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. I'll be watching this one! |

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 Goodies Early stages. The front is getting reworked. |

Great start. It's nice to finally click on a wraith thread & not see pics straight from the box. |

Noob, can I just come over to your house and hang out? I mean seriously, it's like you just make crap for me to be jealous of and covet over. I can't wait to see where this goes........ |

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. | ||
