Hey all, i've been reading this forum a lot lately since I picked up my pickup. I've had it about 3 months now, and when I got it it was in great condition. I've spent the past 2 months doing mostly tune up stuff, plugs, wires, distrib cap and rotor, fluids, brake pads, rotors up front, battery, alternator, belt, air filter, fuel filter. Just recently I added 3" blocks in the rear and put some new H4 headlights in it. I've always loved mini trucks, and finally got one. I look forward to speaking with you guys and customizing my truck in the future.
When you guys say post pics, do you mean in my profile? As for future plans, I think it would be really awesome if I could make the low back enough, to ride a bike up into the back if I back the truck up to a curb or speed bump. I want to cut the bed and maybe bag it, or just static drop it really low with C notches and stuff and then build a little cover for where I cut the bed. It would have an angled piece that plateaus and continues to the back of the bed. The front tire of the motorcycle would sit up on it, and I would strap the bike down and it would be angled, with the front tire higher up in the air. I'll draw a picture of my idea and post it.
Oh haha, another funny idea i've been tossing around, is using 2 motorcycle 2" exhaust pipes, making stacks out of them, and just cutting two holes in the front left, and front right corners of the bed to route them through. My truck was purchased with no pipe after the muffler, so I figure it wont be too hard to weld in a Y right there, and some other pipes with minor bends to attach to the stacks. I wonder what it will sound like.
Like the one I found in the gallery located at this link http://www.toyotaminis.com/gallery/data/502/3586401733_f59349cb84.jpg I want to be able to do that with my truck.
Ok, so here is an update with pictures of my truck now that i have done a few things with it. So far I think the exhaust is the coolest thing about it, it sounds really great also, they are motorcycle slip on exhausts from a Vstar 1100, and I had a muffler shop cut the muffler and weld in a Y pipe up to the bed. I was surprised at how much it opened up the throttle response. I think it will look cool once i lower the front, get some rims, and finish painting it. I'm also on the lookout for a good deal on some seats, I want to get rid of the bench.
