    I know. I planned on Zing mine but time constraints and money didnt allow me to. But I wouldnt consider mine to be unfinished or anything. I guess its just one of those things...

    Thaa wat were saying, it "LOOKS" unfinished cuz were all used to seeing trucks layed flat. So seeing a yota with the front slightly up from not being Z'd people tend to think unfinished or lazy. I personally wouldnt say u gt lazy with urs cuz ive checked out ur build thread and its obvious u put effort and detail into it.

    I havnt Z'd mine yet, we are planning on building an entire front half later this summer so decided not to waste our time doing it right now. It does look goofy but I can 3 wheel so I really dont care

    You won't need 2x3 to Z it. You'll need 1/4" plate. All your doin is cutting a line then welding it up then plating it in the shape of a Z. Hence the name
