Minitruck Build - Modifying a 1980's Toyota Hilux Pickup Ep.2

Sunshine After the Storm: Resuming the Toyoda/Hondota Transformation! 🌦️🔧
After weathering the storm, the sun emerges in this episode, providing the perfect opportunity to resume the modification journey of my 1981 Toyota Hilux Tacoma, the Toyoda/Hondota. In a race against time, I re-index the torsion bars and lower the truck overnight, ensuring it remains movable during the transformation.
Watch as I measure and mark the areas slated for removal in the upcoming body drop at the rear of the cab. While the front, middle, and rear mounting points will be tackled in a future episode, this installment sets the stage for the intricate modifications to come.
Join me on this journey, featuring a Hybrid K20A2/K24A2 engine, Formula 1/cantilever style suspension, and QA1 coilover shocks. With 15X10 wheels wrapped in 195X50X15 Achilles 123S tires and a custom alloy Hilux tray build, this minitruck is gearing up for a strong time attack theme and drifting adventures.
As the video concludes, witness the precision of tig welding as I seamlessly connect the C-Notch sections in preparation for their permanent attachment to the chassis. Subscribe now for more updates, and let's make each weld a mark of progress in this transformative series! 🛠️💥 #HiluxBodyDrop #SunshineAfterStorm #CantileverSuspension #TransformationJourney"

Are you NZ based? I’m sure these come from Australia. Last time I checked there was only 6 in the country and I have 4 of them in this spec.

[@AdamNZ]

They are called Dynamic wheels. Pretty sure they are made in Australia.
