Toyota Pickup build

[doubleu8]

its nice to see minis still. keep it up

[Japansie]

sorry all, I've been out of internetz.

I plan on updating more soon.
and as for the wheels and tires, the owner is going to pick up some Torque Thrust II's because he is also a hot-rod fan. I know what your thinking, but those wheels actually look good on this truck.

Damn I missed this one somehow. Looks sick! I was going to bag mine until I decided to do my motor swap. Now irs and coilovers are on the list instead.

You should still bag it, just use strut bags. If you plan on racing it you'll have better height adjustability then struts, and WAY better handling.

sorry for no updates people. shops been hectic I guess.
Got the engine mounted and everything though.
Will post pics soon, then I'll start on the rest of the cab sheet metal work.

that was a cool one.. nice work dude.. i want to enhance my truck.. so i was looking for the toyota truck parts. where did you buy yours?

All the bags, tanks, fittings, valves, and switches were bought directly through Universal Air.
Everything else is custom one-off.
