    So first off I would like to say thank you to a lot of the posters, to many to name one by one, but Ive been lurking this forum for nearly ten months and have finally started to tear into my truck and Im getting ready to begin posting about it.

    These were taken after I got the truck and had the windows tinted. this was back in 2008.

    These were taken earlier this year. I replaced the Fenders since the original were crumpled, Changed out the Sealed Beam lights, and added the clear turn and corner lights, along with the tail lights.

    And Finally these were taken a few weeks ago, I got the Chrome Grille and did a ton of under the hood stuff(Ill add Pics of that later)

    So let me know what you think, Before doing the engine work I wanted to run it off a cliff. But now its got a whole new heart and im loving it.

    Near Future Plans: Drop it enough to level it out, Header back exhaust, 17" Wheels, Paint it, Replace front and rear bumper, new windshield, SR5 Gauge Cluster. And to get rid of the infernal ticking in the valves....

    when you do your speedo cluster, you should consider grabbing a 4runner steering wheel from the junk yard with the cruise on there, thats what i did in my 91. just go grab a 4runner bentley manual while your at it though too. or else things can get a wee bit tricky. trucks coming along =]

    ya, was debating on the fenders. I picked these up for 20$ each though. and I wasn't sure if I was going to like the 4wheel fenders.
    Ill post Engine and interior tomorrow
