So are you going to use the Hilux then? Weird thing was I just had a flash in my head to use the Yota cab......right before I clicked on your build.:shock: I'll be watching this one!"thumbsup"

pardonmyn00b 07-28-2011 08:08 PM

Yeah I'm using some Toyota panels. It's all from the scrap bin to keep the cost down. This will not be a blinged out titanium reinforced Wraith by any means:ror:

Goodies

Early stages. The front is getting reworked.

Nice. I'll try to sprinkle a little more toyota in it if I can.

Haha, sure. You can admire the junk collection. Old picture, 4Runner has been replaced by a Tundra.

They are G-Made. I think they are from the R1 or whatever. It's a Hilux hood, but I had to lengthen it to fit correctly.




I'm starting to like where this is headed. I had my doubts at first. I swapped the plastic beadlock rings out for some washers. They added an extra 2.4oz to each wheel.

The front end took some long hours of head scratching, but I think it looks pretty cool now. I tried to follow the lines of the cage underneath to make the fender cut out work. In order to do that I had to extend the fenders themselves.

I think I need to add a tailgate handle since I eliminated the side latches.

The toyota panels make it look low and sleek.
