ebay, car point actions.
Then you have swap meets maybe the 4wd seller mags.
most stuff will be hot rods though.
Another way would be buy a real cheap wreaked hilux or cheap hilux action then you';d have the lot a smashed body won't matter if your notgoing to use it.
Is this for a rep hummer or something?

i wanna use the body.. no rep hummer, wanna truck that i can use for social wheeling, trips away and the occasional entry level comp.

yea , im thinking if i can just get one without an engine an gearbox, itll be heaps cheaper than buying an already working one.
plan? boosted 1kzte, 34 x 10 ish rubber, engineered, simple tray and barwork to keep it as light as possible. the rest will be decided as i go, but the general idea is to build it so that i can compete in entry level comps.
