Look forward to the finishing touches......

Thank you. Now I just have to figure out how to shrink myself down to ride in it and test the seats.

Name your price and I'll paint it red for ya

Backseat

The rear windows will be tinted slightly to hide my un-scale wheel wells, wires and lack of rear interior panels.

My favorite part, making accessories. All from scratch.

WOW

Incredible work! The body looks great...then you went ahead and fully detailed everything. Great job down to the smallest detail. Padded seats with seat belts, complete dash with defrost ducting below! I could go on and on

I really like the fender flares too, any tips on how you built those?

Great work!

51WillysJeep · 06-22-2010, 10:34 AM

Wow Rich , the scale touches you've built for this rig really put it above the top..!!

Truly a Masterpiece..!! ( now go out and wheel' the hell out of it, and bring back the pics to show us all..!! LOL

).

Thank you! Much appreciated. The fender flares were made by SDI.

Thanks buddy. I'm going mad waiting to drive this thing, but I told myself from the beginning I won't take it out until it's completely finished. Hopefully by the end of this week I'll have some real offroading pictures/video.

Who stole my shift knob?

pardonmyn00b · 06-23-2010, 09:37 AM

The first drive was a success. I love the way this thing drives! Thanks for all the kind words along the way.

Hope you like pictures

Video in the works!

cartronicshn · 06-23-2010, 10:06 AM

Barticusrex · 06-23-2010, 10:46 AM

TwistedXT · 06-23-2010, 11:22 AM

clean! i like it! Nice work!

vipxj · 06-23-2010, 12:56 PM

Totaly amazing! Just love the detail you;ve put into the toyota,just over the top build.
I hope its going to be your quite sunday drive rig,cause its going to hurt big time, the first time you scratch it.

Well done on a epic build,and you;ve set the bar a few notchs higher for sure.

Wow, thank you! Yep this is going to the family wagon for camping trips. If a rock or two gets in the way it's nice to know it has the ability to climb over it.

I came about 1mm from scratching it while shooting video. It was a tense moment for sure. No contact with the rock believe it or not.

Well, since I added another member to the Toyota family I had to take a new group photo.

Bikes. Trucks. What else is there?

1BadJeepBruiser · 06-24-2010, 04:58 PM

the missing shift knob is awesome, and the bikes and rack look great

mato_h · 06-24-2010, 09:46 PM

AMAZING

OGmicromonster · 06-25-2010, 01:13 AM

I don't think it's scale enough.

J/K this thing looks sick! Awesome build and skills.

vipxj · 06-25-2010, 01:10 PM

What lights are you referring to? It has many lights, but most of the lenses are from the Tamiya Hilux kit

Well, the Toyota family will grow larger if that's any clue

That's all I'm willing to say at this point.
