Default C3 Tacoma truggy

This chassis was my sorrca C2 rig last year but decided it is better suited as a long wheelbase C3 on Capra portals

Custom Tig welded and brazed stainless chassis
Honcho Tacoma body panels with knight customs grill
VP portal axles
VP VFD with OD
5" Cut n shut 1.9 to 2.2 hyrax g8
CI wheels
Custom foams



Sand blasted chassis

SUBSCRIBED! This is my kind of rig! I dig it. How do you like the glue on wheels?

Thanks!
I've always like the CI 6 bolt wheels, really wish they were offered in a 1.9

wicked cool pd. Curious to know why you are bothering with brazed joints, why not tig weld the entire thing?

Thank you

I cut the section of frame rails out of the rear to convert to truggy rear. I currently do not have a Tig welder, on the hunt for another. So brazing is sufficient for now

Front inner fenders and Limit straps on front only

Had to drill and tap a hole to match the other side of the VP Capra axle for the limit strap
