    Anyway im posting this up just to show u guys what ive been up to since i got rid of my yota.

    Purchased a 86.5 Hardbody longbed from my friends' dad last year and the progress has been slow but ive been putting in work.

    So far what ive got done is:
    ~4" front drop, ~4+" rear
    18" Titan 5 spoke wrapped in 225/40 off brand tires
    Tinted tails, turn signals, and amber on corner light
    5% tint
    Grafted 89-94 yota hood bulge
    Rusted 4x4 fenders
    Pioneer head unit
    SBW swap
    Thrush 24" glasspack (i think its a 2 footer:thinking:)
    Painted radio bezel

    I think thats it soooooooo......ON WITH THE PICS!!!!
    Stock and pretty much how i bought it. The grille was installed after the pic was taken..

    Future plans:
    Roll pan
    possibly newer frontier tailgate
    different front bumper
    Bags are a maybe.
    C-notch forsure
    Bucket seats
    new mids and bass later
    more bodywork
    crystal clear headlights w/HIDs
    new fenders
    something with the grill
    pathfinder quarter panels grafted to the bed.
    ...more crap that i cant think of right now but thats the idea.

    Looking good & you can raise those front leaf hangers if you want more clearance till you bag it.

    You have to trim the fender a little, but the 2wd bumpers fit perfectly.

    And I will be getting another Yota in the future jus dnt know wen.

    Yota4life- I actually sold the roof to some dude in LA from No Regrets.

    And no it wasnt a 4x4 it was just high as fck.

    Thanks for all the replies guys

    Alright so plans have changed, ima put the truck for sale within the next week or two. After thinking things over for a few weeks ima just sell it and put the $$ towards something newer n more dependable. More than likely guna be a car tho. I need a DD that i know i wont chop up so ima be getn a 4 door. Im thinkin bout buyin another dodge/plymouth neon. But thats still not guna happen for another while so in the meantime...

    Thats a 4" drop?

    Yeah i agree redrill the rear hangers and a 3" block and you will just about be sitting on frame. Throw some "flip flops" in as a bumpstop and roll the bedsides a bit and should fit. Looking good though.

    Heres some inspiration
