been reading around for a while, seen so many amazing builds threads i didn't bother posting cause felt my build wouldn't be nearly as nice, but here it is.

i have to say this truck was probably one of the best things that happened, my dad got it for free from his boss who retired from construction and barely even drove it, infact i barely hit 100,000 a couple weeks ago, not bad for a '90. i don't know very much about cars but try my best to learn.

+ being in high school with small here and there jobs to build this thing really tests my patience .

i didn't have previous pictures of my truck, but heres step by step what i did to my truck,

-replaced the shift knob,
-added momo steering wheel and quick release
-7 inch touchscreen single din stereo and speakers
-broke the dome light so i added a blue led plate
-8000k hid + new housings
-removed the bottom half of the dash for more leg space
-some eBay short ram, cold air intake? idunno what they call it.
-added a flowmaster super 44 muffler and 2 inch pipes
-added a wink 5 panel mirrors,
-euro lights, clear signals, and clear/chrome corners.
-solder two blue LED plates to the top,

what i have and will soon put on/
3 inch djm lower control arms
4 inch blocks
enkei RS5 rims w/ blue muteki sr48 lug nuts
bucket seats w/ blue harnesses

what i want to do in the near future
bj flip
remove nasty interior and replace with diamond metal plate
roll fenders
short shifter

Sweet man! The rims and the seats are awesome... keep us up to date!

 

Nice start. You'll get that truck looking real nice with time. Being in Cali I'm sure you will find some people to help you out. Reminds me of mine when I started.

 

car parts in the living room....yup you are a car guy!!! LOL

 

Nice job so far bro. Welcome to TM. Um the b/j flip is a real simple job to do. Dont ned to wait for the future to do that. There is a write up on how to do it on here. Well also for future notice...... Take lots of PICs of what ever you do to the truck. We can never get enough PICs.

 

Oh ya where in CALI are you?

 

San Jose/ Bay Area



Just put the 4 inch blocks in today, will have pictures tmr morning.

clean truck to start with! so thats what my truck would look like with the red n clear tail lights haha

 

Those bride's are sick,

 

thanks guys! going to install lower control arms tommorow and do the bj flip.

i tried putting on the rims today, but the blue muteki lug nuts i bought didn't fit my lug holes are too small.

 

good stuff man, i love those seats. how much were they ?

 

500! they're the grey market ones i picked up off ebay. no FIA tags or anything but it comes with the sliders. not too sure where to get seat brackets though.

 

Damn, those are really nice seats.. Brides... wow... YOU GOT WHAT I WANT.

Truck is nice, I like the steering wheel too.


btw, what size rims and tires? $90 for all that? you got yourself a freaking deal for some real wheels too.
