Default Warpig makeover, I'm tired of Fords

Well, like it says, I'm tired of Ford Warpigs, no offense but I wanted something different and what could be better than a Hilux??? I say nothing. These are just some pictures to start out with, it could change a lot in the next while. The only problem is I am going to have no time for the next couple of weeks so not much will get done.

***If you have pictures of truggies that you like let me see them, I need some ideas***

I had a '94 Toyota that I never should have gotten rid of, red with black bumpers and trim. I'm going to give it a new coat of red and some black cage and bumper work.

Yeah, the clod bodies are cool but they are becoming pretty hard to come by, not that the Hilux bodies aren't but its worth it to me. No offense to the Ford crowd, I was just never that into them.
I'm really excited for this to come together, its going to take a while though, but that's all right.

Looks good. Definitely like it more than the HL's and Clods. I'm a huge Toyota fan. So what's up you got two Hilux builds going on at the same time. I need a Bruiser/Mounty/Hilux body so I can start one of my own. Got any left over you might want to part with? I know it's prob. a stupid question. Looks good Keep it up!

I'm excited to see this build.

It will be cool to see a new body mounted up for a WarPig.

Awww, and I'm just getting around to building a warpig I would think this crawling thing is getting popular with the way you talk about the bajillion warpig builds.

Finding the right body is always the toughest part of a build for me. Im thankful that we have the choices that we have. How you gonna attach that body? Looks like a nice build.

I'm not sure yet, I'm still waiting for thr grill to arrive so I can set everything up correctly then I will be able to get somewhere on it. I'd like to have it hinge somehow but it will take some figuring out.

Keep your panty hose on, Pinch likes it better that way I'm still waiting for the grill to show up. I can't really do anything on the rear until I have the front mounted and I am not sure how I want to mount the body without the grill

A warpig is a K2 chassis with some sort of hardbody on front and a flatbed on the back.

A the one that calls himself the Grizzly is talking to me again....hmmmm yes he must be wise. Hat? What hat? I have a red pinto that I like to use on long drives in the canyon but I don't know about any hat.

3

No 6

Better yet I better build a bruiser with a truggy back end. Yes....truggy.

WTF is up with the hat though.

Good advice Griz

He will be very pleased!
