So, let me get this straight. The guy takes a perfectly good IFS Toyota truck, then takes a rolled junker Jeep Cherocar and combines the two?

Of course, being a Cherocar, he has to fabricate an almost entirely new frame for it. Then figure out how to make the Cherocar suspension geometrically fit the new custom/hybrid frame, then figure out how to shoehorn the Jeep engine and tranny into the Toyota truck body and Jeep dash into the truck cab and get it all to somehow mesh into one drivable vehicle.

All I can say is..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Golly, Geez-wiz....Somebody forget to tell that guy just how cheap and easy it is to make a stock Toyota pick-up into a wheeler that could put any Cherocar to shame.

For all that trouble and probably money, he could sold the parts on the Jeep, then did an SAS on the Toyota, and been way ahead of the game. Heck, he'd have stronger axles if he just stayed with the Toyota.

I think I'd be VERY afraid to ride in that thing on the street. But to each his own. I don't mean to be overly critical. It just seems like one of those ideas that belongs in the "far more trouble than it's worth" catagory.

Sure wish I had shop like that, though.
