    i've been looking at tires, but not too sure if i want to go thicker yet,

    i also need brake pads, should i get just only get new brake pads, or new rotors and calipers?
    or would that be too costly?

    Sick truck homie, build coming along great! Was it difficult to put on the DJM arms? I'm expecting my 3" LCAs to come in soon that's why...

    just make sure you have the right tools, i needed the drill bit, and i guess you were supposed to untorsion the torsion bars, i still don't know where those are! but overall it took me 4-5 days because i didn't have the right tools.

    I got most of the tools I guess, plus an impact gun is gonna make things go by a little quicker, hopefully. What did you use the drill for?

    hehe maybe when i put my steelies back on!


    i used the drill for the control arm bolt, the unsplined one, so that it would accept the new bolt they give you.



    i'm thinking about drop spindles now, but i hope they won't make my wheels rub.

    So.. some lady cut me off and hit my corner lights, and now I have a 300 bucks to get new ones, and get my truck aligned.. but now i'm thinking about just getting some drop spindles, do you guys think that'll be a good idea?

    HELLO TOYOTAMINIS!~

    I'm back, sorry its been awhile, busy with school and things! And yet my truck has sustained another accident, this time its pretty bad. Since my car has been immobile, I decided to put in my seats, and roll cage thingy / harness bar.
    I have gutted my interior, and installed visors, and other small things such as underdash antenna, and cigarette lighter or in the process of installing them.

    I also have bought four rims, two rays 57s pros and rota torques in gold.

    can't wait to take pics and show you guys soon!

    I mean cut metal and drill holes instead of buying seat brackets. :p

    I bought it off craigslist for about 130 bucks, and bought a hub. Super easy to install, probably one of the easiest things to install in my truck. I believe it requires 19mm socket and phillips screwdriver and crowbar.
