Smokey's Diesel Hilux build

Nice work on doing all the fabbing yourself! Can I come visit you in Japan?! And can we go to a junkyard and scavenge cool Hilux parts for my truck??!! hahah Jelly.
 
Huh, Mitsubishi Pajero . . . Ive never heard of it. Its kinda a neat looking little SUV. From the back it looked a bit like an LC. By the way, can I have your rear spoiler?? thanks :bravo:
 
Hey guys, on the real, I can ship parts back for yall when from the junkyard. Corner lights and field monitors are always the first things to go, but if yall want the rear hatch and swing out spare tire carrier, your looking at around $1000 including shipping via FedEx. Possibly less. I'm not looking to make a profit off any of the parts, just help out yall on the site. I leave the island tomorrow to go back to the states for two months, but after that I'm down to start shippin parts back.

Which leads me to my next thing. I'll be in Northwest Florida til mid August, then road tripping up to South Carolina for two weeks. So if any of yall want to go wheelin one day, maybe we can meet up. It's completely stock though.... :[

But check DIS out! I FINALLY got the Churty-Fives on today. I ruv dem (in my japanese accent). Barely rubs at all up front. The rear wont tuck as it sits so when I get back I'm going to tub the rear end, mount the ammo cans finally, and mount the full size spare inside the cab. I don't like the way it looks on the back, nor do I want it to hang down below the bumper. That could be catastrophic out on the trail. But anyways, here are the pics!!

Oh, BTW, My new TIG welder came in today.. I can't wait to weld up the winch mount on the front with that bad boy when I get back :D.

@rickashay - I meant to ad this in the post, but forgot. My girlfriend dubbed this project as "Project - UR JAM". Get it? People are so Jelly they're JAM. "Jealous As a Mother F*". I just thought it was funny when you said that, because the Japanese people just stare at me in disbelief when I roll by them. lol.

I've got that spoiler for sale, let me know if you're really interested.:D

Smokey, rear bumper looks better painted black, good work on making it yourself!
 
Thanks man! I like it a lot. It will serve it's purpose.

And no, no pictures of the TIG welder. It's nothing special. Just a little harbor freight one to get me started on it and see how it goes.
