Default Hilux Truggy

Well I dont need another project but the chance came along to buy this chassis and cab off a member in Scale 4x4 and I had to pick it up for the price. The frame was machined from what i understand and the cage is built from aluminum. The cab and grill are both original bruiser parts so I dont think I will run them, I will just pick up some repro stuff. Its going to run 2.2's, emaxx tranny, and tlt axles. Going to 4 link it and throw on a set of RC4WD 110mm dual rate shocks. I had to add a yota to the collection. Here are a few pics of the chassis and cab.

I'm drawing up plans to try to build a Truggy for a winter project.
Sweet build so far. I'm going to be watching this one too.

Looks like a nice Flat Bed Yota to me . Truggy's don't use frame rails in the rear . The rear is all tube work on a Truggy . The rear shocks mount to the tube work not frame rails on a truggy . Bob that frame off and add some tubing . I'm not taking anything away from your build its a nice Flat Bed Yota .
