Hey im a new member here and fairly new to the truck scene. I have had the truck for about 3 month and it was bone stock other then it being pretty dirty and a cut off muffler. Current mods are: (intake, muffler w/ turndown, 3"rear blocks, BJ flip and cranked torsions, tint, 16" Mitsu. Starion wheels, tinted lights around, hid kid, home depot front lip
Next mods will be shorter stroke shocks and lower the rear a few inches more without really softening the suspension and suggestions??
anyway here are the pix...

 

wow truck is looking scary!
i like the rims! are you planning on lowering it a bit?
whats the plans

 

Looks a little like mine!



Where did you get that lower valance lip?

 

Clean truck bud. It does look a little like JamesD's truck

 

Nice Yota!

 

Thanks all I want to lower the rear a little more but I dont want to really soften up the suspension so im thinking how to do that..Its also in need of shocks baad so thats my next mod..It does kinda look like James truck except mine aint so shinny anymore but I hope fix that soon with paint The front lip is the home depot special front lip and set me back about 10 bux with hardware here is the link I followed
http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=293828 its pretty sturdy and in the garden section

 

I considered the lip a few times.

after seeing your truck, i may consider going with a black front end like that....


What HID's are those?

I'm not sure how tall your tire height is... fact. is about 26". As for the rear, when you installed the drop blocks, did you keep the centering pin on?

 

yea I picked up a new bumper and lip since it was in a minor crash with the previous owner, I didnt like the factory gray color so I sprayed it black. not sure of the housing brand on the lights but its a 6k kit off my old ae86 i had laying around. For the centering pin on the block I left them but had to grind it a little to fit right. I heard flipping the helper spring might lower it a little? or is that only when u remove a leaf?

 

nice project

 

I love that blacked out grille and corners. Looks sick.

 

sick lookin truck man. have you had any problems with cops and your dark corners and turns? i just blacked out my turns, and im workin on switching my turns to my corners, but its being a pita.
here is a pick of mine

before:


After:


but i decided im going to prerunner it, not lower it so hopefully this is its lowest point.

 

I did my tails and the front and no problems so far. At first when I did my rears it was too dark so I resprayed them a little lighter where u can just see the red and orange colors under. Prerunner would be cool there is a clean 2wd one down the street from me with the tall front suspension, fenders and all I will try n get a pic

 

yah that would be cool if you got a pick up. i saw this one this weekend down in san diego when i went spearfishing, and hopefully it will look something like it, just not as much fenderflares. but i want to keep the 2wd corners cus i think they look better than the 4x4.

 

I'd rock that. anyday

 

ya when i saw it i almost jizzed my pants. im pretty sure its the 22re. it was a 5spd mani like my truck. oh and i finally got my turns where my corners are =D

 

A nice blue 2wd like yours a little more then half way down

the lifted one in the desert? what post number.

 

Snapped a few more quick pix lowered the rear a little more by removing a leaf and new shocks all around plus a few more other small things painting here and there.
next plans are bucket seats, sway bars and small notch in the rear for some travel.

 

sweet! a wingless EVO!

truck is looking really good.

as for the small dent in the rear of the bed curve, i say you find a small hamer and just tap it out.

happy truckin

 

thanks ! yea thats the next thing I need to learn is body work one thing I dont do on cars and ha. But the truck has a few dings and dents here and there I think im goin to attempt to fix them and eventually paint the truck.
