This was a slump buster. I took a Tamiya kit of the Morris Mini Cooper and put a Hassagawa Aoshima lift kit on it, turning it into a truck. I also used the Tamiya Renault Alpine dash. There are many scratch built items on this including the GPS and the roll bar. And if this wasn't crazy enough, I added a Jaguar XJ 220 V6! I'm eventually going to scratch build a winch for the front bumper. The idea was to finish it in a week....which I did.

NICE!!!! The tires and rims get me, what those from? (I need a set of Super Swamper 44's.) ERRRR SO. I'm looking at my choices and alternatives!

THANX, GUYS!, sorry, I was wrong about where the wheels/tires came from in the description. I have the directions right here, and I got them, as well as the suspension parts from Aoshima kits, NOT HASEGAWA!   -John, the kits are:the High Rider US Toyota 4WD Double Cab Truck, and the High Rider Hilux Surf Wide kits.  hope this helps!
