Been lurking and looking on here for awhile and never seen an official f-toy pic thread like they have for exo cages, 4runners, whatever in the toyota section.

So since most of us are spread around the nation how about post up some pics of during the build, wheeling, or comps. :smokin:

As long as its some what F-toy post up:

Clayton OK

I'll play

2004 - first wheelin trip. on the lake bed

2005 at TDS more and more changes happen every month and don't stop for 7 years:laughing:

end of 2005

2006 - janurary, new wiring, dash, tires, all sorts of stuff. this was the 3rd dash put in and i feel like i got it right this time and it became the model for a lot of other ftoys. the dash is still in the car today

2009 - only little stuff change through the years. gotpropane.com, motor mounts and shock mounts. in 2009 for prep for KOH, she go overhauled. i finally lost the huge skid plate and got a 2" drop regular crossmember. i like it so much better. more room in cab and better driveline angles.

2010 - new paint for KOH

I'll play too :)

can you snap some upclose pics of how you have your propane tanks mounted? i need to run 2 tanks in mine and will shamelessly steal your idea!

Calico. Out by Barstow. Unfortunately my Formula Four has never been out of California. I broke a hub in that spot and that eventually took out my Longfield stub shaft.

sure. its a big W with the straps welded to the tubes. here are some pics i found that sort of show it. its important to know that the W if flared out at the top. it just doesnt run straight into the tube. if it does, the propane tank will not set in right. actually, i think this was john james idea and fatty is the only one to bend them up like this. there are only 2 cars with this design.

Can you snap a couple pics of said dash?

its been upated since then but its the same thing. the thing i changed is: i put the wiring box and all wiring underneath the top panel. i removed everything from the firewall. having everything on the firewall was a big PITA.

Here you go.

I love to picture whore. :D

I'd like to get it comp worthy. Needs a little bit of work, but for the price I got it for it's no biggie. It's gonna be more of a trail rig and showing up all the full-size one tonners I run with.

Thanks harley. Short term plans are stickies, hydro assist, and 4.7s. Everything else is good to go. Runs like a top. Chris put some money into this thing, and let it go cheap. Still too good to be true. I sat in it for like an hour yesterday, just playing with it.

If you ever entertain the thought of selling this. PM me....Seriously.


Nice rig, can you show us more?

My turn.





This is my old FToy. Highest placing FToy in KOH history, even though I was accused of short coursing. :flipoff2:

Wish I still had this rig. #20, it was built by Im4Yotas and Heywood back in the day.

Id love to see some more pics of #117

Can someone post some pics of an extended cab/ longbed frame used with a regular f-toy chassis to make more room for a rear seat? I've searched and searched. I've come across several comments about doing this, just haven't found a known pic of it. I recently bought an extended cab frame to do this is why I ask.

it doesnt make a difference. the ext cab frame is longer in the back. the bend in the frame that goes higher for the bed is in the same place

and a poser

How well does the winch work for a suck down? With it wrapped around the front hanger, doesnt it pull the axle forward, because the shackles are in the rear?

I respectfully disagree--they're ~10" longer in the flat section under the cab (at least on a 3rd gen!). I cut this section out of my donor frame. I wish I hadn't and wish I had left it there and cut the excess off the rear to leave back seat room like rick james is suggesting.

This is why I'm curious to see one done. It'll be a while before I'll be able to order a chassis. I'd just like an idea of what mine will turn out like. I definitely need the room for the rear seat.

Glad too see its still getting used.

That Ftoy has gotta have more use (and abuse) than any other out there. :D

I'd say Hobies is right there with #006 as far as most use:laughing:

I wasn't sold on the blue, but it turned out great.... now it's time to scratch it up!

Do you have a matching exhaust set up in your tow rig?

Hated to see 111 go so far from home, but glad its being used. Blue looks kool, but I didn't think the original was that bad. What plans do you have for it?

basically wheel it whenever i can! maybe later trailgear beadlocks-since i am a trailgear distributor-and rock assault front housing. i would like to get it back in werock if at all possible, if not just have to settle for local comps!:D----skonkerd, do you have any more of those poor boys stickers? i lost mine during the paint job!

i am sure you are right. in 2003 when we were having the same short bed frame search. i saw 2 frames side by side. one and long bed and one a short bed and the long bed was only longer in the rear. maybe it was a certain year or maybe the guy who got the frames was all mistaken. :laughing:
