CC-01 Hilux 'The Evolution'


model  58397:  Toyota Hilux High Lift    [ click here for more Toyota Hilux High Lifts ]
status  Restored
date entered  17/12/2011 03:46:55
description  This was my first ever XC chassis'd RC.
When I first bought it, it was a standard Wrangler.
Over the years, I learned new tricks, found ways to better it and I've improved it no end...
As you see it here, in the first pic, is how it sits today.

Since being new, it's had:
New bearings
New Chassis
New gears
Alu steering upgrade (GPM)
' Was replaced with custom steering mod (seen below)
Custom extensions (3 different ones)
A good few different wheel/tyre combos
& lots lots more that I've forgotten over the years

As you see it now, it's just been retired due to the arival of the end of my latest project, has been COMPLETELY rebuilt, apart from the chassis, as it didn't need replacing, and if it did, it wouldn't be the original truck any more. So it will now sit pretty on the shelf, until further notice.

The other pics, show its evolution, of how it became what it is.

I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures as much as I enjoy looking at the real thing

Comments welcome, as always

Admittedly I'm surprised at that!? It was seen one night when it was painted orange parked in front of a very shady downtown nightclub!

That is a smart looking scaler and it seems to have logged quite a few miles and personalities. Well done Daz87UK.
