Keith machined the toyota flanges to fit under the alloy rims as you can see in the pic. Thanks Keith! I forgot to mention that when I do the axle conversion, I am going to install EE brake lines at the same time.

I posted the same in the picture thread but I have to tell you that your truck is the nicest looking non Defender Rover I have seen to date. Like Musky said, it's just well balanced and thought out. Well done.


Well, everything except that HUGE radio lol.

well it seems to be a nice truck.... but I can't see the entire thing! Post a picture of the WHOLE truck, not just it's parts. :sombrero:

What are you talking about? That radio kicks MMM! LOL :ylsmoke:

Future plans call for that hidden Cobra unit when the new console goes in. Maybe a cupholder too!

no worry, I saw the pic of the entire truck you posted in the other thread. Cool RRC. I had an 89 classic as my first vehicle, but had to sell if cause I couldn't afford to fix the engine. I reallllllyyy wish I could have just kept it and left it on the side of the garage for a later date. That truck was spotless inside and out.
