Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Hey Toz, I was just wondering where you find that black 4ft flexible corrugated drain pipe at. I've been looking everywhere and just can't find that large of pipe!:lmao: I kid, I kid:mrgreen: seriously though I saw this beast in da classifieds and hope whomever gets it keeps the thread or a new one going. Awesome truck, awesome price! I appreciate the ideas I've gotten from you and it. Hope you can start something else cool after the big un gets its lovin! Thanks "thumbsup"

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

We get that stuff made reeeeal special ;)

Looks like I'm going to hang onto the beasty :) Santa came early with some new Blizzaks for the WRX:mrgreen:

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Glad to hear it but can't believe someone didn't jerk your arm off with all you got in that truck. I think everyone is tight on cash with the holidays coming. If I didn't already have one I would buy it, I wanted too anyway but I don't think rc4wd sales a full size house for me to move to when my wife divorces me for buying another one. Lol. Seriously I come home at lunch to check the mail for parts so she doesn't see em when she comes home... :oops: ohh well time to get her something big for Christmas ! As Ron White says " Diamonds, that'll shut her up" :lmao:

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Love the truck looks great with the Mt claws. Too bad i didnt see it in the classified id have been too tempted to buy it, would look nice with all my other RJ creations. LOL

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

WOW, if I had seen that I absolutely would have grabbed it. Bad as Yota built by a fellow New Englander, and done quite well might I add. Nice truck, if you ever want to sell the blue body, I may be interested "thumbsup" Video was great too.

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Thanks :)
The blue body is gone...but speaking of bodies, I was cleaning up one of my Croc Hunter bodies as I was thinking of posting it up for sale...then I got to fiddling with it...hmmm, if I removed the tf2 rear bumper and built an extended bed....

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

why not incorporate the bumper into the bed.

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

That looks like its going to work RJ. Do it man!

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Not sure I'll do much with it.

It's a cool body but I'm not sure I want to get going on yet another body. I'm eyeballs deep on a TTC Jeep for Brandon, an F350 Quad Cab for a friend, and a JK for another bud. I would LOVE to try some sort of green Hilux though. These were my favorite rigs as a kid, second only to the Jeep Scramblers. Also, I have it on the DL that Santa is dropping off a Dinky RC Woodsman trailer at the Clayton house in a week or so:mrgreen: That will be getting a straight axle and some leaf springs no doubt :)

I just layed down some satin finish Khaki paint on the cab. I may just put it back together with the interior and roof and pop it up onto the FS or Trade section along with a spare FX-R I have hanging around.

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Oh you have had it for about a month. Your usual sell time :flipoff:. Still want the trade of the Stompers for the Claws? If Brandon gets a TTC rig together he has to come to the spring TTC. Now that I have done 3 TTC's I am getting a pretty good idea what works for them and what doesn't. Hence the TTC only rig. What works for most wheeling may not do well overall in the TTC. It is by far the best time the club has on its runs during the year. So many smiles throughout the day and such a good time. "thumbsup"

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Im waiting on him to finish my TTC truck :mrgreen:. I was hoping i could make it to the ttc in november but i didnt have time.

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Its crazy at the TTC. Make sure it is verrrry waterproof. Bring extra motors as they are the biggest failure item due to the mud. Have a strong servo winch if you want to finish in the top 5. Kick Jeff, Mike and Tims rigs when u get a chance to disable them. :lmao: . Have a great time, it always is. Next one should be in April or May.

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Pretty stoked about my Christmas present arriving tomorrow :)

Re: '83 Toyota 4x4 SR5
 

Well seeing as how you will probably sell the TF2, you could hitch it up to Duncan! :lmao: . You should keep the TF2. You know a few months ago you had seller regret and had to get TF2 #2. It will only happen again. I say keep it and save up for an Axial, maybe the new JK version (so sexy). Knock the TF2 back to class 1 with 4.19 or so tires, etc. Use the Axial for beat on runs. Save the TF2 for the fun scale rides, beach etc. Cripes I would probably sell one of mine. I don't need 4...lol!

It would be one of these two. Cherokee has HB cms, Hitec 645, XL-5 speedo with 27 turn motor, MIP drive shafts, all metal links, steel trans outputs, 4 link rear, CAC delrin bead locks with 1.9 Boggers :) Spektrum receiver Aluminum axle C's and knuckles.

Hilux, it about the same other then no CMS. 4link front and rear with Axial 4 link servo plate. Gearhead delrin bead locks with 1.9 Rock Beasts. Knuckles are high steer. 35 turn motor.
