Engine bay is going gloss black, once the rest of the paint hardens I'll mask it off and prime/paint it.

[ajh]

What happened to the desert sand yellow?

[CJY91LUXXY]

Wanted the same price for flat sand as Gloss white, if i was going to pay the same I'd rather it look neat in White than flat

[CJY91LUXXY]

So ive got the front end painted and sitting on, Chassis getting done atm so while its gone i started on the cut down doors, I need to bring some gas home for the mig to cap them off but ive got them cut to the shape i want. Also got the interior completely clean and fitted a set of fixed back buckets. I have a deep didh steering wheel and quick release hub to fit too.

Pics as always

Yeah had to get one when i seen it, Its a new design it tapers along the top spose to be stronger.

2 months if i plan to have it driving at hilux meet haha.. I cant see it happening anymore. My Elsistment day for Army Reserve is tomorrow so im going to be pretty busy in the next few months.

This thing is going to be sooooo nice!! But naive but is the cut down doors for being able to see obstacles better? And it's going to be all registered? Engineered?

[CJY91LUXXY]

Yeah pretty much just let's you hang out a bit and see a lot better. Looks sick too haha. Nah it's just going to be trailered to and from the trails. I like my licence too much haha.

Windows neats being fitted, guessing only for comps when needed?
Some tube bar following the lines where you cut the doors would look sick too

Great work man, when you finished your project send all your motivation down my way hey

[D4D luxy]

Yea sick it does look unreal!! So wats the deal with wheeling it then? Is it the same rules that apply to motocross bikes as in u can't ride unregistered bikes around state forest/national park?

[54SED]

There are only a few 4x4 parks that allow unregistered rigs, mainly due to the insurance the parks can't afford it. The Springs have just recently allowed it. I do not know of any other park or place though. Most parks let them in for comps as the comps insurance covers them.

Other than that all the local places we wheel even registered rigs can't legally be there.

[Hilux Max]

Thats a PITA the whole insurance fiasco.

I still think there should be Recreational registration for trailer queens to be towed to a state forest/Park anywhere to wheel there and only there and then towed home.

as long as headlights, tail lights, seat belts, the usual basics all work, then you should be covered for 3rd party "accidents" and just in case moments.

Looking good man. I hope there is a stubby holder in those doors

[CJY91LUXXY]

So chassis has been Blasted/Coated and ive got the Front end in and bolted up. The rest of the hubs will be on soon just bought new discs etc and also 40mm wheel spacers all round. Started to cap the half doors. Just waiting on rear U bolt flip to show up and the chassis will be rolling and then ill drop the engine/box in





Will post more pics soon.

Far out man that is clean.

When is it due for the debut run?

[CJY91LUXXY]

Cheers Mate, Height wise I don't really know. I'm running the original pack out of the rear mixed with some of the original front springs mixed in. That and a 2" drop hanger so maybe 3" over stock in the front and running current hilux rear springs with 8" shackles in the rear so maybe 2" in the rear. Hopefully not too high.

Don't actually have an idea of a time frame. Just working on it whenever I can at the moment.

[CJY91LUXXY]

Its on its wheels!!

[rayy]

Top effort mate. It looks nutts
