sorry i didnt do any build up pics or video... I built them up last night at 2am at my buddy's place so we could drive today. But they are simple enough and very tight tolerances!

Oh you know its through the window Once i get a few more items handled on this beast if I feel up to it I'll start on a full on 4 seater interior! I have 4 seats from Team3Six along with his dash panels and some other goodies. At that point I'll cut out the side window for a visual and entry/exit route haha

But I'm not good with the styreen so it might take a few tries and alot of motivation

But on the list to do:
-LED's (lots of em)
-Paint body
-Exhaust (in the works right this minute) (not your average Yota pipes, it'll have an american redneck flair )
-Limiting straps
-There is more but dont wanna give it all away at once

I can hear the "clunk" on the rocks already! Were the mounts standard to mount your dmg 4 link cross member? Are they as heavy as I would imagine? I think I read that they are pretty leady. Awesome! Oh, and same question for the lower link mounts.

Yes the upper and lower mounts are standard just like the stock plastic housing! Bolt on option! And yeah they are heavy SOB's! I havent weighed it yet but its noticable in hand. Ive read it adds 1.5 lbs to the axles!!! COG just dropped drastically and absolutly NO wheel weights so my steering and drivetrain are more efficient!

With more Tundra Truggies getting ordered from MG200 from other people with amazing taste I just wanna say that the BEAST is the original and I will do everything in my power to stay the KING of the Tundras HAHAHAHA

Default Great work, excellent choice

I've been following this thread closely, great rig! I like the look of the swampers back on there

Are you planning to paint the axles?

Would they rust?
