something old, something new, and something blue

[Forrest]

here is my High Lift Hilux, old school!

strip the red, then the shocks will look more like bruiser units

and gt some bigger RC4wd 1.9's on there to fill the gaps

otherwise I love the idea

 

[4u2nv]

I like it! Are those wheels and decals available through you?

 

[william g]

I agree it looks hot, but a larger tire to fill the gap. Or find a way to drop the body?

Does look smokin' though. I like all the chrome plating you did too. :drool:drool

 

[Forrest]

yeah, I do not know why Tamiya made the body set so high on the chassis.
I have though about dropping the body but then I will have to re invent the way rear bumper mounts. I am however working on a hub adapter to put bruiser 2.2's on it.

4u2nv, the wheels are a limited run that I have not listed for sale yet.
they are $120.00 for the set of four. the decals can be purchased at tamiyaclub.com

chrome king blackfoot wheels look exactly like bruiser rims and have a 12mm hex... the back spacing isnt great on the highlift from what I hear though

 

[william g]

Does it take very long for the decals to get here in the states?

Really like this truck :drool

:drool:drool:drool:drool!!!

Very nicely done Forrest, man that thing looks sweet with the old Bruiser stickers, and all that chrome:tmb:tmb

Please let me/us know when you list those wheels I'd love to get a set or two:tmb:tmb:tmb

I believe if you "build it, then you better run it", but that truck is so beautiful i could never bring myself to run it. Wow.

Now that is what I call a shelf queen!

I dont know if you guys have seen this , But a buddy of Mine Todd kerby painted this shell for one of these high lifts in this months issue of XRC. Check out the link here.

[Electrohacker]

how is that related?

 

[team3six]

The shell that is painted is for the Tamiya High Lift toyota. I think that would be a related issue.

I figured it would be appreciated. But If i posted it in the wrong thread I am sorry. I didnt mean to hijack the thread. I was just very impressed with the truck and wanted to share another body for that truck.

like william g said, you should get bigger tires, is that a custom body, or does that come with it, i cant tell

 

[william g]

I bet a set of 1.9 rock crushers would look good, scale too. :tmb
