Default Trail Finder 2 Flatbed (WRECKER)

Just picked up a Tamiya hilux body. Going to build a flat bed on the trail finder 2 chassis.

This looks like it'll be a very fun rig when you're done! Btw the rear shackles are backwards.

I've always wanted to build something like that, I'd run with the idea and see where it ends up .

Got the led holder and gas filler tube braised in. I used steel crimp connectors for this gob.

Looks excellent, Love the bed and wood floor. Looks like the tamiya and RC4WD body parts play well together.
