Small update ........
I got some body work done . I repaired 2 small cracks in the bed from where the tires stuff up in the fenders . I also removed the Hilux 4 x 4 badging from the front fenders . I fill the lower door holes that I want be using . My wife likes the look of the sanded out primer spots . Who knows I might leave a few of them . Here is a few pics of the progress .

I aslo got some Flat Irons I have not glued them yet . I'm not sure they are staying on .

Here is a few body of shots .

I'm working on getting the frontend slop free . It needed new bushings in the shackles . They where loose as ,well you know what I'm saying . I also worked on the rear links . As the rearend had more swang than Sally from the Valley . If you get my point . My next project will be to get the rear shocks working better . I did a e-clip and pistion mod to the one on my K-5 Blazer and they work great .

This pic shows how bad the axle swang was .

This is after the work on the links .

I also stopped by the Junk Yard and found a good hood and cowl . The hood was from a red Yota the got hit hard in the rear . The green cowl was from a roll over .

After a few to many beers I got some primer on the window seal .

A few flex shoots after getting the front springs and rear links fixed .

I might need to shorten the rear abit .

I got a small update .
I hated the hole in the bed so I filled it in .

I then used some trunk splater paint and the some black paint over that. I also paint the toolbox gloss black .

I got the 3 racing winch mounted . I got the winch cable and hook on as well . Again great stuff Kenny . "thumbsup"

I had a extra set of rc4wd 90mm coilover shocks in my box . The old tlt shocks would not hold oil anymore . So off with them and on with the news one . I pulled the springs off and added some 15wt oil .

new flex shots
