I thought it was a ruckus you posted. They're that right blend of goofy and awesome. If I come across a deal ill sure own one. I have lots of silly two wheeled ideas though lol.

 

The bike's looking clean! He's got some nice parts on there

 

If you do ever get one, hit me up if you need any info! I've had mine for about 4 years now, and I have a ton of knowledge and connections for them...

 

I spy a Honda Ruckus.

Oops...I didn't see the second page of responses. I've owned three Rucks at one time, but now just stick with one and my other bigger bikes. Super fun.

 

I own 2 myself, but this one has the most money and nicest parts on it. I hate to think how much $$$ I have into it, but it's very unique and not many like this on the road.

Here's another couple of pics showing more details...

 

I saved a couple pics of one I found on the interwebz. Those damn things are expensive, not to mention all the mods you can do!

 

yea man, my buddy Gil is part of the big ruckus movement down here and one of the ringleaders of Riderz Blok.

i like your build man... looks simple n clean!

 

So today my tail lights were stolen when parked in front of the local junkyard. Dumb ****s didn't take the harness to run the LED tails so they're pretty much useless to them. Bitches...

 

Jus ordered some Bilstein shocks for the truck. I installed basic Monroe shocks about 3k miles ago but I needed something stiffer for when I haul my scoots around. Anybody interested in buying a lightly used set of Monroe shocks front and rear. Thinking around $50 for them

 

Installed new shocks today! Feels soo much better now!!!

 

Washed her up real nice and went for a little drive today. These shocks are night and day difference from the Monroe shocks. It feels much more sportier and I highly recommend them, well worth the money!

 

Finally sourced all my air conditioning parts, anyone in the SoCal area familiar with converting a non AC truck and for a reasonable price? Please let me know

 

Stayed home from work today and installed my 4 runner front end. Not as hard as I thought it would be

 

Looking good bud. Just wondering, for that front end do you need the runner hood or could you stick with the old version?

 

Making good use of them I c haha, looks great man

 

I'm using my stock hood

For those who would like to know, here is a list of parts I used for the conversion

Headlights and housing/bracket
Headlight wiring
Grill
Fenders and fender brackets
Bumper and bumper brackets
Valence
Side markers
Turn signals

1" self tapping screws
1/2" nylon spacers

Wish I would have taken pictures, but here is a quick run down of what I did:

Start by removing sidemarkers, grill, bumper, fenders, then headlights.

Install 4runner or 4wd fenders and appropriate brackets.

Cut headlight connectors and solder in the 9006 connectors.

Relocate the horn.

Next, mock up the headlights and grill and sidemarkers.

I did this by sliding the sidemarkers onto the grill, then starting on one side, slide the headlight into the grill and screw in the only 2 screws into the sidemarkers light.

Repeat the process on the other side. At this point the only thing keeping the headlights up is the grill.

Next align the headlight spacing so they are even on both sides.

Once that's complete, using a self tapping srew, mount the top of the headlight. Be careful not to crack the housing. I did not use a spacer on top because there was a weird angle on the radiator support that didn't allow me to do so.

Now using self tapping screws and the 1/2" spacers, mount the bottom of the housing via the metal housing bracket.

Once you have the top and bottom secure on the headlights, remove the grill to access the rest of the mounting positions. Screw those in.

Install grill, bumper, etc.

Align the light pattern on the headlights.

Hope this helps someone

 

Yeah thanks Vic! I still have the fenders, headlights, and grill you sold me if you know anybody looking for some. I forgot I had pulled some parts off a 4runner a while ago at the yard so I only ended up using the bumper

 

So I ordered a set of these oem floormats on EBay, pretty good deal on the set if you ask me. Just wanted to post it up and share 1989 1995 Toyota Compact Truck Front Carpet Floor Mats Gray 00200 35920 03 | eBay

 

cant wait to possibly do the 4runner front end. that walk through is gonna come in handy for me later! thanks a bunch. your trucks looking awesome so far man.

 

Looking for a paint and body guy in the SoCal area. Want to get the truck painted soon.

So far I have a quote for $1550 for a black repaint not removing any of the trim, but will include sand blasting the whole truck and powder coating the front and rear bumpers.

Another quote for $1800 for a repaint in black, removing all trim and bed, in either one or two stage. I'm sure I could get them to paint the bumpers and grill as well for the same price.

If I have to go with one of the options mentioned above, need help deciding. Any input greatly appreciated
