    Favorite pic of the old build "EL ROJO"

    The "EL ROJO" build
    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/1st-gen-builds/129103-senior-tacorojos-build.html

    she met her untimely demise at the annual SoCalTacomas superstition meet Jan 10 2015...

    One of the last pics of her


    Since I rolled "ROJO" the original plan was to cab swap. But after deciding to change so much of the truck decided it would be cheaper and easier to just build the donor truck.

    So meet "DIRT YOTA"....

    2003 black double cab 3.4 auto prerunner


    How she is as of 1/2023

    That's awesome, I liked them a lot on his truck. Are they 100% custom or is there a mold to make more?

    Not sure. I emailed glassworks and they said they could still make some, so one would think they still had molds but not sure as I never pursued further.

    Some new parts came in! Got some motor mounts from @Bonzen things look beefy!


    Money well spent! Even though it doesn't bling like shocks or add hp like a sc, it's parts like these that make the difference!!
