Thumbs up Hardcore Toyota NW - Style

Started another Toyota recently. This will be similar to what we wheel on the tight, muddy trails here in Western Washington
Bobbed bed, exo-cage, leafs, etc.

Bodywork started....bobbed bed and a cowl hood.

Frame and rocksliders made....the exo will attach to the removable rock sliders and the upper half of cage will be removable from the lower half, to make removing the body fairly easy...
That's the "plan" anyway....

That's a good start Josh but please put "Western" Washington, we don't want everybody to think the whole state only has muddy trails:-P, some of us live in the desert in dry conditions

It was fun to watch your FJ tuber work at the TTC, looking forward to how this one crawls

Tubework almost finished. The upper have locates on pins in the lower half of the cage off the rock sliders and bolts down at the front and rear bumpers.

Thanks fellas....
I plan on making the hood open, as my battery pack will be under there and it'll make things SO much easier.

Undecided on paint colors thus far...

The main reason for the cage is to protect the paintjob I have plannned. Maybe realistic-style flames, simulated smoke, tribal flames.....
Or....HEAVY Metalflake and lacework....

I like the cage man, and how it is pinned together for access. Good job.

tribal flame always look cool. but its an older style body. you should consider orange and brown stripes on a tan body.
