Cool Here is my updated Truck.

I posted pictures of my first design of this truck, and I recieved mixed reviews. So now I am posting a completed customers truck to see if you guys think it look any better. This truck is designed to be a trail truck not a rock crawler. Please give my your feed back. good or bad. Thanks

My client wanted the seats set that high, the seats come out very easy with 2 screws on each seat. The seats are intended to be more for emergency than anything else.

Motor wise?? its a 22RE, stock with a header. Runs along really well.

Thanks for all the positive comments. I was thinking Jurassic Park also when I saw it Completed. Its going to run out in the jungle, So it should fit right in.

I can really appreciate all the fab-work that went into that. Lots of custom stuff, and difficult tubing bends.

But, Aesthetically, it does nothing for me what so ever. Why is it still IFS?

This truck is IFS for a softer ride. It does not ahve to take the abuse of a rock crawler

I like it...

I wouldn't buy it, but I really like it.

You need rollover protection and harnesses for the rear seats though.

I love it! Custom work is always great, and yes I would buy it. This is not the most receptive forum, although from what I understand it is supposed to be for any type of Toyota enthusiast, the Crawlers seem to have taken it over So you wont get the best reception. Great work dude, right now I just want to go big with my 4runner(14-20 inches of total lift not including tires) and right now I am planning on 39.5 tires but later I plan on moving up to bigger ones , but later I may decided to do a super custom body like that once I get a new car for a daily driver.

What are the specs?

Lockers, gearing, suspension mods, tranny...

Did you build it off a Toyota frame? If so, which one? Did you start with an entire vehicle and then widdle it away?

Wheelbase looks like a bug did you cut and weld a yota frame down???? kind cool looking since its not something you don't see everyday I kinda like it it kinda grows on ya after looking at it for a few mins. I too would be interested in the specs like is it locked front and / or rear , gearing that sort of stuff. Going south. I guess you mean like south American??? to the mining areas for touring the area??? or for conservationalists to run Thur the jungle and keep track of the logging and depletion of the area???
