Obijuan's ol' red Yota lux 10/21 100% more OG drop bed

[1BadJeepBruiser]

When I saw Matt tossed up his 1.5 Yota I worked a deal with him to obtain it...I dont have a full bodied lux that isnt in the middle of a complete build up or doesnt have a bob'd (Ie my blue lux). It showed up today and I tore into doing a couple of small things. I swapped the rear leafs out for some OG chino modded Bruisers and swapped the fronts for some Chino leafs and mounted the center pin to the most rear hole to push the front axle forward an 1/8 inch or so. Swapped out the drag link for a stock tlt one and mounted it above the leafs for a hi-steer look. I flat blacked the hood and drilled some holes in the bed and installed my MoCrawler canback :mrgreen:

Specs:
Bruiser chassis
Bruiser/chino leaf combo with chino mod
Rummafied Bruiser axles
RC4WD 1.5 wagon wheels and TSL with matched bed mounted spare
New Gen Hilux body with OG glass and interior
MoCrawler canback
TLT left overs shock mod
Custom rear shackles
CadtoChrome hubs
Marlin Crawler stickers...adds 15hp

Stupid saggy Toyotas


Flexes it out real nicely

Plans:
Add randomly found r2 trans in basement
install 45 turn motor into randomly found r2
Installed sprektrum receiver
Make new sliders (broke the ones that were on there)
Rear bumper
Add some lights and other small details
And then...

Drive it like I stole it :twisted:

Nice, I was tempted by this one. It looks a LOT cleaner now.

Matt cleaned all the mud off which saved 3lbs and in return cost him 10$ less for shipping...



































Ok not really but sounded good right :mrgreen:

Took some for you Pat

High Steer knuckles (wish I knew the make, have another set too, favorite tlt knuckles)

2 Holes in the front cross member

Axial servo post in the back

He has an extender off of the aluminum horn but I am going to flip the servo around so i can get rid of that and take some of the strain off of the servo
