Yeah no problem. I thought it was a cool little tool. I didn’t end up using it but I’m sure I will for something.

Because I’m jealous of my wife’s rig, scale truck build

Thanks for posting pics. Howeverz, I'm disappointed that it's, also, not a really a true scale or good iteration of a chassis for that body, so for ME, thats a bummer again! Definitely looks durable, and less Wal-Mart grade though!!!! Should last as long as scx10ish. I may, actually, I am going to just buy the chassis for the 1/9 Toyota LC80 (I have that, too) and see if it would fit under this with a slight stretch or so......... has radius arms up front.
*Edit: bed looks awesome
I'm not sure if I'm after this, "stolen image of someone's bed". lol but this looks sweet imho
I do agree with it not being scale to the body. It has to be durable with all the aluminum, steel mixed into the chassis parts. It does feel very stout, without being super heavy.
I do plan on doing rear leafs to at least give it some scale realism. Good thing about the brx01 and 02, they sell conversions for both and they just bolt right on.
I don’t think so. It’s looks like it’s a pretty straight forward swap. I “think” you can also just order the brx02 kit and one of them comes full leaf. The Land Rover or something.
They also sell the leaf complete kit and it’s all bolt on. The frame has notches in it to mount the perches for the shackles.
Started on the body again tonight.
I had the worst time trying to get the roll up doors to fit. The “hinge” part would not line up. Door shut, had an 1/8” gap. Door wouldn’t even shut unless I took the hinge part off. Doors seem to be warped as well, the top of the door was “open” while the bottom was not. I gave up. I took no pictures of the issues, but for a few minutes it almost went in the trash. Killerbody stuff is just not very good quality, vs tf2 bodies. Maybe it’s my big ass hands. Who knows but I’m ordering new doors and they won’t open. I’d fix the ones I have if the door cards weren’t glued into the door itself.
I somehow lost a piece to the snorkel at the top too.
Next step is to cut the front gray bumper to fit the arb, I’ll work on that tomorrow.
Got word that my new bed is already in the states! That’s quick considering I ordered it last Friday.
Here’s how it sits now

Searched the web for just the cab and door parts tree, everywhere is sold out! So, I just went back to where I got the body from originally, Amain, and order a whole new body kit just to use the doors. I’m not going to use the roll up windows, while super cool, the fit is not good. Don’t even feel like messing with it. I’m trying to get the truck ready for an event at the end of June. I’ll just bolt the doors on like normal and do the interior (if that even fits right).
Also, after Amain had the return for 2 days (killerbody mercury chassis) I finally got word they opened the box and found my nsdrc servo. They said they will just ship it back to me, that’s pretty awesome. I was more than willing to just have it refunded and I’d buy it again. I was just figuring the worst, the box goes back in inventory and someone who bought that kit would get a free $60 servo lol
New cchand bed should be here in a few days and I can get the cab and bed mounted.
The more I think about it, I may just give the extra body and parts to my son, he can then paint it and make it his own. He’s got the Toyota love like I do, even though they’ve been the most unreliable vehicle I’ve owned in real life
I do want to get the opening hood kit for the body, but I don’t see any engine bays for the lc70 anywhere..
