    I dont come on here quite often.. but i figure you guys might like to see my truck. I have done a bit of work to it since i got it, some cosmetic, some suspension, little bit of engine work. Anyways, heres a picture of it.. any questions, i would be glad to answer:
    When i first got it:

    Then i did the body work:

    Primered it, and powdercoated the wheels:

    Little while later, i had a drift mishap, and crashed it:

    But no worries, i built it back up again, this time looking better.

    I go to the canyons alot, because i like to grip... almost more than i do drift. So i added some forward lighting to help me see.

    And this is what it looks like in its current state:

    Bro! Sick truck! I stay near West Covina... We should cruise up to Azusa or Turnball one day. I need ideas for my truck... Especially those lights you put on your bumper... And what seats did you use on your truck? I'm tired of my bench seat

    I dont hit up either of those haha.. too much of a bust. But i do go to gmr like 2 times a week. I hit up front side, and ridge. I stay away from back side. I have two sparco sprints in the truck, they work great!!

    Oh forsure, nice truck regardless. I have 16x7's all around, 225/50 in the front, 205/50 in the rear. I just picked up some 16x8's for the front so the 225 wont be so bubbled.

    Where did you get the mudflaps on the front? Or what did you make them from.

    These should be for sale pretty soon ;)

    I go the canyons alot, and it gets foggy. Out here in cali, its illegal to have yellow headlights.. so keepin one normal and one yellow, i can always make an excuse if i get pulled over like.. oh the other one broke or something. Also, the yellow helps quite a bit for the fog. Let me see if i can find an engine pic, all i have done so far is:
    -Electric fan
    -Electric fuel pump
    -Headers
    -Header back exhaust, n cat.
    -Weber Carb
    -MSD Ignition
    -LC Engineering Cam w/ reuilt head

    This summer ill be swapping it for a 1uz, because i need more power haha. Also, the bar going across the front bumper is basically a bash bar, if i tap anyone or something.. so the bumper itself wont get as damaged. It helps :D


    The mudflaps all around are from a honda passport. Not much work needed to make them fit,
