Re: Toyota Truggy Project
Droping the body lift made a big difference, nice and low now...






New frame plates for the sliders

Re: Toyota Truggy Project
Looks good, one day i'd like to try that rock crawl stuff. Problem with Motorsports is there is too many different types of motorsports events to enter!

Ah, how I love those arrow magnets. They don't work on dang SS though.

Nice project . .. ...

Although at first I thought we were seeing a movie about the "Incredible Shrinking Truck" or "Honey I shrunk the Truck"
