Nastybogging's Tiny Taco

So what's new? Any updates

 

No, nothing newsworthy yet. I did 3D print the front bumper to get it more symmetrical. I also printed the engine bay from Knight Customs Metic. It need a little work for it to fit. I do plan on taking both my RCs (a 3G Tacoma and a 5G 4Runner) to a Toyotas for tots event next month.

 

I received my extra parts from M-Fab today! I'll have more to post by this weekend or beginning of next week.

 

Now that's not fair.

 

I'm gonna need some help soon on how you did the amber in your headlights and how to get the red tail light lenses if you dont mind. Body in 90% done and need a break from body work. Lol

 

The Amber is 3mm yellow LEDs, except for the side marker which is just orange sharpie. I got mine from Amazon for a few dollars. Sanding is a pain but worth it.

 

Awesome thanks,

 

Today I was able to get the trailer mounted on the frame. The first two pictures are from the mock up.

It fit surprisingly well the first, I figured I'd need to make a few adjustments. I can get to sanding and get the lights installed. I also to get a utility box for the front of the trailer.

 

Haha, looking great. Looks just like a friend of mines trailer...too cool.

 

I took some photos with the truck and trailer. I do need to get smaller tires for the trailer, surprisingly they don't rub.




I found a toolbox I was able to print. The lid opens and closes which I thought was super cool.

 

I have the same problem with my trailer lol.

 

I'm really leaning towards painting the Tiny Taco Cement Gray.

 

You know I am down. I also like Calvary Blue! The only blue truck I have owned, as it reminded of the old fj40s.

 

It's been a struggle between Cement Gray and Blazing Blue.

 

I decided to dovetail the trailer and trim the bumper to match the body line. If it turns out well, I'll do it to the bed on the truck. I have a matching tire carrier to put on the truck as well.

Great work. You have a talent. Looks Awesome.

 

Took the Tiny Taco and 4Runner out for a test run today. We went to a Toyota For Tots event. It was a funny event and good run. I did forget to put the set screw in the Trailer Hitch so the trailer didn't make it to far. There were a bunch of cool rigs.

 

They look great.

 

Quick Update:
I got this stand for Tiny Taco to seat on, it look pretty sweet with the vintage logo. If you can see the scratches from the first run on the front fender and doors.

 

Awesome. Post some flexin pics
