is this going to be RC, or just a model?


and if i had an 01 i'd get on it for ya...sorry

 

yea sounds cool, Welcome to TW also, post pics with the final product too I have an 07 so its not the same body style

 

im doing it in 1/24 scale model for a model contest in mini truckin magazine...i got the basic shape and used a bunch of pics to get where im at...it looks pretty good and i actually used a pic and got measurements as close as i could using a license plate in one of the pics to get measurements...license plate are 12x6 so it made it a little easier than i thought ill post pics when i get it all fabbed up thanks guys for being willing to help if you could...i may goto a car lot and get some measurements

 

here is what ive done so far keep in mind the truck was an older hilux body style and took alot of rounding and modifying...the grille was a flat piece of styrene...im far from done just trying to get feedback from guys and/or girls that know the tacoma best lol

 

the model is going to be a full custom truck the bumper will be diff i changed the design after doing alot of work...

 

that looks awesome! i don't have an 01, but keep updating with pics and i'm sure you'll get lots of feedback.
