well as the title says im new and have already made a list of mods for my 91 hilux, tell me what any of you think about my simple mod list. 1st, im going to switch the maf to a 5mge maf so ican run a better intake system, then I will port the stock exhaust manifold just a bit, I would like to run 2'' magnaflow high flow cat, and 2.25 cat back into 2.25 flowmaster super 40 series muffler. then will be lighting, as my truck is red I want to stick to a red/chrome color scheme so I found a set of red/clear led tail lights, clear front marker lights and will be running brushed aluminum rims with red center caps. headlights will be clear h4 glass housing headlights with piaa xtreme white bulbs, led licence plate lights and hopefully chrime mirrors. feed back is greatly appreciated. what do y'all think?

 

Welcome to the site, but your getting ahead of yourself there. We are going to need some pics first.

 

Welcome

 

Welcome to TM!
Sounds like you got a nice idea of where you wanna go with your truck. Lets get some pics up for us to see now

 

to be honest, I don't know how to upload pics. :/

 

In the or near the off topic section, there is a thread about how to post pictures.

 

Welcome!
Didn't read of any plans to slam it!!

 

ok, ill look up that thread and post pics asap! my truck is already lowered on 14's, I want 16's to fill in the little bit of wheel gap left and also have a huge brushed lip.

this is my new toy, has new paint, oil free engine, runs amaing, now time to match the looks with performance.

 

Sweet man!

 

Plan sounds nice and simple. Only thing id change is adding a header. Pacesetter makes a good one. Mines held up for almost six years. 2.25" exhaust will be good for a stockish motor. 2.5" is louder and not needed by a mild engine. If ya add cams and bigger injectors it would then help more for 2.5"


Truck looks good tho. I always loved that color.

 

I have a set of chrome door handles if you're interested. They have the locks still. $25 plus shipping.

 

thanks, I cant wait to start installing new parts, I was realy lucky with finding this truck in this codition for cheap. id love to bag it but theres no point where I live. lol

 

also, the only reason I wont throw a header on, in my opinion its a little more then I need since im gonna keep it stock with exception to the intake. porting is just gonna make up a bit for the free flow exhaust. I too love red, it cleans up really well.

 

ill keep in mind those chrome door handles, thanks for the offer! I might have to just drive down there and pick them up. haha

 

Where are you located? I don't bother with bags either. A Toyota will get super low without them. And I usually have at least one set of chrome handles so hit me up anytime. A header will need a little welding to tie it into the existing system. Not totally needed. A ported manifold will help some. Port the intake manifold too it helps alot, EFI or carbed.

 

Ya, i will hit you up as soon as taxes come in. I love in hillsboro about 30 ish minutes from portland. I found a set of all brushed xxr 002 rims im gonna put on my truck with red centers. They are 16x8 with 0 offset. Cant wait for that.
