Flares look good mate, good to see something different than the normal colour coding.

Haha will do, I'll just have to remember to go easy on the beers until it's done, once I get a few in me productivity tends to fall away pretty quick

Matt from monster Rides sent them to me for nothing as a temporary thing until they sort out some new flared guards they're trialling. But I might just leave them as is

just got a couple of teaser pics of my tray from my mate

Hey buddy your truck is coming along very nicely indeed! I'm in the process of figuring out which lockers to get but I was wondering how much you were charged to get your e lockers and ratios installed roughly? Gotta work out how the bank account is going to be under attack!

Yeah that's what I have figured so far. Thanks anyway mate. Pumped to see your tray finished!

Holy sh#tballs... This is a epic build Shaun!
Just had a read through this thread and this is one capable and practical Hilux you are building.
Looking really good... Love to see a bloke taking the time to do all the little things and do them right.
Congratulations Mate... Looking forward to seeing this thing finished and out on the tracks.

Cheers,
Matt

cheers mate i used 8mm x 50mm plate welded at a right angle with a gusset on one side

cheers

I went out today and got some quotes to get my canopy part covered, it came in at $1200 for ripstop vinyl or 1350 for canvas, does this seem about right? That's zip up sides and windows in the front and back.
What's peoples opinions on canvas be vinyl? I think canvas will look better but vinyl might be more durable/easy to clean

I paid 750 for mine fair bit bigger too. Pvc 3 zip both side 2 on back windows and flyscreen for the dog. Mate fantastic job on the build looks insane. Hows the money tree?
