1.9 SAS Toyota 4Runner
On Monday night, I was down in the basement web wheeling and had nothing that I could work on...I know...sounds crazy. XJ needs paint work and its to damn cold, had no styrene for the Sammy interior. Atomic Toy....need to figure out rear shock mounts, and just wasnt in the mood. So I decided to whip together this truck. Had the body for well over a year now, probably almost two, and I have had two spare Bruiser frames just chillin.
Specs so far are: Kyosho 4Runner body Power coated Bruiser chassis Bruiser leafs, chino modded Dinky leaf mounts CAC NBL 2.0 BAMF wheels Pro-Line 1.9 flat irons RCP Crawlers chino skid Traxxas 4 links MSD powder coated axle truss TLT axles w/bearings, Fat Rock Cs, high rise clearance black knuckles, RC4WD straight axle adapters RC4WD 90mm scale coil overs Juggsterr rear shock mount wideners on front Have: hitec 645 servo Integy 45 turn lathe built good to go Pede trans Juggsterr front shock mounts turned down tlt shocks shock boots Need: Hub wheel but covers ESC small tamiya body mount clips Harris safety silv 56 (on order) Lexan front rotors To do: Inner fender wells finish rear drum brakes Strip chrome off mirrors, rear bumper, front bumper Chop front bumper Build simple prerunner bar Build Rock sliders install front shocks and mounts Install electronics Run it.... Next to the OG SAS 4runner |

nice use for the old kyosho body and very scale looking compared to the other 4runner in the last pic. i like the fact that it is on the bruiser chassis and is a Toyota. does nobody read anymore the wheel and body are listed on the spec sheet on the top of the page

Nice scrapes build BoyBand. I really like the look of it, but those body posts sticking out KILL IT. Wheels are big pimpin' though.
Oh and who did you have to suck off to get those Proline 1.9 Flat Irons already? |

I like the wheels as far as the body mounts go, the holes were already there...not much I could do about that. The ones in the hood wont be so noticeable once the flat black gets laid on it I did no such sucking off...it was all in the pre-order from RPP...They are sweet, wish I had ordered more. Thanks for all the positive feedback guys |

I was bored yesterday but it was cold, so I thought about working on the sammy but I really wanted to try and get the 4runner going. So I headed out into the garage and stole the propane tank from the barbecue for the heater and fired it up.
2 hours later, rock sliders were built I also stripped the chrome off the mirrors and and flat blacked the hood I went to the hobby shop to get screws needed to mount the pede trans but they didnt have any so getting it running didnt quite work out. Ill order the screws this week and try again next weekend. Thanks for looking Mike |
