    Alright guys this is my first truck. Traded my lexus sc300 to my brother for this 91 reg cab. Bone stock when I got it and the project is well on its way. Im lovin the mini so far.

    This is where I started

    First thing I started with is an intake/battery swap followed by headers,hi flow cat, and flowmaster muffler

    after small things like a new car lighter for my phone charger, spark plugs, oil change, etc.
    I decided to lower the truck and sand all the flaking paint. There were plenty of dents to fix too. Soon after I hooked up a 92-95 4runner front bumper

    thanks very much guys I just realized this is in the wrong section lol. Anyways about the lexus my bro needed something with seats for his kids and I needed something cheaper. The lexus needed a 5 speed swap and I already spent an arm and a leg on its stance. Also Bmx is a pretty big part of my life so the bed helps.

    san diego california. The 90 came from autozone, I cut some thin rubber gaskets to give it a good seal on the throttle body. It has a built in clamp that needed a little help
