I really like this rig. Very clean and stock looking to the untrained eye. Im hoping my 45 turns out very similar.

With skills like yours you need a constant challenge. Stop wishing and start building. I saw the gq you had, forget about the gq cab and slap a toyota cab on it. Nissan have the balls but toyota have the looks.

I reckon a 70 series extra cab and short tray.

It was the shiz though, the 47...

it was built once with toyota parts but was to narrow and to high so it it had a little sleep.
gq diffs were the shiz back then

Ahh i love my truck it's a work of art and thrilling to drive

should also mention air lockers front and rear , trianglated rear link ,daul batt built into custom tray, petrol tank moved to rear of the tray and the hrs of steel fab. The only things i've added is took the stock airbox out and replaced with pod filter snorkle set up. I put this truck to the test something chronic most weekends and it eat's up what ever i dish out it's been amazing how big and hard it can go and still does'nt break YET.

My mate has also got a 45 with the chevy 6.2 diesel, 60 series running gear 38'' swampers locked front and rear and big winch, it sits a few inch higher than mine but is leaf sprung.
