!!!lets see your trucks!!!

turns out importing from state to state is also expensive, what did i do? drove a LONG way to Utah, since heard they have good offroad bumpers, and parts. got the 6.0 engine earlier aswell, here to get some stuff for the diesel, probably a better radiator, a better intake for the diesel and a bumper or 2. here is me with my daily driver picking them up. we are going to the tourist center for the night, drive to LA and probably get a flight there.

 

welp, everything comes to an end, same as my bruckell legran. i've drove it 354k miles until now which i sold it to a repair shop for its own. (its entire engine fell and i cant do anything.)
fortunenately i have a friend in LA, johnson valley, he is going to WCUSA soon, and i will go with him.

 

Alright the first step is done, my new (to me) Atilla Trophy Truck has been purchased and dropped off at a local shop close to my new home base. It's definitely not in perfect shape, but the insanely powerful engine runs and drives. The guys at Trail Hunter Customs are powdercoating the frame, redoing some of the fried wiring, retrofitting some parts in the backhalf, getting some new lights wired, and throwing on some new wheels & tires. I'm super stoked with how this is going to turn out!

 

after going to my home, i've did the project! thanks to everyone one on my journey of this truck, and special thanks to the Website Beambay Cars!


although this isnt the end of our entire journey... stay tuned!

(we only started on the parts and paint!)

EDIT on it: we are painting the car one by one! its paint is gonna be gray. and we are removing the back sides!
we got a snorkel on it and fabric doors!

no pics.

 

yo, this is so cool! maybe i have to start something like this!

 

I want to buy a truck to work on soon, a project truck, i went everywhere on the belasco city, and i found two of the final cars. but i will buy one of them only, and since i can't decide, i will use your opinion to help me decide to buy witch. (Both of the trucks are under 7000$)
1-
2017 Ford F250 automatic, engine is in not a bad condition, although had a crash in past a the front fascia and grille as well as the front bumper are missing and the front right fender is a tiny little bent, engine does need some optimization and fixing to run correctly and perfectly. also both of the front tire's are punctured. color is (almost) white, although i will repaint it to something else if i buy it.
Pictures:


Rear (the rear window is broken and needs to be replaced) :
could'nt get the pic better than that, there was a wall there, and the engine would'nt turn on, plus both of the front tire's were punctured.


the side(s) also need some fixing


2-
used 1988 D15 V8 manual in red color, i probably will keep the color the same on this one, i will repaint it cause dirt and a little bit of rust if i purchase it. no body dents or problems, so does'nt need fixing that bad, although the rear bumper could fixed, it's a little out of place. it should be pretty simple. BUT there is no engine under the hood.
Pictures:

Be aware that the plans i have for the trucks are different, so if i buy one, the plan for the other one is gone and will be cancelled.
tell me what you think!

 

I’d say the second one would be better. It looks like the famous Top Gear Hilux, and it doesn’t have any electronics that would be hard to repair. Engines for those are pretty common, and therefore cheap, and it’s in otherwise good condition.

hey mate, i could help with the rust, i got red paint in my basement, i could sell it to ya.

after a whole night of painting parts ONE BY ONE, it is done.... we have the suspensions, just need wheels and a more powerful engine if possible.

UPDATE!
we are right now swapping the engine from the blown I6, and the weak transmission that was swapped after the prerunner was crashed in 2002, to a 6.9L engine and a sequental transmission. (yes, its expensive.)
also need back bed panels.


im bored waiting hours

day later, we painted and got it ready!


due to my luck, we got sponsored by alot of companys! like BlastR, Screamer Prerunner Team, Eshock ETC!


2 days later, my friend was asleep and he woke up for the prenrunner race today, and then, he took a pick of this:


and...
WE WON! WE WON THE TOURNAMENT! this is probably my most prized possesion to me!

 

woah woah woah is that a duramax?

 

ok, i will wait a little more so if anyone else has a opinion, they could give it to me, but im 90% sure that i will buy the red D-series.
@JustANormalDriver , sure! i will buy the red paint, when will it come to me?

 

Sure is brother. Atleast its the DFA pack duramax lol

 

mailed it yesterday, may come near lunch.

 

Ok! i will receive it soon i guess...
Ok, i bought the red truck, here's the plan for it that i have:
Transforming it into a dually with a big fat V8 (V10, if i could purchase) that is meant to haul heavy stuff. i might turn it into an 6x6 but i have'nt made the desiesion about that yet.

 

if you want to turn it to 6x6 you gonna clear the frame and replace it with the 6x6 one

 

yes, i but im not sure about it
OT:
here's the condition of the truck and how it looks right now:

i will probably finish the painting tonight if i work at it and i have the mood, but if not, i will be finished tommorow, i guess.

 

the paint i thought it was not clean
