I started out by painting the bed silver and then did a black wash over the whole thing to give it a worn look

and put hand marks and wiped spots underneath

then i cut out for a torch

then I started the interior

the dashboard is mounted to the truck so i had to leave a space between it and the center console

that is all I've done for now but I will keep posting progress as i get time to work on it.

top notch!

metallocide · 01-12-2010, 06:06 PM

Looks really good. I like how you aged the bed using the black wash. Nifty idea indeed.

Wild Snapper · 01-12-2010, 06:22 PM

Nice looking rig man, I'm doing a Hilux Honcho as we speak. I really like how you did the back end with the torch on your truck. Very clean

Keep up the good work.

thanks guys wild snapper your yota looks great

I figured a way to bring the rock sliders forward about 3/8" it brings them under the cab more I'll post pics soon

tuner · 01-12-2010, 09:06 PM

Looks really good! You should raise your front bumper on top of the mounting holes it makes it look so much better.

pigeonfarmboy · 01-12-2010, 09:35 PM

Bed & Interior are killer! Awesome ideas! Can't wait to see the interior finished.

Nice man, post that up. It will be helpful for people and I have the feeling we are going to see alot more of these Hilux/Honchos being built. Again your rig looks great.

Aaronb · 01-12-2010, 10:50 PM

im wondering how well the tundra body would look on there?

calikingcrawler · 01-12-2010, 11:01 PM

I was too. But i read somewhere that it was to long with the ex cab.

The_kernel114 · 01-12-2010, 11:31 PM

how did you get the rear cage to mount securely to the rear of the frame. i want to do a tundra or hilux cab on my honcho but can't figure out how to mount the cage.

pics please

axialscraper · 01-13-2010, 04:24 AM

Great idea about lifting the front bumper I was planning on comping this truck this year so that would help alot,and as far as mounting the the cage I am still working on that.

RockyM · 01-13-2010, 06:18 AM

The bed looks really great! How did you do the "black wash" to give it a worn look? Can you give me some details how that works?

Mini · 01-13-2010, 08:14 AM

That sucker looks good!!!! What did you use to give the diamond plate that old look?
And what ESC are you using?

big bronco · 01-13-2010, 12:31 PM

ive been wanting to do this ever since i brought my honcho home. is there any clearence issues w. the battery and hood? did u have to move any mounting points?

fathead · 01-13-2010, 12:49 PM

nice build, you definitelly have 1 sweet truggy...

JJR · 01-13-2010, 01:44 PM

WOW, that is great work.

axialscraper · 01-13-2010, 02:24 PM

To do the black wash you just take black paint and thinner about 50/50 paint it over everything and blotch or wipe it away with a rag while it is wet It will sit in the corners and low spots,if you have too dark of spots just put thinner on a brush and repeat to your liking.iyou can do the same on the hi-lift jack and gas tank
