so im not sure if any of you ever get this but its been a few years since i started on my lux and ive been finding myself up against a wall on this project. probably longer than ive actually realized......

ive hit it so hard im actually taking offers on the truck as of right now....... im not sure what to do..... ive been EVER so slowly working on it here and there and havent found the motivation to really get it tied up and finished. as it was, today i drove it around for an hour or so...... hell i even raced a pretty damn quick prelude and tesed myself with a motorcycle as well....... i didnt get the same enjoyment out of it as i used to....... its jut "not there" for me anymore...

it honestly breaks my heart to see her sit there...... ive spent so much hard earned money and well put effort into this truck..... i look at old pictures and i feel regret to have ever touched it past the simple drop and wheels i had on there before...... i dont know what to do.

keeping in mind i had promised i would take someone on a cruise with it i committed myself to setting up the date for the big cruise event witch in turn gave me no choice but to finish up the modifications in 4 weeks so i can lead this cruise out. my thing is now im working on it not because i want to but because i have to leaving this to possibly be a wrong action since now i dont even enjoy working on it....... whats the fun in it anymore if i dont enjoy it?

thoughts?

 

this is some ****tty stuff man. i say build it and hold it. the thing thatll get you jump started is when somone talks to you about the truck and makes you feel good wen he appreciates the work you put in...then youlll work on it more and more...thats how i am

 

Just drive something slow and ****ty for a couple weeks. You'll get back into it and love it. I'm the same way with mine, I look at it and am like "Its not low enough" or get bored with the same old same old. And because other than paint, aren't you pretty much done with it? You've already done a bunch. I say slap a coat of new paint, just something cheap and one color, and drive it. But don't sell it. You will kick yourself for a waaay long time.

 

Keep it. Let everyone and their kid run around with a mustang, or camaro, or Z, or civic, or hell, even a minivan.

But we, we shall roam in our Toyota Hilux's.

it seperates US from THEM. why? because we hold something that is not so common and holds a long line history of trucks that have great mighty potential.

 

Yeah. That, and because your truck is cin's nightly "reading material"

 

mmm, exciting

 

Maybe cuz you HAVE TO work on it makes not wana do it.

Ive lost joy in projects when i wasnt able to work on it at my pace. Ive given up on my truck already too. But i still really wana get it goin to show it off to all those people that told me i fckd up wen i bought it.

Take a step back from it. after a while youll wana get back on it

 

yea, i know..... im trying my hardest to see past this right now..... my friend is tellin me the same thing.... she's trying really hard to cheer me up past this but its been getting harder and harder. it may not just be this thats kickin me down at the moment as other things in my life are either goin down the crapper or damn near..... been dealing with allot lately so turning to my truck for some reason aint helping as of late.

i made a list of all i have done to the truck and what its worth new, (not counting the truck itself)....... in other words how much money i have dumped in...... and i mean DUMPED IN! and its damn scary........... hell, even if i was to piece it out i'd still make some serious bank..... not even including the truck in the sale, just the aftermarket. (by the way, if you love your truck, dont ever make a price sheet of stuff you can sell off it... bad idea )

thanks guys for the kind words of encouragement

 

that always works.. maybe you just need to change up something. I hated my dads mercedes until I got the windows tinted. I wanted a new truck until I put in power windows and key less entry.

Maybe all you need is some comfort mods .. like tint, or dynamat.. maybe a new steering wheel and pedals.. or a stereo with a phone kit.

If you had/have intentions of bagging it, there is a very big difference between a bagged truck and a static dropped truck.

 

I feel you man just think of all the hard work you've put into it an Rollin up to tht cruise an leading it with a sik ass yota. An ppl comin up to you givin you compliments on what a good job you've done. An then after the cruise just set it aside for a little til you get the motivation to work on it or hell chop it or body it haha. Just keep on it man an our little yotas will outlast anything gm or ford make

 

PMS!!



Post Modiyfing Syndrome! Don't worry bro, it only should last a week... J/P man!

Seriously tho... Whatever you decide to do, you got my support. I had to give up a few projects due to life changing reasons myself... Things happen for a reason I guess, so I roll with the punches and make the best of it...

Hope it works out for you!

 

I'll trade you my '08 Borolla for a couple of weeks... You'll probably be begging for your truck back after a day in my daily commuter...



But, relax... take a few deep breaths and think long about your decision... Go park it at a friend's place and see how you feel when it isn't around... After all, in the end, do what you feel is right, but don't make a hasty decision... I keep kicking myself in the ass quite often for giving up on a '77 KE30 Corolla that I owned... I gave it away for free, and now I really, really want it back... I made a hasty decision on it, and I was kind of pressured to get rid of it... I also kind of regret selling my '87 Camry Wagon, which was another hasty and pressured decision...

 

when I get tired of my kidney's being killed I jump in the wife's jeep, they get killed anyway so it makes me want to drive my truck..

 

my complaint is not the ride itself..... it actually rides quite nice... nicer than my lifted 4runner. and its probably that within itsef that i drive my 4runner that im actually tired of it. i really dont like driving the 4runner at all much since the other truck just sits....

yea...... ill see what happens after the cruise.

that was funny man!

thanks i do appreciate the support. i mean i do think about it though..... what else would i get into even if i sold both my current trucks and i cant think of anything else i would get into other than maybe a S-Runner or maybe a gts corolla....... other than that however its back to a yota truck. not to mention both vehicles i mention i would honestly want to rekindle my modifying instincts so......... maybe it is just boredom

im currently helping my friend out on her truck (truck is so hot it almost rivals her.......... almost) and it gives me a serious break from mine....... but to tell you the truth its making me want to sell all my stuff off and get one of these instead

her truck...

SD, you know you can't make a comparison of her to her truck without a photo of both

 

i think i just did........

sorry.... no can do without proper authorization.

if i was a mod, then i might.... cus then i could take it down after a certain amount of time for the sake of her privacy.

 

Just keep the photo PG-13, we have Cin on the site remember?

 

aww man.......... well i guess thats a no go then

j/k


just take my word for it.

 

Duuuuuuude just keep it. You already came this far with it. Plus you'll regret getting rid of it like I did the 94. Slowly but surely she will get done.

 

Thts a sik taco I wonder what she looks like
