my friend, you should be proud.

looks like it turned out great. let us know how it works when you get it out in some dirt.

could I get a pic of the inside of the tool box with the battery in it? i'm just curious how much room is left in there.

Here is someone else's thread comparing the SDI's to the Bosses..

I have both here at home and the SDI's sit up higher when you cut the fender .. making more room for the tire, if that makes any sense..

Toyota Hilux Flare comparison RC4wd Big Boss flares and SDI Round.

There's some pics on my very slow build of them trimmed and sitting on the cab but not mounted yet.

Thanks for that wolf....pretty familiar with TozRovr's stuff and it looks like those SDI flares might do the trick. I'm going to search around for them...not crazy about cutting the fenders though....we'll see after I see how much they are...

Here you go Warren

After seeing this , I have a yellow battery that might have shown up better in the box....





It was almost dark anyway....
