Our 2011 Tacoma Clip hope we can get this cut down and still look good.

Our Sub frame is going to be very similar to the Miller build. My sub frame is probably deeper than most at 12", but wanted a higher capacity trans pan with the Atlas completler under a flat floor pan to keep interior as simple as possible.

The build will not be a crazy 2 month build. Tommy and I are working on it about 10 - 15 hrs a week as of now, but as more parts show up and more time frees up hopefully that will change. MY goal is to have it complete in June with hopes to races the Ultra 4 @ Badlands June 23.
 
Got a couple hours in tonight.

I really like the look so far. The roof and door bar have a 2 degree angle to them. The top of the roof is 46" outside of tube. My concern is the window area seems rather large. Its roughly 21" x 34" x 41". We talked about a double B pillar, but I really don't like the look of the Double B pillar. What are some of the bigger U4 Cars window net area?
 
Well have been a little slack seeing we went to Easter Jeep. Here are a few more.

The rear is right at 41" wide so we can mount a spare on the back of the car. The frame on the car will be 18" behind center of rear axle. The spare tire will have a bumper built into it that will be behind the rear tire.
 
That motor and trans setup will never work!! Lol rig is looking good. Can't wait to see it in action..
