Awesome

 

That beast looks great. I love seeing modified Toyotas from other parts of the world.

 

You have some great skills. I liked seeing how you covered the back of the runner. Great Job!!! Looking forward to your build and welcome to Yotatech.

 

I have to say you have some genius and creativity under your hood, also guts i have to say it looks perfect! damn!

Congratulations on that Toyota you have done really good

 

Great work man. That crossmember came out really nice .

 

i Got one question buddy on the grill how did you manage to glue or mount the metal grill to the plastic front ??

 

Followed your build over on t4r.org. Great work as always~!

 

Wow you made some quick work of those little projects.

I love the way you made the cross member. I would have never thought to use the bender that way. I have the same one in the shop. Any pics from the underside showing from a different angle.

 

Thanks for the comments fellas! I am just hacking away, no artist, and the pics don't show the amount I have messed up along the way! Sorry for delay in replies as well, most of my employment is overseas so I tend to drop out for a month or so occasionally.

The cross member did come out good! It was a fair amount of messing around and in materials way cheaper than from a shop....add the time I spent on it then probably not but I like to try and do stuff myself if I can.

I scored it across first with the grinder then notched out a bit of scrap bar to fit on the top of the bender jack.



If your going to do this, make sure you use a decent thickness of bar, the one I used bent during the bending, didn't affect anything but next time I will use a stronger bit..

When it was all the right shape I ran a few beads of weld back through the score troughs to finish, then paint.



The grille is held on with epoxied cut down threaded bar, then washers and nuts to suit...





Just starting work on the suspension now which is seeming to be more complicated than it should be!

Cheers

 

Glad I clicked on this one.

 

Subscribed for sure.... Dimensions on the cross member?

 

Freakin. Awesome.

 

The 4Runner went from man to oh man. Love it

 

Nice work on your truck!I like the right hand drive!Keep up the nice quality work!
