Oof. Life gets in the way. It's been a long time. I have made some slow progress on this. Got some detailing done on the interior... RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Hilux Build by johnny anguish, on Flickr RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Hilux Build by johnny anguish, on Flickr |

| Re: Johnny builds a Toyota Hilux. Thanks. I should have weighed it before I glued in the driver figure. That would have been a bit more helpful The driver is the ubiquitous Tamiya Guy that's been trimmed up just a bit to fit. I'll post some pics as soon as I get a chance. |

Well...I can say, anyone previously posting in here that they're the "last to jump on the TF2 bandwagon", you're not the last. I ordered my kit this evening...although, I've chosen to go the 4dr route. As much as I like the Yota body (and I really, REALLY do like it), I figured, since the LWB chassis has a 313mm wheelbase, should I ever get tires of the body, there's a huge selection of 313mm bodies...not that I think I'll ever want to actually change the body. ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

It took three attempts (paint, strip, paint, strip, paint again) but I'm finally happy (enough) with the detailing of the tail light lenses. That was... fun?!?! RC4WD Trail Finder 2 Hilux Build by johnny anguish, on Flickr Not like I won't try other wheels/tires on this build at some point, but I wanted something pretty stock looking to start. Some RC4WD Vintage Yota wheels (LockedUp RC acorns, of course) and little Falken Wildpeak A/T3W should do nicely. I'll throw some SSD scale hubs on there, too.

I just checked out your page great info on the different sizes and compounds of tires. Thanks Also your truck is coming along very nicely.

Thanks. I built that tire finder because I wanted it for myself. I'm glad a few other people find it useful, too. | |

Well, it took a year (a year in which I built 3 other rigs after I started this one) to "finish" this tiny truck, mainly because I didn't want to screw it up too badly. In the end, I think it came out pretty OK. The first scratch on this one is really going to smart.
