Where on earth do you find R/c toyotas? And with all that replica stuff?? Iv never seen anything like that anywhere.

 

execellent work man.

 

Excellent truck, very impressive! And your build went pretty fast, too!

 

Awesome, simply awesome. I am amazed what talented folk can do with tools.

Your photo skills are pretty good, too. Nice job!!

The RC Toyotas are available, Tamiya makes the Hilux. RC4WD makes a 2nd gen runner body.

A lot of the replica pieces are hand crafted or made by various vendors on RCCrawler.com/forum

Thanks dude

Yeah its coming along well, I just ordered my marlin rear bumper today.

Thanks, I try with the camera, I would like upgrade from my digital SLR I have now but I spent all my money on the runner.

 

Marlin rear bumper installed









Got a set of mint doors from an 88 off craigslist for 75$ Half doors soon!


Doorless!

 

that's awesome....you have to do a before and after pic from when you got it.

did you say you were going to Rausch or did you go already?

 

heading there saturday! leaving the island at 5

I gotta get a good out door shot and then a post an original before and after.

 

seeing this rig first hand I must say very well built. How I missed this tread till now is beyond me. Thank you to 92Toy for pointing it out.

 

no prob bud....I knew 1badtoy was going , i thought you guys were all together on this....sorry i should have mentioned it.

 

That is a great compliment, thank you!

went to Raush Creak this weekend, it was AWESOME! I will admit saturday I was pretty skeptical of a lot of things. Everyone kept telling me how the truck was walking the trails no problem but I was having a hard time getting a feel for it...but by sunday I was feeling better about it and was running some pretty killer black trails :mrgreen: Here are some pics from the shake down run







We had to do a trail side repair on our buddies Jeep, he snapped the shaft and ripped the ball joints out. My stepdad hit the part store up with my friend Bryan and got all the parts and had it fixed in about 2 hours total





It was a good thing I unloaded half my tool box from work into the runner, we used just about every tool I bought at some point during the weekend



some mudding








At the end of the day we were heading towards rock creak and the runner puked a seal on the P/S box :sad: I was kinda bummed but hey happens right? We pulled the belt off and headed out the emergency exit and back to the hotel.. When we got back we figured out where it was leaking from and went to work to try and fix it





the washer/seal on top of the box were the adjuster for the worm drive is self destructed...it wasnt looking good to obtain one so out came the Toyota FIPG sealant and we smeared on there and hope for the best. The next morning I dumped in some P/S fluid with stop leak and fired it up..NO LEAKS :mrgreen:

Back out to Raush

found an RTI ramp and decided to see what the runner could do







Not to bad for 3" springs and untrimmed bump stops :mrgreen:

running a black trail






This was actually a pretty serious climb, although it doesnt look like dick in the pics...the jeeps went down, so naturally the Toyota had to go up it :mrgreen:

Messing around on the comp course




Was an awesome trip, truck did really well I thought



I can't wait to go back, hopefully with in the next few weeks we will plan another trip.

I will say the the next to things that will be done on the runner is a 4.7:1 kit and a cage.

Thanks for looking

Great thread.

Indeed dude, I under estimated it a lot on saturday but was starting to get a good feel for it on sunday.

Nope, no rattles, fits tight and the bumper actually will protect it...didnt really plan to have it this way but it worked out so Im not going to complain

its an Iron Horse Azure, I used to work for K2 and Iron Horse as a tech support warranty dude. I have been to MOAB, greatest place EVER



was there for the 2007 USRCCA nationals...I competed against the best drivers in the country and whooped half of them!
