    For sure man that would be awesome, im ALMOST to a point where i can actually get stuff done on this truck!

    Its been a while since ive been able to get on here, had troubles with land lord etc etc and trying to find a new place to live that better fits my needs.... aka a garage :(

    But im going to be just making my own frame from tube now, i dont like how it came out with the hilux frame i used.. i want it to be closer* to perfect

    Im just getting ready to hit up school at SPSCC here for my last year of automotive Tech. but i got a new job at Titus Will Chevrolet and thinkgs are looking great for me, its great hours unlike my job i had. late nights and weekends, finally got a 9-5 job that will work with my school hours, 12-5:30 during the week 8-5:30 on fridays, 12$ a hour and NO WEEKENDS, its an amazing job so i will deffinetly be having some time now i will let you know dannyboy

    Any update on this? If you decide to ditch the project I want dibs at the frame. The pics are lots of help for an upcoming project im keeping under wraps. But it involves 3rd gen supra IRS on a hilux frame. :D

    Just so you know the mk3 sub frame are very weak I have snap 2

    I find it dangerous on how you just welded it to the stock frame it should have bean bolted

    example

    Good to know. Where is that a close up of? Looks like above the arms somewhere. Any bracing that's proved to work?

    I actually plan i re making the entire frame from scratch, but i actually just ended up with a 1980 2wd that runs so im not sure when ill drag the project out again, been going through a lot of real life lately, deffinetly something i want to work on but dont really have much time to do anything right now
