jbwelda Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 those are nice trucks. what color are you going to paint it? i wish someone would make a FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser!
Nick F40 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Well, I have to comment about these, I love Toyota trucks and especially the HiLux, I want one SOOO BAD. My dad had a 79 and I wish he still had it. Gotta love them, you can't hurt them those are nice trucks. what color are you going to paint it? i wish someone would make a FJ60 Toyota Land Cruiser! yeah no kidding!
jbwelda Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 >ORANGE WITH LOTS OF PEARL ah, kind of subtle then! but its gonna get scratched up on all that manzanita out on the trail! nice work man, i want to see it done.
evilone Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 i have the lowered 2 door helux that im gonna build for the minitruckin buildoff thats gonna go down.Im gonna get the4 door body for it.BTW how much longer is the frame and interior tub on the hilux compared to the hilux?
B-dub Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 I have this same kit I'm working on but I can't decide if I want to use the chrome suspension or paint it black. Also your giving it extra lift? I odn't think I've seen the way they sit stock. Any imput on that... I really want it to look lifted and not be hovering over the tires if that's what it does.
blvd1968 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 WELL GOT IT PAINTED WENT A DIFFERENT DIRECTION WITH THE PAINT(DIDNT HAVE THE RIGHT ORANGE) STARTED TO ASSEMBLE IT AND STILL NOT SURE IF THE 42'S ARE GONNA WORK WE'LL SEE IF THEY DO KINDA MOCKED IT UP AND THERES NO MUCH SPACE IN THE FENDER WELLS. SHOULD OF DID A STRAIGHT AXLE CONVERSION OH WELL I WILL HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER ONE TO DO.
blvd1968 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 I WILL CHECK THE FRAME TO TUB MEASUREMENTS ...? I'M DIGGIN THE CHROME SUSPENSION AND I LIKE THIS KIT ITS SIMPLE BUT FUN.
B-dub Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Now that I see your's I really like the chrome.. thanks! that just made my mind up to use it lol. I think mine will be all black with dark blue cab/bed
Jordan White Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Here's a built one that I found towards the back of the "Under Glass" section, in orange. Toyota Pickup
B-dub Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Here's a built one that I found towards the back of the "Under Glass" section, in orange. Toyota Pickup blvd does this appear to be box stock heigth to you? That's about the stance I want to get out of it and was curious if I was going to need to mod anything before i started painting.
jbwelda Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 post a pic of it mocked up with the big tires if you could.
blvd1968 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Posted March 3, 2009 well that is an awesome toy and dam good thing i didnt paint mine orange. the kit comes with a lift which would be about a scale 4" and 2 ' body lift but my swampers look funny on it i will post soon, kinda wish i would of did an axle conversion for the front
blvd1968 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) well here it is and it looks ok with the 42's what do you guys think? Edited March 4, 2009 by blvd1968
B-dub Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 they make the truck look small.. can't explain it... to me for some reason it makes the scale of the truck look off o.O I like it though
B-dub Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 ...well.. ignore my last comment because after adding the last parts to it.. it looks great. Good job with it I like it a lot... but can you fill me in with what isn't box stock?That looks like box stock wheels/tires that I have but what have you done differently with it? I'm asking because thats the amount of lift I want on mine.

I'm asking because thats the amount of lift I want on mine. So this kit comes 2 ways right hand drive or left hand drive, with stock suspension or with the scale 4" lift all chrome parts for both. i added scale 2" on top of the kit 4" only to the front. so in a sense a lift with a leveling kit, also i went with the right hand drive it just looks cooler and makes it a hilux not a tacoma. i am tyong to find the reg cab long box to build that one i want to do all link suspension with 1 ton axles and 46's or 50's bright yellow. Hope this helps.
