Hilux........can put a supra engine in there if you really fancy it....

there was one in Autotrader quite a while back already done

[jaxx]

theres a place near me called Millway (not the one in Hampshire) can quite remember the website, will have to ask me buddy.

they specialise in 4wds from turning them into monster trucks, low riders and bunging huge v8's in them

ill get back to this later!

[Rookey]

Coz' ultimately im after a kind of lowrider style thing, want to atleast look pretty darn cool while carryin equipment to my gigs etc!hehe

You were at the reading meet on tuesday!!!

you cannot have missed the hilux there :hokus-pokus:

You know you want to!!!!!

[Rookey]

Hehe yeh i was! thats what got me thinking, then i looked up lowriders etc which is all well and good, but most are in the US. Like the Ford F150, B...E...A....UTIFUL! but not available over here unless you import!

Hi lux seems cool, but cant find an body bits for it, or lowered suspension...

This is my mates Hilux ;)

Airbagged suspension ... Lexus V8 engine .... 18" billet chrome wheels ... 4x10" subs stereo install ... and a fly paintjob to match :) NUmberous bodymods include shaved rear end, 4wd guards, chrome bumpers, bodydropped ... blah blah .. theres so much to list it's not funny.

HILUX's rock .... plus they have a floorless reputation for reliability.

floorless

when you said floorless you meant it literally, is that on hydraulics or summat?? :o

Sweet ride

[Funkadelic]

What do you play (instrument and style), and where at?

Nothing to do with the truck thing, just curious.

[Rookey]

That hilux is very similar to what i want, but i have to go black me thinks!:P

Im a drummer of 14yrs??

I play the London circuit and session drum in denmark st. at the moment.

Dave!

[Funkadelic]

I somehow guessed you'd be a drummer.

I'm a drummer of twelve years myself, although don't play much any more.

Tried to do a degree in it and lost my enthusiasm for it all together!

Thats a cool looking ride. Sweet!

I was a drummer for 14 years. How'd we all end up on here?

What is a body drop????? is that when they raise the "internal organs" so you can lower it even more so it looks like the body is on the floor???

[Rookey]

Sweet loads of drummers!lol
