welcome to the california mini truck stance dropped and fully tinted

 

Gotta love the Cali lean.

 

california love

 

straightened up the bumper a bit and shot it with Dupli-Color bumper paint. I'll do the rear bumper tomorrow. New grill and corners are next




btw, I'm having a difficult time looking at all these older trucks here on Toyotaminis. I want an early toyota so bad. I think I'm going to continue with this build/upgrade and sell it when I find the right truck. Maybe a 78 and earlier truck.

 

Or keep this for a daily and have 2 yotas lol. I know what you mean though!! Almost wish I held out for a 79 long bed like my wife's uncle has.

 

1 Daily Yota would be fine...just as long as I have a/c


I like the way it came out but damn I need a grill and R-corner

 

It's been a bit chilly here in Cali so I have yet to paint the rear bumper. I did, however, pick up a set of u-bolts for the rear lift. I think I'm going to find myself a pre 79 truck...or a white 89-95

 

Looks like I'll be keeping this one stock height for a min. My next door neighbor agreed to sell me his white 91 when his taxes come in.

btw, removed the blocks and found out I was running these heavy angled blocks. My buddy said he paid close to $100 for these. Now I know why...Beefy

 

Truck is back up and riding Cadillac smooth... Thanks to the 205/70/14 balloon tires. I opted for a 1" difference in ride height between front and rear.




I love the way it looks from 30 ft away but up close, you see all the swirls, nicks, chips and dents. If only my truck looked this good up close.

 

Pics of neighbors truck??

 

It's an old 90/91 reg cab daily with 225k miles. Since it's an automatic, I can let my youngest learn how to drive in it.

 

It is a nice 70 deg out today so I decided to paint the rear bumper. I cant stress enough how much I recommend this Dupli Color bumper paint. I was able to do both front and back bumpers with one can. Results are like night and day





and just for sh!ts n giggles, 7 17" Steelies. The top one has been curbed so that one has to go.

 

random pic of the under-the-seat amp. An Alpine class D mono sub amp.(300wx1 @4/500x1@2 ohms)

 

nice now run the steelies lol

 

I second the duplicolor bumper paint I used it on my front grill bumper and valance holds up great and you can apply armor all to it

 

Selling the rear beefy blocks? Nice work on the paint btw

 

custom made box? looks good. hoping to get a box made to sit subs behind the driver and passenger side.

 

Yeah, It's a custom box for a 6" sub

Well, I ordered 4 205/40' Falkens yesterday morning from my tire guy and today, I came across a set of 18" explorer steelies.

I just need to find the guy some 16s for his truck and the 18s are mine. Looks like I'm going to have to sell the 17s now (set of 7)
