Maybe could incorperate a Tamyia Pajero body? Get two of them and then make it extended and do some grille work?

Have you taken a look at toy grade r/c bodies? They are over built so they can take a lot of abuse, and you can find almost any bodystyle

I doubt you will find an SUV based yota in lexan or hard body,



I say get the Tamiya Tundra body and go truggy with it. No one in RCA has that hard body tundra, plus its still toyota :retard:

There is a company out of Germany that contacted me about producing the dually body I made, when we spoke he said that they made a Land Rover, Highlander and VW bus already and sell them on ebay. I will call him and find out what he know's.

Its just a tad on the small side, but it looks to be the same as my slinky blue ballz jeep, and If so you can replicate that first yota you posted up pretty well. It would look like it has an extended wheelbase :thumbsup:

I can PM him and have him email you :beerbuddy:

I do have to say, a Tundra Truggy would be pretty cool. I got a hold of Precision Plastic Moldings in Berlin, Germany and he said he would contact the mold shop and see if the highlander mold was available for casting. He said he would contact me within a week. I'll let you know.
