You can buy them from anyone that sells tamiya replacement parts since that are available separate. Rc4wd also sells a very similar version.

The Mojave hilux body comes available in 3 different kit forms... Yellow Primer (yellow) White the cost to purchase those start at around $ 100. and goes up progressively to $ 110. for the white styrene. ^ well... last I checked. The only real differences between the Mojave and Tamiya Hi-Lux is... Cost = (the Tamiya will cost nearly double to that of the Mojave) Licensing = (Tamiya has auth./Lic... the RC4WD Mojave does not) "TOYOTA" embossed tailgate = (Hilux/yes - Mojave/no) Drop bed = (Hi-Lux/no - Mojave/yes) Headlamp Assembly = (Hi-Lux round lamps - Mojave square lamps) Interestingly... both bodies can share/swap parts. ie: Don't like the square headlamps on the Mojave !? The Tamiya Hi-Lux grille can be swapped in. (or visa/versa) I have the Mojave body. I prefer the Mojave's drop bed... over the Tamiya Hi-Lux's tail gate molding. and the Mojave's lower buy in. |

oops... forgot to comment about options  The Mojave kit comes with two options regarding the cab's rear firewall and window. partial = (w window flush to bedrail - cab bolted to bed) full = (w window + full coverage rear cab wall) this option allows the cab to be mounted independently with or without mounting the bed. a big plus if mounting to a tuber not saying you can't scratch build one for the Tamiya Hi-lux body... Many have... and with amazing results. But all said... the RC4WD Mojave body kit offers more options... and did I say costs less !? If it were critical to display the mfgr's namesake... I think one could adhere some styrene pieces correctly to spell out TOYOTA or just slap on some vinyl stickers and call it a day  ^ RC4WD sells those too !
