Little toy? Even the picture is huge!

The alloys on the Troop look very smart.

Thanks guys, I believe the alloys are factory Mitsubishi Shogun/Pajero ones which have the same stud spacing etc but a touch more offset so widening the track slightly. They were on there when I bought it, up close they're scratched to hell but look good from a distance.

I may make the truck pic a little smaller, this is a medium sized truck, has an 8ft bed, a large 3 person sofa like bench seat and a little 5.7L engine, they did go up to a 9 foot bed, and engines went from about a 3 litre straight six up to a 7.4L V8!

5.7litre 8 ft bed & bright yellow. Not one for hiding your light under a bushel then?!

Trooper does look good. I still prefer that Mk 1 look to the new shape, which narrows too much at the waist for my tastes. New shape SWB look poorly proportioned in my opinion.

Looks OK as a newer Bighorn with the extended arches - as does the Mk1 which look fantastic with the wider wheels & arches.

Rear lightguards were on it when I got it. I'm gonna make a set to go over the rear bumper lights just from some round bar and some flat bar ends. I'm even toying with the idea of making some steel and mesh headlamp guards.

nice...keep us update with the light guards. Wink

I want to make a set for my TFS, I was searching a set from 88-97 Bravas but didn`t find any. So I`m going to design a set for the front and rear.

cheers Very Happy
