    Yea the white yota i posted cost me about $40 for the kit alone. Then i spent about a year on and off. Shaving corners, tails, boxed bed, Unibodied, shaved mirrors. Cut out the bed to make it lay lower. I made the bumper/valance from the kit plus a fox body mustang bumper. Lexus bucket seats, Expedition center console. Scale 22"s that im switching out for scale 20"s.

    Still waiting to make a full new frame for it, With a functioning 4 link.
