Toyota mini-truckin - WPL

[frizzen]

A while back a guy needed some WPL axles for a custom Dodge Tradesman van, but a set of axles alone with some metal guts weren't all that much cheaper than a whole C24 kit. Ok, guess I like blue a little better and could become something later.



I like the looks of the late 70s early 80s Hilux well enough, but had a much LOWER plan in mind than wpl did. It may or may not actually need those axles under it? Make something acting like a Z-rack, throw a couple extra servos. Started trying to shrink the wheelwells back toward stock size.

Then while talking to my wife about what i was thinking, she said that's just not Radical enough! Well if you're gonna call me out, i guess you're getting a red one.





So...
- Yes, i did spend WAY too long trying to get my VW Split-window truck raised back to a stock-ish height, and ultimately it's now bagged/juiced.
- Lowriding rubbed off on me again.
- Yes, i "can" buy and assemble something from a kit, but something odd happens anyway.
- Yes i do see the irony of raising a low truck, and lowering a high truck.
- Too many projects is almost enough. The answer is always N+1

Blue isn't a TOYOTA, it's now a YO truck. Fairly simple goals. Lowered, minor body mods, it's going to act like a 3 stage Z-rack bed dancer, some paint with graphics. 1980s or early 90s styled. I'm not trying to tuck 22s or lay door.

Red is a Convertible truck that's going to get smoothed out, tonnau cover, spoiler. Probably going to do a scissor lift, bed spin, and dump. She REALLY wanted Spin for some reason. Not too sure much else could happen, wifes giving ideas on it? Not a 'Truxarossa' body kit though.

Changing one answer:
"Why?"
Back when we were doing events, they kept calling us "Mini-Truckers". No one i saw drove an actual mini-truck.
