The 1 week 100 build ( Albino Hippo ) (1 Viewer)

[Apounder]

Well ello mates, I’m alll over this form, lx470 build, 80 build, GX470 build, lx570 build and now this.... The goal was to find a 100 series with some maintenance records, no rust, and not beat, I found the candidate about a week ago with a friend. We bought this truck to build and sell through Evergreen Offroad on IG to help people get into a solid platform that is turn key ready to take Offroad and learn about 4x4ing along the way. That being said everyone wants to mod their trucks the way they see best fit so our goal was to get it built just enough for someone to have a great start! At an offorable price of course

How she came!

First step: get it up in the air, clean up some underbody, install OME nitro shocks, rear springs, and adjust torsion bars... oh and some wheels spacers.

Next we needed some beef, after hearing some good response from friends running these Patagonia MTs and the price being good, picked up a set of brand new 315/75r16’s and they measure really close to 35” mounted!!! Oh and we had to delete some gold...

Next up, bumper time!! Well front that is... went over to badland bumpers and got this whipped out in less then a day! High clearance, light weight, strong, and will hold most standard winches.

Interior needed some cleaning, got it pretty good, soaked her in some leather care from Griot’s Garage.

As we all know, sliders are one of the most important items when off-roading if you like your rockers. So bam bam

Today also was its maiden voyage/ test ran, holy crap!!! I forgot how capable these things are with some bigger rubber, a little armor and letting atrac do it’s thing!

Awesome! Great idea and nice work on the budget build so far. Tube work looks great on a 100 IMO... Is badlands going to produce these? They should... also curious what size wheel spacer you went with?

Thanks! They did not make jigs but if there was enough interest they would definitely. As for spacers they are 1.5"

Nice build! Digging that front bumper. Now I have the itch to pull out my bender and and build a new bumper!

Good luck with the sale! Someone will be getting a sweet rig!

Oh, it'll happen. I have an image in my head how I want the front, just figure out the rear....

I want that front bumper for sure. If they made it I’d buy one or buy the plans and have it fabbed locally.

How does the rig feel with 35’s and stock gearing? What mods did you need to fit the Patagonia’s?
