The long bed and rear bumper would be the difficulty. I could cut the bed for the bumper but the king bed I couldn’t do. Everything else can be done
Send me some more pictures of your rig from all different angles and I’ll see what I can do for you. My email is [email protected]
I’ve been busy. I’ve done a few commissioned pieces for friends. I’m selling these for $175.00 each for the vehicle. Add $50 for a diorama. Taking orders for customs to match your rigs at $200.00 each. It takes me $75 in parts and 10-12 hours to make each one. Each truck is drilled and disassembled to be painted with Toyota touch up paint with airbrush. Hand painted details and decals for head and tail lights. 2 coats of clear. Custom wheels painted to match yours. Shells or racks to match. Spare tires, tire trash bags, traction boards, rock sliders, all accessories available. Just made some alucab tent shells for those interested in those.

Sad to hear about the loss of that classic
I am waiting for us to get these. It’s in a different case # than the 2023 ones we got already.
Orrr find me some of your new 2023 models and I’ll send ya a little care package of hotwheels I’ve gathered.
I could get this for you tomorrow. I don't have a HW in the truck, but I can bring one to work.
I also have a few spare red ones.
I have a couple extras, I could send you one.
Limited ones are just any in general? I'm seeing a lot online. Just sour about paying shipping. Lol. Just in a complaining mood.
Shot you a message.

Awwwwww yisss! I got hyper fixated on this and ran with it.
I guesstimated measurements so it's not gonna be proportional. With actual measurements I could probably get it the correct ratio. I pulled as much as I could from the site, but it didn't give all the dimensions needed. So I threw the wheel together, then realized I don't think it would get all the details at that size. Not a perfect model of the wheels, but I think it turned out pretty good with my limited skills. I didn't mess with the barrel too much so there's more of an edge than I like compared to the real version. The counts are off. I ended up throwing 4 wheels together to make them. Just would have taken forever to tinker with it. I'm pretty sure the Rotopax and the wheels are the correct scale ratio. Camper, windows, door and tank I eyeballed. Dug around for pictures of your truck and it was quite a task finding the views I needed. Lol. But if you ever get a Tacoma model larger than a Hot Wheel, I got you! Once I get measurements and stuff, I could spit out whatever you need. Just have to get around to acquiring a Hot Wheel Tacoma and see how the bed layout is and it'll be done.
I appreciate the offer. I kind of want to find one on my own though. I'm just failing. What are your secrets!?!?!
Do you mind me asking what your price was for that? Curious if my pricing is competitive but it looks like I do much more detailing. Thank you
If you're printing these, will you be interested in selling some? I need 1/64 scale. Thank you
For those interested, below are the measurements I took.
(1) 30.53mm
(2) 28.96mm
(3) 22.22mm (inside), 25.64mm (outside)
(4) 26.95mm
(5) 21.15mm
(6) 76.30mm
(7) 7.40mm
(8) 11.90mm (front of bed), 11.40mm (rear of bed)
(9) 5.74mm
(10) 13.75mm
(11) 2.95mm
(12) 20.58mm
$120.
I don't know if they'll be 1/64 scale, but they will fit the Hot Wheels. When I get a hold of one and get them dialed in, I'll print them and they'll be available. I'll probably forget, but will post here. When it's up, just shoot me a message. Thinking about making other small things as I find interest in it.
Just gotta get my hands on one for sizing and one will find it's way to you. I'd have to see what colors I have. You'll probably have to paint some things.What!!!
Might try with the measurements I received, but I've had the worst luck with tolerances being off.
