another great build.

Your builds are what inspired me to buy another hliux and do a scale build.

Thanks for sharing all this incredible work.

Real men make their own vents!

Oh yeah, you are in a "boy band" aren't you?

Been there done that on the last one, this boyband is keeping it simple this time around

I stripped my 1.9 buggy down last night so I could drop it off at the powder coaters today, I also stripped 3 Bruiser frames too, so the only thing that I have to work on was the Hilux.

I won some 1.9 mud slingers on scale 4x4 so I decided to see how they looked instead of the BFGs. I took the rims off the rear and gave them a quick hand polish

I then installed my new rear hub parts that I picked from KPN on RCMT, he through in some nicer condition caps as well. I decided to paint my hubs black like shodog's hilux, I think they look this way

Not sure If I posted about these yet, but I got these sick hub covers from some dude on ebay, the locking part is done in red, looks real slick

I cant work on the dash untill I get it primed and painted, because I need to install the gages before I start glue in the fire wall and stuff so I started on the bench seat. This takes forever, because I overlap each piece every so slightly although the hilux seat is easier because it doesnt have that stupid bump in it, so its going to look better too

This is as far as I got last night...it was 1 am so it was bed time...

greasypete · 11-09-2007, 12:05 PM

The hubs look like they should, in black !! Good choice !

Also the seat comes out great. Cant wait to see the complete interior finished

BTW: That body looks like absolute new! It has not seen any paint, didn´t it ? I am still stripping paint off, on mine!!

Amazing work Mike. You're going to make me build another Yota.....

shodog · 11-09-2007, 06:34 PM

I like how it's turning out. I have been meaning to pick up a set of the two color caps. Although I'm not so sure about the mud slingers. They are a hot tire, just from the wrong era of the truck. I think the BFG's are more suited to the old school look.

I lucked out and got it with the body already stripped of its paint

I started sanding out the deep scratches, then I am going to up to my stepdads fire house and prime it in the work bay...see what flaws are left and go from there.

Im still not 100% sold on the slingers, mainly because I cant use the internal locking rings which means I would have to glue them and I dont really want to do that... I will see how it looks as I get further along. Appreciate the good feedback though

hiliftcrawler · 11-09-2007, 08:36 PM

sweet man good job like it with the slingers

nitrokev · 11-09-2007, 09:02 PM

great job.. and a note on the hubs.. depending on the brand of hub... aisen hubs are metal with blue center...just letting ya know... that interior is amazing...... the vents incredible..

1BadJeepBruiser · 11-10-2007, 02:45 PM

Started on the steering column....

those 4 pcs slowy became this

While the glue was drying, I started on the deck...

added my volume knob and eject CD button and made a CD as well

Then added the rest of the buttons...

while the deck was drying I went back to the column and started on the key cylinder

Then I started making this...

Anyone know what that is

4u2nv · 11-10-2007, 02:49 PM

A key... I can't believe you are putting keys in the ignition. That's killer
