When you have a motor + drivetrain that you're not using from previous project . . .
Plus saving good chunk of money that can be put toward other area on this built, why not.

meh, i suppose, but why not build a Nissan Hardbody/frontier from the ground up? Just a thought, sense hes starting from scratch.....:dontknow:

IDK, BA none the less:top:

I would assume weight and he did say he found that body closest to what he wanted/ price

Easy answer, Toyota Hi-Lux > Nissan Hardbody.


As for motor choice, time to voice your opinion - - > http://engineeredtoslide.com/2011/03/ets-drift-ute-held-up/

voicing my opinion.....1 year later....still not done....:eviltongue:

shit by this rate, Brandon will have his reverse mash-up version of this, done...in his driveway... not in some high-dollar-clean-enough-to-eat-off garage.... A Toyota powered Nissan...

the hilux is way cleaner though.

Wow that chassis is beautiful! Looks like a full-size go-kart

 

[sdxrunner619]

This is true...though....
Last I checked Clifford, the point of a drift truck...typically implies drifting it...not spending weeks trying to make the rear rims sit as "hella flush" as possible...

Ill eat my words, when this thing is actually countered over, tanduming with another car...:crinklehair:

 

[Clifford]

I have no idea if it will ever be done, or drifted. But I dont give a shit, you can build a good looking purpose built vehicle, why not do it right the first time.

to each their own. lol.

Wow...this is gonna be such a gnarly build. Can't wait for more pics!
