i bet its gonna be fun cleaning that interior and your dash. Looks like a good time. 

[topar]

I went to work the next day with the truck still on the trailer used the sprinkler for 6 hours under the truck.  Then spent the next day I was off hosing out the truck and the rest of the exterior.  I forgot to turn off my fans when I went into that mud and fried one of my electric fans.

My son Cole.  Yes I am proud of him!

i know it's kinda early to be askin this topar but do you think those toy axles are going to handle the power of the V8? I would think so considering that the Dana 44 that's in fullsize trucks is equivalent to the 30 splines of our yotas but i have heard people claim that V8 is too much, what's your opinion so far? 

Friend of mine had a FJ40 that had a 350 V8 and Yota mini truck axles  He bought it like that. Anyway it had 35's and no locker, when he hit the throttle a little to hard around a conner it blew the rear R&P. Just my

Sad part is I am already thinking tube buggy and rockwells.  Probably be a few years though gotta save $$$$$$$ and spend some time with the family.

Hey topar...I have read through the majority of your build and have probably forgot, but what size tube did you use for your exo... Im sure that it varies, but Im mainly wondering about the roll bar, and rearward cage in the bed as I am trying to start to plan out my own.  Is 1.75" OD close?  Awesome truck!

My brother stopped by for fathers day.  He works for Toyota Motorsports.  My wife took us to dinner and my brother told us that his wife is now 2 1/2 months pregnant. 

[Fearofrunner]

Shouldn't there be a tundra under that trailer?? I mean it can do everything that duelie can 

[topar]

Well it has a race truck and car (show vehicles) in the trailer both of them have Chevy 350 V8 in them.

[Bazzi]

damn man ... I am guessing this has something to do with your family.

well life doesn´t allways turn the way you want to ... 

wish you and your family best of luck...

[topar]

Yeah wife having arthritis has given us an extra 350 a month in bills.  Plus I want to build a rock buggy in the future that will seat 4 people instead of the two that my truck seats.

That makes me sad You've got a awesome truck! but on the other hand, you gotta do what ya gotta do.

[topar]

Yeah it sucks and now my brothers mad at me he and his family are flying out from riverside,CA. in Oct. and wanted to go wheeling.  I told him if I haven't sold it I would take him so I might be trying to put something together around the end of October for a day trip in Virginia if anyone is intrested.

[topar]

Anyone want to buy a truck its still 4 sale?   This is a picture of my trucks and Cole when we were going to a local car show.

[topar]

Right now I am not building anything.  Just trying to spend time at home with the family and stay out of trouble with the wife.   

[topar]

Finally put doors on it.
