    Heres my red truck. This one has replaced my yellow one that died of cancer. It sports a automatic...low low miles for a 23 year old rig...and a decent static drop....but its soon to be lower with 4" DJM blocks and flipped ball joints....Should be done before the Southern Mini Nats in Maggie Valley !!!!

    Thanks everyone. Actually they were once American Racing chrome steel wheels with baby moon caps. I think they stilll make them but these are 15yrs old. I got them for free and the were totally rusted and peeling off the chrome. So I cleaned, blasted, and rattle canned them primer then acrylic black enamel. The centers I salvaged with Copper Cream and a dremel. Not bad for 35 dollars in supplies and a days work I think. :D

    Thanks man ! My next step on the wheels is to get them powder coated. I was thinking about changing the grill to a 4x4 one ...maybe a 84-86 one...I have a black 4x4 grill but I like the chrome one better but cant seem to find the genuine toyota part.

    hey Joe ... the handle is off a 89 sr5 extended cab that I bought out of a junkyard for 5 bucks. I was suprised that it fit as good as it did. :D
