Default Re: Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

So the C24 trucks (bed) have the Round headlight 4 block grill, and the C14 trucks (flatbed/truggy) get the Square headlight 6 block grill. They don't interchange. To tie into chassis the6 block grill needs a winch bumper, 4 block grill is integrated into body kit that bumper snaps into.
Obviously i now absolutely *NEEDED* to convert a truck to newer style. Because reasons?



Both axles were narrowed pretty extensively earlier. It's not quite enough for one plan.
Front fenders lost the lip on flare, shortened shocks.
Rear bed sides bent outward, bed floor just removed.

If ya really work at it... you can get wpl axles, these wheels, with inverted 4 link bars, to lay on the trans housing. Think of it like chopping Dana-60s to the width of a Toyota axle, and trying to put wheels back into the fenders. There's a 3d printed dual-gearmotor skid plate someone designed (that was stolen by china and available as a kit) which would give belly clearance again.

That servo gimbal from above with the top shaved will give 'Dump' action as it sits in this picture. It could probably do it with only 1/3 of the bed cut out. So you'd have it like cab, toolbox, full depth, boxed tonnau.
It's still a dancer, not a dumptruck.
