|  Expedition Hilux
After playing around with the SCX Body it looked like this ....  I like the look with al those scratches and dents but it is time for something new   To fit the body that low I had to change the rear suspension.  I haven't testet in the woods jet but going up and down some stuff im my room worked fine .... The wheels are a tad to big so I tried some from a buddy.     The bumpers are quik and dirty, I needed something to protect the body during the first test run ....     I still have lots of stuff to do under the body an with the body  Motor, waterproof electrics, light, rollbar/exocage like a Landy, droppbed ? hit the thumbs for the bigger picture ... |

I spend the evening mounting the front shocks above the axle. I think it looks more realistic and leaves more room for the BTA ....   I will try to put a panhardbar in there ... but is there a way I can lower the steering rod without moving the servo down ? How is this done in 1:1 trucks ? |

I didn't get much done today ... mounted a panhardbar and took her for a trip in the woods. Everything seems to work fine I hope to get my exocage soon! |

Your rig looks great, but it's hard to see the details with such small pictures. I want to see more. |

If you click on the thumbs you will see a bigger version. Or do you mean even bigger ?     some nice stuff from SDI still need to be fitted correctly ... |

The Yota looks good! I really like the bed cage. I've always wanted one for my 1:1 Tacoma and will eventually have one made for it. Those flares look really good on it. Keep up the good work! |
