|  My Hilux project.
I picked up another complete scx10.2 chassis minus drive line. Decided I wanted to test my patience and build by true definition a truggy. This will probably be a slow drawn out build since I'll be slowly sourcing drive line parts and also figuring out what style back end I want to build. So far the only thing I know I want to try is pinching the nose a little and fit an interior hopefully. Non of my trucks have had one yet and I think this truck should be the one I do. So far I threw some left over links I had laying around on the chassis As well as some empty ar44 housing I've had sitting in the corner. I chopped some of the front of the chassis off since I wanted the cab to sit back a little and chopped the front of the fenders. Sat the cab on top and took a couple pictures not a lot to see yet.

Robbed my axles off my tundra truck for mocking up the cab. Think it'll have to get raised up a bit.   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Think I've got the cab sitting where I'd like it. Hopefully start making some metal bits for it this weekend as long as I get my safety silv.   Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I love how this is turning out. If any experienced cage builders see anything I need to add structure wise please let me know. This is my first ever brazed up cage so I'd like it not to fall apart still need to get the cab mounted and sliders attached.       One without the tire on.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Body mounts are on as well as sliders!  I expected this to take much longer. I'm going to have to start looking for axles trans and running gear soon...  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Front bumper is done. Could have turned out better but it's going to get banged up anyways. Also got some more goodies in the mail. I have a trans and drive shafts now    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Got my electronics in today. Also got my matching spare tire and wheel. It moves under it's own power sort of. Everything works which is all I really wanted to check. Also wanted to get a rough weight on it so I weighed it. Right over 6lbs. Balance feels pretty good as well.    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

So I think it's going to be Toyota 375 for the paint color. Its period correct and I think it looks perfect. Test sample on the fender.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
