Welcome to the reluctant sale of my beautiful custom built Hilux Flatbed.
It was fully built using my own choice of custom parts. The build thread can be found here (note: some things have changed since the build. See specs below):

Here's a quick run down of the specs:
RC4WD TF2 Chassis with Gelande 2 front hoops
Bowhouse RC Skid
RC4WD Yota 2 axles with hardened gears & Ballistic Fabrications diff covers with scale hardware.
GCM Racing scale transmission with 8% overdrive with custom brazed mounts
Gmade scale steel drive shafts
Custom fabricated interior.
Cubby box houses the HW 1080 esc
RC4WD bucket seats and harnesses
Custom brazed front winch bumper
Custom brazed steel sliders
Custom brazed steel flatbed/roll bar
Custom built rear battery box, sunken into the bed
RC4WD Hi-Lft jack included
Fully working RC4WD Warn winch, and winch controller
Working front led lights with a custom made light switch (works off 3rd or 4th channel)
RC4WD 1.7” steel wheels with Yota hub, scale hardware, and disc rotors
RC4WD Goodyear Wrangler 1.7” with custom foams, and weights
RC4WD Bilstein shocks
Soft rear red leafs.
RC4WD rear shackle relocation kit
RC4WD front shackle relocation kit
Custom brazed rear anti-wrap bar (stops the rear leafs folding same as on 1:1 leaf trucks)
Includes the following electrics:
2x Turnigy 3s Lipos suitable for the rear bed mount
Holmes Hobbies 35t Torquemaster Pro motor
HW 1080 esc
Hitec 7955tg hi-torque metal gear servo
RC4WD Warn winch
RC4WD winch controller (works off 3rd or 4th channel)
YOU WILL NEED to supply your own suitable 3 or 4 channel radio (needs to have a 3 position 3rd channel for the winch, and a 4th channel for the led's), and a suitable receiver
Now the difficult part. The price. Adding this all up is well over £1200, and that in no way included the hundreds of hours in fabrication time, brazing rods, steel tube, etch primer, paint etc etc...
So, seeing that a bog standard RC4WD Mojave RTR is £560, I'd be happy to clear £750 NOW £699 for all this. I'd rather have this collected but can post if absolutely necessary.
