Building the "BEAST"

damn. That flex is outstanding. Those pics are great. Your daughter did a great job.

 

Thank you.

 

Thanks. I'll tell her you said so.

 

Yeah, it climps those steep angles alot better now. It's really alot of fun.

 

coolest truck ever!

 

Thank you very much.

 

gotta say wyatt, the truck is even more badass then ever. And those are some great pics. I love the first and last one; i made the 1st one by desktop background.

 

Thank you very much. My daughter took those pictures. I'll tell her you approve of her work

 

Your truck kicks ass mate!

Cant beleive you guys can get that thing registered over there.....seriously LOL

 

Yep, got the registration papers and the stickers. No problem. Now it's a different story trying to get it over there I'd love to bring it for the Outback challenge.

 

Now let me get to sleep so I can think of some new projects. Like maybe a mean SASED Hilux or something.....

 

That would be awesome.

 

Those stills came out great!

I've got to figure out how to enhance video like I can with stills. But my wife Melanie shot that video footage from the Gatekeeper at John Bull.

 

Would this be considered a bribe for "special" vendor perks?

 

Wyatt, Your truck is most impressive. You did a remarkable job of telling the trucks story. I spent hours each night reading the whole tread. I learned a lot of useful information from your posts and the answers you provided. I did have one question for you. What kind of paint did you use on the frame and axles of your truck?

 

Thank you very much for the kind words. hope that many people an learn and build better trucks than I or Jason has.

Anyway, the paint is just .99 cents flat black paint from Home Depot. It really seams to coat really well and is cheap enough not worry if you scratch it.

 

Here is a link to the install of a Marlin Crawler box into a Tacoma.

Enjoy!

 

Wyatt, Thanks for the writeup on the crawler box. That's pretty awesome stuff. Also, I don't know why but I burst into laughter when I read the statement about acquiring the shift boot from the "go fast Honda shop..." It was just so unexpected. LOL
