Thanks man! The top of the cage is bent down, then screwed in from underneath. Ya the TRD stickers add a nice touch to it, I will need to get some more made as I had to take those ones off, when I had to rebuild the bed sides.

I really appeciate your comments thank you!

EDIT: Corrected vendor as per OP. IIRC those are done by user LockedUp here on RCC....

I'll give it a bath and get some better pics, I completely rebuilt an interior and threw it in as well. I sold my last on to one of the locals, and got his as part of the deal.

I'll post up some vids! They are a RIOT!!

Haha thanks man!! It is actually black primer It sure does make it look meaner I think.

Ya the wheels are nice, if you ever get some vanquish stars (rock stars) i'll trade you!! I am thinking about changing wheels.

It does yes. But it has never bothered me, or caused any kind of problems. I just cant get full compression if I was to hit a jump or something. but I still get full travel when flexing

I finally went brushless!!

MMP
Tekin Pro4 3300
upgraded trans gears
MIP driveshafts
epoxied the lockers in the diffs

Not sure how well the dogbones are going to hold up...mostly waiting for the LHS to get in the universals.

I'm diggin all the fresh tweaks COCO.

I'm pretty sure the LHS has had those universals in stock the last couple times I saw you there, so I'm not sure what your waiting on now.

I like it much better with the doors.
Did you try a v cut first or just go straight for the slant cut?

With the way I mounted the front fenders, the body lines were way off, so rather than a really goofy looking door where the BL's didnt line up, I decided to just go with the slant cut. Not as noticable, and still good looking
