1998 Toyota Tacoma Pikes Peak 
Ah, it’s been 3 years, but my favorite project has finally met the light at the end of the tunnel! Early in my LEGO building career I attempted to build an 18-wide replica of Rod Millen’s record-breaking Pikes Peak Toyota Tacoma. I scrapped the original project due to lack of parts and now I’ve brought it back from the dead. Now that my skills are nearly twice as good as they used to be and my parts supply is much greater, the truck has been completed!
Now, about the truck: The Toyota Tacoma Pikes Peak was a custom built by Millen Works racing to compete in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in the Unlimited class. It pushes nearly 800 Horsepower from a small engine and is equipped with turbocharger and nitrous injection. The Pike Peak Tacoma is a legend of the mountain and claim victories in 1998 and 1999.
