Well I did another bush box for my buddy's Toyota. This one was built originally for a full size pickup with a 6 foot box. We had to shorten it up and narrow it to fit the bobbed Toyota better. Here's some pics from when we picked it up and dragged it home from the next town over....it was sorta built into a utility trailerish thing.





It had been sitting for 4 or 5 years...the tires were flat, ancient bias ply's that luckily made it the 60km highway trip home after putting some air in them.

We kinda forgot to take pics as we went along, but I grabbed my camera tonight after we got it final mounted to the truck, gas filler installed and the box sides painted. Have to build some sort of tail gate for it yet and wire up the lights.

Those are nice boxes for a trail rig. hell I'd use one if I could get my hands on one, no worrys about smashing up sheet metal then. I think I would add some sort of headache rack or roll protection too. Keep the pics coming.

Yea it would look good with a roll bar on it like mine does. I'll probably end up doing one for it when he buys some tubing for it.

Looks awesome! Get some roll on bedliner like herculiner in the box and get the led style brake lights and that thing would be almost perfect

I've always liked the way your looks on your rig. I was tossing around the idea using the general design of it with a few minor mods for the B2R. I want my exo to tie into and I'm trying to figure out how to make it look good and still be functional. Nice work BTW :icon_thumby:

It was a pickup box that someone built into a halfassed trailer.

They are all over here in BC, pretty much on the back of any crew truck from the logging companies.
