    Unbelievable build.

    Your fab skills are second to none. You give most custom shops a run for their money.

    The truck is looking good. The bed side came out great. The more I see this thing get built the more it makes me want to work on mine. Keep up the good work!!

    But I'm not filling the back of the bed. It's just to flat. Needs a body line or some lettering or a bumper. But that just me.

    I love everything but the bed Bern. I like the idea, but it just looks too plain. The front of the the truck is just insane and it dies off around the back IN MY OPINION. I love your work as always though man and I can't wait to see this gem finished.

    raised toyota/Hilux lettering would look nice on the tailgate are. It'll break up the rear a bit

    one small question is you maft wont e read properly done like that

    there's no un-meater air port and the seizing of the meter air port can't be perfect eather

    iI would just use the stock housing I have scene people weld to them thou and made it all one pipe

    [​IMG]


    ps he honey comb thing is to stratin out the air so the meter reads better as well
