    I like your truck. About the speedometer not working. Maybe someone took apart the gauges and messed it up. If I was you I would try and find a better set of gauges with a tach. Maybe SR5 or something.

    thanks!next i really need to fix the speedometer, its just so wierd driving not knowing how fast your going. but i wanna get black headlights with projectors. redo the interior, get a bedliner thats what i plan on doing next. but eventually i wanna get a new radiator, intake, clean up the engine bay make it look nice. and about the b/j flip i think i'm start with that and see how it looks. i don't want my ride to be too low. i like the beefy truck look i guess. also i wanted to mod the front grille and headlights like the old hilux's but i'm very limited in tools and etc to do the mods. so thats a no go for now.

    that could be the case. i checked and everything looked fine, from what i've researched it is most likely the wiring from the speedo to tranny. about the sr5 cluster i'd like to get one but at all the junkyards around where i live don't have anything! it sucks. went every week for a month and nothing everytime.

    got my intake, clear corner, clear turn signals, and black taillights in today.
    had to do some sanding and painting to the corner lights since they only had chrome ones.
    still in the process of looking for my camera lol

    Seems like it's much more enjoyable to not have my one of a kind dually mini.. No fancy wheels for me.. No fun goodies that I get to buy.. Just saving up for damn fender flares and a new bed.. tsk tsk..

    Ha ha! But your truck is coming together nicely!

    had some time off before summer class started and heres what i've done
    got a new bumper and valence, painted it red(got the paint from automotive touchup, recommend this site) fixed the dent on my fender since the right side bumper got pushed in. i also painted my grille again since it was fading a bit. oh and i installed a air intake too. thats it for now, up next is hopefully some projectors or maybe do some interior work aka spray painting the dash etc haha.
