Default How come i don't see hi lux builds?

I have looked around and i have only found mountaineer and bruiser builds, i know the hi lux was a little different, but i still have to find a hi lux restoration thread, or maybe i didn't look hard enough

That definitely could be part of the issue, while a nice bruiser will run you 500-700 a nice hilux is usually 700-900. Also the parts are a lil different and harder to come by. The cool working front hubs over time stop engagingly correctly because the metal insert inside rounds out under hard use, also the knuckles are weaker. They are overall harder to come by too.

Terrible ones was a really nice as well as Chino63s hilux.

Unfortunately probably going to sell it. I had planned to keep it and crawl it in the 1,9 class, but I need a 1:1, so it will probably be in the classified section soon.

Nope, those are polished blazing blazer rims. They are quite a bit wider then hilux rims.
