Picked up the new MiniTruckin mag today and this truck is featured in it. The first thing I noticed was its a uni-body. Been thinkin of doin that to mine, what do you guys think on how it looks?

 

We did this 720 back about 18 years ago. I really like them myself. It also allowed us to do a bigger stereo in the back.









It has:
1-30" sub
8-15" subs
4-10" subs
4-8" subs
3-sets of separates
11,500 watts of power
and 11 batteries to power it all.
BIG BOOM!!!

 

its like a 2runner!

make it a ute!

 

That guys lives in my town and I see the truck pretty regularly. It's a good looking truck and the unibody really looks cool. It took me a while to notice it though lol

 

It looks good but I heard tht it'll crack alot because the bed doesn't flex anymore but still tries causing it to crack.

 

If done proper i figure you would figure it wont crack. I approve ov uni-body-ing... lol

I built a scale model yota and uni-bodied it..

 

Ford was the first to make a unibody truck in 1961 it ran until 1964 when it was discontinued because of cracking of the body because customers were overloading of the bed and towing. The upside and reason it was created in the first place is the car like fell, my opinion is if you're not going to overload it then its cool.

 

when you say unibody you don't actually mean it no longer has a frame right? your just referring to the bed gap being shaved, and possibly made into a walk-through?

 

yea it still has a frame just no gap in the body.

 

the toy looks good, i thing you should do it dave!

my buddy had a 66 ford unibody. they are also known for serious rust. i had him so close to bagging it, but when i told him the front straight axle had to go he changed his mind

 

I've been thinkin about....but I don't want to shave the body lines.


Btw, Creepy, I love the old school Nissan with the big system. You con't see that anymore.

 

Sounds like you need to make the lines all the way too then

 

just weld it. bondo ftw

 

What's the front end combination on that truck? (Grill, bumper, valance)

 

newer tacoma bumper
4runner 92-95 grille headlight corner light setup

 

Damn beat me to it

 

Nam's new nick name is "Johnny on the spot"!

 

damn, *edit* on my previous post, i meant bondo ftl lol

 

Would that newer tacoma bumper bolt right on or would it require much modification?

Thanks in advance!

 

Not sure, all the MT article said was the valance was chopped to fit.
