That sounds like an awsome project.

have heard you can get a hilux to be competitive, pretty cheaply!






but nothing springs to mind

I guess it all depends on how you plan on going on with it,

but my idea would be,

buy the 90 model hilux with 2.8 etc in it, look hard and buy well.

then if the dollars allow do a coil instead, you are changing about the same amount of stuff.

My theory is though with cars pay a little bit more and get a lot more.

By the time you buy all the bits you need and change all the stuff you might already have purchased a running 90's hilux.

Just my 2c worth.

Sounds like a lot of fun though.

we 've all ready used a wrecked 90 model for the motor and other gear, for robs rig!

its been done before..

are you going to comp it how about the lexus quad cam v8

well you see

i've already got the 85 model X-tra cab

i've already got a written off 90 model with a rebuilt 2.8

i've already got the cruiser diffs with the 6.1's

i've already got the 37" MTR's

all i need is the 4Runner chassis

i just wanna do somethin a bit different.......again

yeah i do wanna go in some comps

but mainly its just so i can get out every weekend in a very capable rig and have some fun

but yes comps are a definate

hey Elmo,
How would ya go with having the wheels sticking way past the sides when you've dovetailed it?

Keep us posted, looks interesting!

Benno

yeah they'll be WAAYYY out, joys of conveyor belt i suppose, at least i hope that'll work

Is this gonna be a trailer queen. Why I ask is cause with 6.1 wont going back to road sized tyres suck. I also didnt think eliptics were registerable.

And busiboy how is a "running 90s hilux" comparable in off-road capability to this project once its finished??? I don't particularly see the point in paying more for a later model then butchering it so it ends up the same as if youd started with an earlier one. Most of the shit gets busted and replaced whether its newer or older anyway doing the shit these guys do. lol.

ADD: Mmmmmm looked at that tapered dodge. Looks bloody nice. Be interesting to see how yours turns out.

You have too much time on your hands then

Really if its all there already and you have da skillz then do it Its good to be different sometimes. Will you run the 37's on road though May be a small nightmare to do all this with transport approval but if that's not an issue then enjoy

hybred, elmo bought the 90 for a very good price complete...... he wouldn't be doing this other wise , so ROB when is this happening biatch...... those floor pans anr't going to get fixed sitting their
