Also got the rear cab wall fabbed and installed. I might do some rib detail into it, but it is plenty strong on it's own. I used 20mil styrene and a Dremel to cut it.

Good job with the styrene!
Looks good!
 
You’re embarrassing us with your progress, Stump!
 
Esc fan, that's new/news to me.
Yeah, this one has a manifold to protect it from rocks and other crap... I thought it was a good idea since I don't have inner fenders. I think the company is GPC... It's just 3d printed.

It also has a temp sensor that tells it when to turn on and off.
 
Very cool Stump that back wall is sweet!
 
Off to hobby town to replace my first casualty. Servo or steering horn is stripped and I take credit for it not JJ!
 
^^^ to get my aftermarket bumper to line up right with my Hilux cab, I used the rear bumper mount upside down in the front, and move the front bumper mount to the rear of the chassis. Options....
 
Started painting... Had a boo-boo. It seams my paint decided to craze... It was humid yesterday and apparently, I didn't let the 1st coat flash long enough.
I'm kind of liking it... What do you guys think?

Well, this f-ing rain has put a damper on my painting, so I figured I'd get the lexan body going.
As I figured, it went much quicker than the hardbody.
Obviously it still needs paint, but the major stuff it handled.
The first pic gives a hint of the paint scheme...

Think I finally broke my venerable TRX4.
There is normally some sticktion in the suspension after the truck has been sitting, but, not like this....

Maybe a bent shock shaft, or dented shock body....

Don't have the time to invesigate untill after Theo's birthday party this weekend....
